Good gaming monitor?

[eqmassa]

I am new to monitor purchasing, and am looking for a great CRT monitor for gaming (I refuse to even consider an exorbitant flat panel). I’ve heard good things about Samsung and Viewsonic. The spec system is indiscernible to me, but I definitely need very good levels of detail and a high refresh rate for high-end online gaming. As for the screen size, I want at least 17 inches (16 viewable) and will increase it in degrees based on price. For those curious, I’m going to be running a Barton 2500+, Abit NF7-S, and Radeon 9800np. Thanks!

Gaming PC in progress, suggestions welcome

What??? What have you been smoking? He's asking for advice on which monitor to get, not saying anything about sending one back. Man, lay off the crack.


I really don't have any experience with those two types, but I've heard good things about them. They are well known companies, who have made a name for themselves in the monitor business, so I would say they would be a safe bet.

No matter where you go, there you are.

Check out the monitor forums over at hardocp.com. There are a few pretty good threads going right now about various CRT's in different sizes.

The nec fe991sb is pretty good. I use it and am very happy. Good color, no image or text distortions, looks good in black too. It's a 19in. don't know if you want one that big, but it's a good monitor. Pretty cheap too, got mine for $245 shipping included.

Look into LG. <A HREF="http://www.lge.ca" target="_new">http://www.lge.ca</A>. They make beautiful monitors. The F700P and F900P are spectacular, both on paper and in real life.
