Which LCD to buy??

Vicki_Rau · 31st August 2006, 10:54

Planning to upgrade from 17" CRT to 19/21" LCD.
The main usage is NFS (Need for Speed) gaming.
Should I change to LCD or stick to CRT because of the slower LCD reaction time?
Appreciate feedback from the TBHP gang.

Fuelled, go for a ViewSonic. Nothing comes even close to it in displays.

where did you buy it from & how much you have paid for it ???

rsjaurr · 5th September 2006, 16:50

940BW may be wide screen one and 940B normal screen,just my guess though.
Recently i saw Acer ad of 19" LCD with price tag of around 15k.
