Hello everyone.... Been quite a while since I have been on here. You guys have always been sooooo helpful.
I am thinking about building a new system for gaming and general use. Play mostly COD online. I currently have and AMD Athlon 2800+ with 1GB ram and an XFX Geforce 6600GT AGP card.
Heres the deal... I decided to get rid of my old crappy 17" crt monitor and take the LCD plunge. Best Buy had the LG L1932TQ Flatron monitor (19") on sale for about $250. DVI input, looked good I thought. Heres where the problem comes in. After hooking it up I found that the reds were WAAYY red. I used the Geforce menu system and adjsted the colors and hue and saturation the best that I could but I am still not too sure about the color. THe other BIG problem that I have is during COD play, it really looks like the the display is fuzzy when I move around. I know that LCDs inheritantly have the blurring or gohsting problem but I figured that a monitor with a 4ms response time would not have that problem. I looked for reviews before purchasing but all I found were user reviews on the model (all were positive).
Would a 17" monitor be better or is this just the way LCDs are? Will I never be happy with a LCD and end up back with CRT? For just doing the web and other medial tasks, this monitor looks great but I do a lot of gaming. Concerned...
What about the Viewsonic VX922 from Newegg? I would like to know though if it is drastically better than this LG or will I not notice a difference? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116375
BTW.. I plan on building a new system in the near future.... probably a AMD 64 X2 (dual core, Yeah I know you know what that is but not sure if I wrote it correctly), 1 or 2 gig ram, Abit KN8 motherboard, 320gb hardrive and maybe a 7950 vid card.
