Yes digital makes a big difference. Where a tube is forgiving of the analog signal, an LCD really isn't and it makes the same signal look more blurry on an LCD (at least to me). But with digital, text is razor sharp.
Be careful of the really low ms response rates. Sometimes they are acheived by actually cutting out how many bits per pixel of color value the red, green, and blue pixels display. http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2289&p=2 Also be aware that unlike multisynch tube monitors, an LCD is designed for a single resolution. If you go with that 1600x1200 display, make sure your video card can support running games at that resolution. And if it can't, the next best resolution it will display is 800x600 since that's evenly divided. Getting a 19" monitor that displays 1280x1024 means that the display has a 5:4 ratio instead of a 4:3 ratio and there is no other downsampling resolution that will divide evenly and look right. I love my Dell 2001FP displays, but LCD stuff can be a pita to sort through compared to tubes. -Kevin On 6/9/05, Eric Carlisle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Everyone, > Gonna get an LCD monitor soon - everything I've bought so far has been > CRT.
