Hi Everyone:
Ok that age old addage, is it good enough for fast FPS gaming, I tried the Samsung 181T and it didnt come close although some people seem to think it does.
Can I suggest a test, can someone fire up Q3Arena and pick up a rocket launcher, let rip with a few rockets and then spin around keeping the rockets in view move a little if you have to. Basically I'm asking you to get a very fast moving object to move faster, hoping it will be seen where it actually is.
Does the rocket flicker about, now this isnt a blurring or trail question its a matter of sheer refresh rate if you move quickly it can take the LCD a while to catch up, and that means the movement becomes jerky.. too jerky in my opinion to play. If the Hitachi is good enough in my eyes, the missile should move smoothly around in perspective.
Sorry to place this burden on you, its that my view of gaming tolerance seems to be different to most peoples.
btw: I struggle with my eyesight which is why I'd like an LCD, I'm just holding on until the right time. I understand that whatever you say its just an opinion.

) then replayed at 4x speed. Things move fast then, it'd be interesting to see how they look on CML174- that'd be a pretty crazy test. 
Actually I got a new 17" recently (CRT that is) and am planning on keeping it till I get LCD. What worries me is the increases in brightness- my eyes are pretty sensitive to brightness, one of em b/c I got hit with a baseball in the eye a few years ago (I was pitcher and the guy hit ball w/ bat and it hit me in the eye) so one eye dilates a little oddly sometimes. Anyways, I'm liking this CRT now so I may just keep it even for a year or two.....
