Are LCD Displays Ready For Gaming?

Posted by Cliff on from the can-they-handle-the-framerate dept.

Player issues this query: "Since the holiday season is rolling around, I've been contemplating shelling out the big bucks for a nice LCD display. I'm a die-hard gamer, with several choices of monitors in the market today, it can get a little confusing. Ghosting seemed to be a problem with intense games, but with displays reaching 8ms-16ms response time, is it really an issue anymore? Is it time for this gamer to move on to greener pastures, or stay the course with my trusty CRT?"

    If your display has a response time of 25ms, then your maximum framerate is 40fps. Sorry, but I *need* true 60fps or higher for my action games.

    I'm sure it's fine for strategy games, though.
