Samsung Syncmaster 915n

 

If you are on the lookout for a 19 inch LCD monitor, then consider the Samsung Syncmaster 915n.  Unlike your typical 19 inch LCD monitor, this has an extremely low pixel response time of 8ms which makes this monitor very attractive for gaming.  The previously recently reviewed LG 1980U had a pixel response time of 12ms.  The real question that you may ask is whether there is really a difference between 12 and 8ms.  In general, the answer is 'yes'.  There is a slight difference, that is, if you have a picky eye.

Although pixel response time is important to gamers, we cannot forget the other features that are important to the quality of a monitor.  This includes things like the overall design, contrast ratio, and of course the overall picture quality.  In this review, we will be taking a look at Samsung's newly released Syncmaster 915n LCD monitor Click Here For More...

LG Flatron 1980U LCD Display

 

LCD displays have come a long way.  LCD displays for your computer are more desirable these days because they offer larger screens, are much more affordable, and are more acceptable for gaming.  When gaming with an LCD monitor, one of the issues involves "ghosting".  In general, ghosting is a blurriness of the screen when viewing fast paced images or content on a LCD monitor.  The reason behind this has to do with the pixel response time of a LCD monitor.  The pixel response time basically determines how fast a pixel can be displayed on a screen.  If you have a high pixel response time, then ghosting is prevalent.  On the other hand, a low pixel response time translates to minimal or non-perceived ghosting.  Today, I will be reviewing the LG Flatron 1980U LCD display.  This monitor is ideal for gaming because of it's emphasized low 12ms response time.

If pixel response time was the only important factor when buying a LCD monitor, then all of us would be buying this monitor right away.  It is also important for a LCD display to have good contrast and brightness while still providing a clear and sharp picture.  Also, there are also additional factors which come into play such as extra features included, design, and setup.  The LG Flatron 1980U does deliver screen-wise, but does have an awkward stand.

Samsung Syncmaster 172X LCD Display

 

LCD displays for the computer have come to the point where they are more affordable and are starting to become more common.  Computer manufacturers now provide consumers with the option of choosing a CRT monitor or upgrading to an LCD display.  When comparing LCD displays with CRT monitors, each have their unique features that tend to a user's preference.  LCD displays are much thinner, lighter, and definitely more portable than a CRT monitor.  CRT monitors on the other hand are much heavier, but are much cheaper.
