LCD Monitors

[jof]

Thinking about buying either a 22" or 24" widescreen LCD - for work and play. Is 5ms or 6ms considered good for gaming.

[Kamikazee]

yep.

Also depends on the type of lcd panel iirc. But generally anything under 6ms or under is great.
My 17" is 12ms and i have never noticed any bluring or loss of image quality. However i did notice an increase in image quality.
Then again, ive used a 19" lcd with a 12ms responce time and it blurred bad...
benchmarking was done with quake3

i think Fleshy got one of those Cheimei 22" Lcd panels . they are dirt cheap and reasonable image quality!

They are SENSATIONAL VALUE ! approx $525 for 22" insane value .

ask fleshy how it is ? i think he said he luvs it !

u could always get a Dell 24" widescreen for $1500 delivered or Dell 20" widesceen for $850 or 20" Lcd panel non widescereen for $750 all in OZ dollars !

Speaking of flesh, I might go around and see him tonite, after all he is 2 streets away, and I havnt seen him since the wedding, lol, maybe that was a wedding present. I must check this beast out, and at the same time purchase his old 21 inch monitor.

I thought you were already pretty familiar with fleshes "beast" already rock? Ahh any ol' excuse to "have a go" hey mate

dont settle for the 21", get his plasma screen instead! hehe

Ha I've already got a 155cm DLP for gaming and movies in the loungeroom, but it's not too good for working. My work PCs 19inch CRT is shitting me so I thought I'd upgrade to a nice widescreen LCD s they're so cheap now. Well the 22inch are cheap, not sure why the 24inch are typically 3x the price of the 22inch models. Think I'll just get a 22". I'll be able to write it off on tax too!

Been reading a lot of reviews and althought the 24-inch are a lot more expensive they do seem a step above the 22-inch models in a lot of ways. I think I'll go for the . Pretty exy but I'll be spending many many hours parked in front of it in the near future and I can write the bastard off on tax.

Well I''m very happy with my two 17'' Samsungs ---> 173P and a 173P Plus

The 173P has a contrast ratio of 700:1 but the Plus version has a 1500:1 ratio and you can easily see the difference when they are side by side.

The 224T has nice specs too 16.7mil colours @ 6ms and HDCP Support... NICE!!! I don't think you will be disappointed.

[jof]

Well just ordered the Sammy 244T, will arrive next week. Yeah Rusty I wanted to make sure I got one with HDCP support which most of the 22inch models don't. I wonder if my 6800GT will be up to gaming at 1900 x 1200. It does very well at 1280 x 720 with just about every game but I've never played anything higher than that because my TV doesn't support anything higher than that.
