My choice would be an LCD monitor 'cause they're much easier on the eyes.

LCD for size, CRT for quality. Just my opinion.

LCD for space it takes compared to CRT, the fact max size for CRT seems to be 19inch

It used to be CRT for quality, but now it's definitely LCD for both. LCD pwnz0rz.

@xlibman I have in fact seen a 21" CRT... it was monstrous

I myself still have a CRT, and it's ok... save for the random screen failures I am getting.

CRTs do provide a better screen quality, but are bulky and heavy.
LCDs on the other hand are easier for the eyes and not as heavy and big, but only work good when set to max. resolution, else the OSD has to do interpolation. Which is crap.

So over all, I still like LCDs better. Must get one. Screen slowly failing. help my comp! ^^'

I prefer LCDs, only because that's the kind of monitor that I have, and am very attached to my monitor.

I like LCDs, because all of the CRT's in my house flicker when I turn my dishwasher on, but I like CRT's because they have a higher max resolution, and change that easier.

I guess this is why my pc has 1 LCD monitor and 1 CRT monitor.

uhh.. my lcd is 1680*1050, don't think I'd need higher than that unless I had a 20" screen or something.

Rofl @ dishwasher though.

that must be crazy a game running at 60 fps on 1280x1024 or higher with high details textures

spengo · « **Reply #9 on:** December 01, 2006, 06:44:00 pm »

mm... well cs:s and bf2 and all the shader model 2 games I run at about 1280*1024 or whatever the crap the closest widescreen setting is to that. All the settings maxed except like anti-aliasing and anisropic filtering and that super fancy jazz. Oblivion on the other hand...

Yah, Oblivion takes up all you computer's resources. But if you have your resolution maxed out, it should look pretty good.

I dont have a very powerful vid card, its better than intel extreme graphics 2 cards tho but for example Halo 1 will run at 20 ish fps with everything maxed out, but if ppl come online or if i play campaing mode it start running slower

graywolf · « **Reply #12 on:** December 02, 2006, 07:20:00 am »

So you probably have some nvidia FX or ati radeon

but yah thats kinda slow. maybe you should upgrade...

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #13 on:** December 02, 2006, 07:28:00 am »

ATI Radeon 9250

128 MB actually

but its the max my PCI motherboard support

, when i move to my appartment I'll have more space so I'll get a more powerful PC but just for gaming
