Budget LCD Monitor Round-up
An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad has just posted a new 8-monitor budget LCD round-up. It starts off like a traditional review, but their discussion of color accuracy is the best I've ever seen."

Anybody who's into real audio could have told you. After years of horror with CGA/EGA, we finally had a relief with good old analog VGA. Now people are telling you that DVI is the thing, but we know better of course. Don't worry, I'm already working on a nice DVI to analog converter based on radio valves for the real computer lovers.
"When it comes to a great picture there are two elements that come into play. You want the image to be rich in color, constrasty, and sharp. The other element that comes into play is the speed of the LCD and its ability to handle motion."
... and sharpness. The three, the three elements that make a good picture are color, contrast, sharpness, ... and speed. The four, the four elements that make a good picture are color, contrast, sharpness, speed, ... and its ability to handle motion.

You mean they use pr0n images for testing?
Color accuracy is actually extremely important for gaming too. Think about how much time you spend making sure your GPU isn't faking its anisotropic texture filtering.
Easy there Geordi. Maybe I'm just not a "hard core" gamer anymore, but it sounds to me like someone needs to step outside for a reality check.
So you like blurry images.
:)
Be happy, with Longhorn you can apply a gausian blur pixel shader on you whole desktop, than everything will be fina again
HI O WISE PRINCE. WHT TOOK U SO DAM LONG?
so I can buy 3 cheap monitors and have TONS of FPS peripheral vision and GL flying toaster room.
1994 called, they want their flying toasters back.
It's all about where to store the cat.
My cat loves sleeping behind the LCD. Right next to the transformer for extra cat warming action.
When I had a CRT there just wasn't enough desk space for cat storage, and not enough heat generated for cat warming.
It's made the extra cost, loss of resolution and loss of color fidelity all worthwhile!
Sure...but now you can pile stuff behind the monitor. There's a good cubic foot or more of volume that you can fill with anything you want--and it has less gravitational potential energy, so it's less likely to fall and crush you.
