How about using your current one just for those games, and a tft for the rest - you could get a switch to switch between the monitors.

Or play your low res stuff on a tv (if the card has tv out)...

Seems like too much of an opportunity to pass up on myself (getting a tft I mean).

Not enough room on my desk for both monitors. And my TV is knackered, that's why my parents are getting me a new monitor and a TV card.

I use a nice 19" TFT at work, and it's a beauty. At home, the 6 year old CRT is on its last legs, and when it goes it'll definitely be replaced by a TFT (LG L1715S 17" TFT 16ms £150).

It's so much nicer looking at a TFT than a CRT. Especially when you're concentrating, ie writing code and staring gormlessly for inspiration :D

Well my dad has found a 12MS 17" TFT for £180, so I think he may be going for that :)

EDIT: Correction, it was a 19" 12MS LG TFT monitor.

Just went to Comet and got an Acer 19" 16MS TFT, with a max resolution of 1280x1024 and a contrast ratio of 500:1. I cannot believe how big this thing is and the picture quality from it!

I don't understand this whole motion blur thing.

My monitor's response is 50ms and it's fine!

I have seen terrible smearing on LCD TVs playing scaled Xbox though.

Ive never heard of one with such a slow response,what is it?. A 50 ms response equates to a refresh rate of 20 hz very poor indeed,a normal tv is 25 hz

Electrolyte,
I`m considering one of these Acer monitors, just wondering if you have experienced any issues with it or are you still impressed?. I would appreciate any comments before I part with my hard earned cash, thanks.:)

I would recommend it to any one, I have had no problems, the picture quality is fantastic and is very good for games :)
