Anyone got a flatscreen monitor?

OK. This is from personal experiences. I have two CRT and a Sony LCD M81. Lets me tell you. CRT can't come close to the clarity and the precision of a TFT LCD. I love my LCD not the fact that it take up less space, much lighter, consume less energy, nor does the fact that there is no flickering. I love it because I am a graphic designer. Every pixel counts. Back then, LCDs are expensive and the contract ratio is bad. Now aday, you can grab on for the price of 1000 with ratio of 400:1 and you will be in love.

I am a very extensive gamer. I play full time game on my computer. I build a computer just for gaming. I have no problem with the LCD. No flickering, no shadowing, no delay ghost image, or any dead pixels when I am playing Warcraft3, UT2003, QuakeIII, SOFII, Commandos 2, and more... You named it I probably owned in my collections.

I don't know what the fuss about LCD. So far I have not one problem with it. My recommendation: Once you use a LCD, CRT will never do justice.

If you plan to buy LCD buy anything with contract ratio greater or equal 400:1. Nothing less.

Yeah, thats true. If they cant afford it they moan and start giving out stuff like "It creates 25ms" Thats aload of crap... No lag for me and im a heavy gamer.

I got a very nice 17" Samsung (Silver) TFT Flast Screen. Expensive but worth it... My old monitor lasted 4 years!!

AaronXP -- TFT stand for Thin Film Transistor and is one way on creating the sc-called flat screen technology. It is the best type of LCD because it is Active Matrix vs. other types that can be Passive Matrix. Active provides better contrast and responsiveness.

Actually, it starts to get confusing - because there is also a CRT technology called 'flat screen' which refers to a TUBE with the visible 'screen' being flat. More correctly called flat tube.
