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?"

    The question is not "Are LCD displays ready for gaming?", it's "Are you ready to for gaming on an LCD display?"

      If this isn't a Soviet Russia troll then why does "Are you ready to for gaming on an LCD display?" sound suspiciously right when said in a thick Russian accent?

      Try it. It's fun.

    "In a vaguely related topic, does anybody know why DVI cables are so freakin' expensive?"

    I think it's because they are really five billion cables in one: analogue VGA, digital VGA, a few USB, a few firewire,, something like that.
