Need LCD advice for Lomac

[haze]

Hi, I may need to purchase a new monitor and was thinking about foregoing a big crt for a LCD. The crt I have now is in for repair (warranty) and it has great color rendition and clarity but is huge (22inch) and weighs a ton and takes up a lot of space and generates a lot of heat so I was thinking about getting a LCD for gaming and especially for Lomac. Are crt's still better or have the LCD's caught up and if anyone can recommend one I would sure appreciate it, thanks!

Response time is a big consideration. < 8 ms.

I have the same LCD that Thomas has...viewsonic 20.1, the response time is 12 ms which is plenty fast. Even playing shooters such as COD there is NO ghosting.

I have a Viewsonic 20.1' model which is very good, and not expensive: $500

 

It causes me some fright at the thought of your definition of expensive... :D

 

You can get wide 22" TFT's for half that price.

Well I'll give you my speal since you asked... The TFT's are all made by Samsung, and I think LG... Samsung has actually combined forces with Sony out in the western part of the USA, so even Sony now uses Samsung screens ..

 

As far as heat is concerned though the tft's give off a lot of heat as well..

 

And for Visual clarity ..I have an old flat screen CRT monitor and I also have a large TFT.. Well nothing really beats the quality of my CRT.... But The TFT comes close....
