ok, this question goes to ONLY those who use an LCD to play games:

questions:

1.) brand
2.) size
3.) games you play
4.) how you like it
5.) if you had to do it again what would you get?

so if you do not have one or are jaded and don't use one anymore please don't post how LCD's suck for gaming....

thanks!

Viewsonic VX series owners PLEASE post...

1.)Samsung Syncmaster 151BM
2.)15" (looks much bigger)
3.)Not too big on games but love GTA3 and have the UT2K demo
4.)I LOVE IT
5.)A bigger one :D
 
Check out gamespot hardware, they have a nice review for gaming on LCDs, I got my NEC 1550m from Newegg and boy I love it!:D
 
1.) IBM
2.) 18"
3.) War3 CS Sacrifice
4.) Colours are better, text more crisp, overall sharpness is better. Sitting in front of the screen for hours and not having the same effects as sticking your head in a microwave is also nice.
5.) Planning on 3X EIZO 685EX when it is released in NA.

5.) if you had to do it again what would you get? Probably get a Samsung, comparable quality but can be viewed clearly at much wider angles.

Do you have probs with CRTs with your eyes? I have considered getting one b/c I dont want to hurt mine but I havent had any probs with the CRTs yet. Also, those flat screens are so damn expensive!! I could buy a really awesome vid card for a good flat screen!
 
1.) ViewSonic VG151 with DIV in
2.) 15" (true 15, looks close to a 17 CRT)
3.) America's Army, Quake III
4.) Love it, especially for dorm room
5.) would have gone with 18"; I would get a DIV out vid card
 
Syncmaster 171p
ut2k3 moh 1942 q3
17inch
i would buy the 191p if it wasnt so expensive
 
IO Data 18" x 3 (Yep 3 flat screens :D )
great for gaming
great for space saving
great for games 1280 x 1024

I would have gone for the black ones rather than white
 
The apple cinema displays are

22" $2499
23" $3499

I dont remember how much the 17" is
