Well my monitor failed me today, just died on me. Tested a backup monitor and sure enough it worked. I was told my tech support that my monitor was working to hard with refresh rates or something. Now I am in fear to play on this monitor because it is 3x as old, and I figure it will break just as fast. Anyway to prevent this from happening?

Ya I've got a great montior
Send me your tower and I'll send you mine. Then everything will be perfect.

Bestbuy has a decent 19" MAG band monitor on sale this week for $99.00 (after $50 rebate).

My old 17" dies about two weeks ago and this was a nice deal. Should bide me over till flat screens come down in price more over the next few years.

I heard somewhere that if you get an LCD you may have problems with fast paced games burning images onto the screen because the pixels cant change color fast enough...?

I didn't think that was humanly possible.

That is not a problem with Rear Projoction LCDs nor is screen burn-in.

No problems with that. Plasma displays have had/has the problem with images beeing burnt into the screen.

If you mean something we call ghosting, then yes. That is only a problem with lw quality displays tho.
