Choosing a TFT LCD Monitor for Gaming

[Tyreal]

The Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) has been the standard for PCs from the start - from the ancient, tiny green screens to today’s high powered 20" + SVGA behemoths. However, while the image quality of CRT's has continued to improve, there are other areas that are still a concern: mainly power consumption, physical size and radiation emissions. Thanks to standards like TCO'95, the issues of power consumption and emissions are being addressed. These standards are evolving as quickly as the technology. The issue of size, though, has not been as easy to overcome. In fact, as monitor prices continue to fall, users are purchasing larger and larger monitors. The downside of this new purchasing power is that these big monitors consume an immense amount of the space on your desk.

I thought I would share this. I stumbled upon this link this morning while I was searching up definitions for Pixel Pitch and Contrast Ratio. Its a good guide and informative if you don't know anything on the subject.

I'm looking forward to the SED (Super conduction Electron emitter Display)

It has the same quality as CRTs while having the dimensions of a LCD. The best of both worlds!

What it looks like is millions of single pixel CRTs in a flat housing.

So it's as bright as a CRT while having the size of a LCD. Also it has a 1ms reaction time.

That's some incredible technology. But think of the starting prices... Remember the prices when LCD's came out. A 15" LCD was somewhere near $800.
