My monitor blew up this morning so I am thinking more seriously about getting a nice flat panel monitor. I already bought another 19" CRT monitor to replace the one I lost since I can't live without one. I am looking for suggestions since I don't have that much time to do research. I need something that can handle 3d games fairly well. I would prefer to stay on the lower cost side of things (i am a cheap bastard). It also has to be at least 19". Any suggestions for me?

No LCD-based monitor is "good" at action gaming. (2D/3D doesn't matter - that's the card, not the monitor.) Unlike CRT-based monitors, LCD monitors are high-persistence devices. That translates into streaking as the images of on-screen action or views change rapidly.

That being said, two of the better 19" LCD monitors are the NEC LCD1980SX and the Samsung 192T but neither is great. Their 17" counterparts are actually faster, but again, not great.

Unfortunately, for the time being, action gaming is better off on CRTs.

Have you seen the samsung 19" in action? THey hvae a demo of it at Bestbuy. you can play unreal on it. ITs' just simply amazing. aNd I don't notice any streaking or whatever that's supposed to happen.
In any case I just got my brother a Sony 17" LCD.
It should be here monday.
He's a programmer and watchs DVDs occasionaly. So clear text and minimal space was important.

As for me I'm still happy with my diamon max 2020u.

latter guys.

hi folks,

i use a Eizo FlexScan L565 TFT screen. overall the performance is great. analog input can be used at a very high quality level, colours are really brilliant and mostly natural.

DVD playback is no problem, the cell switching latency resides at a low value.

mainly i use it for text applications since i'm a developer, im not a gamer :)

cheers, waterproof

Eizo monitors are very excellent and recomended by me, also all Electron Blue 4 monitors by LaCie are recomended too. Both the Eizo and Electron Blue are professional grade monitors which are nice

I'm still using my 19" Sony Multiscan 400PS monitor I bought over 5 years ago. It's has very sharp image and very reliable. I definitely recommend a Sony monitor.

We got the Sony yesterday. Wow it is nice. The text is so clear. Right now the comps only running windows 2000, so no clear type. But damn does it look good. Also it seems like everything is running faster than the old monitor.

Well I'm happy with it.. too bad Its not mine.
