Ive been thinking for ages about getting a tft moniter, this is on ebuyer, looks good. But im scared about the move LOL

Would u go to tft, if you have one whats it like with UT?

There are crt on ebay, but none of the shops have then anymore.
The moniter I have has 3 huge scratches in it (shaman had a fight with a moth using a flick knife Rolling Eyes

) And every so often the edges of the screen wobble.

Aren't TFTs more expensive than a regular LCD?

I would think for gaming since an LCD is good, tft would be a little better.

That's a good brand, but 25ms response time sucks, you probably won't be happy with that for games.

Cool thanks zed, I will give it a miss then.

What is a good responce time to look for, I know as low as posible LOL
Some have 16ms, is that good?

I have a friend who regreted buying a tft over his crt when it came to gaming! He said it made him feel sea sick when playing. So bad that he quit playing! Shocked

But thats only one persons experiance shared by me 3rd hand, and it was a year or more ago more like 18 months ago. So have tft's improved since then? I dunno.

I'll be sticking to my dual 21" cornerstone P1500 CRT's that cost me £40.00 each! Very Happy

8ms

I guess it would be fair to say this would be just a tad better than the one my m8 had!!! Laughing

Nice Lee!
Price looks more like what I would expect too. When something is cheap as chips but new, then it usualy performs that way. As a general rule, if ya pay that bit extra, ya get that bit extra eh! Smile

Lee how serious would you be about buying it?
I really thinking about getting the one you linked to, I couldnt find anything in the shops today with a responce time anywhere near that.
Do ya think it is worth its money?

I am pleased with it.
I can see the difference in UT, ghosting as I guess it is called and it will take some getting us to. But other than that its great. I had a 17" before, this is 19" and it feels HUGE.

The space difference on the desk is huge too. Loads more room. Once we get shaman hooked up with one we can cut the desk back a good 2 foot.
