TFT Monitors

[Elmer Fudd]

Whats the word on gaming and TFT monitors ?

Can they cope with high end graphics for games or is a CRT monitor the way to go ?

I'm in the market for a larger, possibly 21" CRT or an 18" TFT which would be best.

Desktop space is'nt an issue, quality is.

Any advice on manufacturer would be a help, as there's loads out there !

Thanks

Mark.

TFTs' max resultion is normally lower than CRT. They're generally more expensive and require more care/maintenance.

For now I'd go for a 21" CRT monitor with possibly FST or pure flatscreen!

I personally have a 19" FST CRT monitor and it rocks...

from what i've read, flat screens still can't cope with game playing properly due to refresh rate restrictions. i'm sure i'll be corrected if this has now changed

saying that, i have a tft monitor at work and i think it's excellent - much less tiring on the eyes and not as fuzzy as i'd been made to believe.

i've got a 20" crt at home which i.. er..  was given when my last comany went bust. it's fantastic. the only reason i'd replace it is to free up some desk space
