   Topic: Recommendations for 19" LCD?
Posted: 27/March/2006 at 3:46pm |
Looking for a 19" LCD display with DVI input. The display will be used for gaming, so a decent refresh rate is a must, and it must be able to display at least 1280x1024.
Any recommendations?

Dell 1905FP Ultrasharp, I have one and <3 it. Native 1280x1024, all the goodies, USB ports on the side, you can rotate the screen 90 degrees to have a portrait view.
Samsung 940B's are very nice too. Really bright, pretty much the exact same thing, they just look a little different.

Any recommendations? I've seen most people going for the Dell 20"ers... Sometimes they can dip below 400 with coupon codes... Although, LCD's have a delay no matter how fast the refresh rate is... Not a ghosting type delay, but an actual delay before something is displayed on the screen.. Just to keep you informed. http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/67909 965/m/871008487731/p/1 *remove the space when you copy/paste

Yeah the delay is inevitable.

How bad is it though? Do you notice anything like this playing Planetside Fayaz? And is this only a problem with Dell monitors?

I'm using a 19" ViewSonic G90fb CRT right now. I was going to get an LCD to have more space on my actual desk.
Reading about this lag/twitch I am now thinking twice about actually getting once... since all I really do is FPS games.

I've been looking a lot lately for a decent CRT monitor, but it seems everyone has gone to LCD.. I prefer CRT, mainly because I know that the price of LCD's is 50% profit... But that's me, always fighting the man... I'm sure the lag would be something that you would eventually get used to, since Fayaz still can kick ass.

These are the two LCDs I am considering:
ViewSonic VX922 19" LCD 2ms Response Time ~$350
NEC LCD1970GX-BK 19" LCD 8ms Response Time ~$370
Leaning more towards the NEC.
