I wonder the pixel response is for a standard monitor? It doesn't seem to be a spec I see published for them.
Thanks all.
i use a NEC LCD 1760V, responce time 15ms, max refresh @ 1280 res is 75.
my 17" LCD gives me the same viewable i had with 19 " CRT.
the LCD works great in AH xcept in dark time, when contrast isnt as great. otherwise it works better then my 19" crt did. i can see better, farther with the LCD.
if u get a LCD try to get the lowest responce time u can find. the bigger u go above 17" the harder it will be to find RT below 20.
why big deal on RT(repsonce time)? this determines how much
motion blur u will get when fast turning like dog fighting or turret swinging. even at RT 15 i get alittle blur when Zoomed in and turning.
right now for games like AH and Racing i love it, but LCDs migh not still hold up for games like Quake and such FPS's.
