[ARCHIVED THREAD] - An LCD question

Posted: 1/18/2005 7:40:57 PM EDT

I have a 21" CRT currently and want to reclaim my desk and move to an LCD. I am looking at an ACER 19" LCD for around $310. I am a technical kinda geek, but am umfamiliar with the "response" ratings. Would 25ms be slow, average or forget it? I understand how it can lead to "ghosting", but have nothing to benchmark it to.

The faster (lower) response time, the better. Mine's about 16ms, and that's considered good for DVDs and games.

So how would 25ms compare?

Um, well, it would be 36 percent slower...

Samsung makes a 12ms 17" panel that is very good. It runs about $400, but you can get them for $350 online. its the 710N version.

Its not 19" but 17 isnt all that bad.

I have a samsung 193p which is a 20 ms panel that will ghost a little. Mostly on dark colors.

Its a little slow by current standards. My Dell, an 1800FP (two years old) has one of 30 ms I think, and I barely notice it. Lots of people throw around the term 'ghosting', but its only an early LCD generation issue. If youn have a really fast video card and play 'fast games' (like HL2), then you may notice some. If its for everyday work, like internet use, then you will NOT notice it.
