Does anyone happen to have one of these?

Are these any good for consoles? It'd be nice to have my stuff together, I don't even have room for a tv. The main thing that concerns me though are the refresh rates. Most of the resolutions only have a 60htz refresh which would be bad for flicker...Does anyone here have one? I'd like to see some screenshots and opinions...if that's possible. Thanks. :D

I have one.

If you're using it with a CRT, then it works wonderfully. If you're using it with a LCD, you will see how nasty they look outside of their native resolution.

Flicker was never a problem on my Samsung 955DF or my current monitor, a 2001FP. It just doesn't look as good on my 2001FP as it did on the 955.

So it's like really HDTV quality? I'm guessing it looks best at 640x480 right? Is it like the vga adpters for consoles where it makes the games look really good colors and excessive jaggies? Thanks.

Yeah, its just like HDTV quality. I never noticed much different when games used 720p and 480p. The jaggies will depend on the game, for instance Burnout 3 looked jaggy regardless of if I play it on a CRT, HDTV, or LCD. KOTOR is the same way (both games are on Xbox).
