I want to buy a TFT monitor.
I’ll be using it mainly for games, 3D PC games & 2D emulators.
At the moment I’m using a 17” EIZO CRT F55S.
When I play 2D Emu games, MAME, NEOGEO, Capcom, SNES, genesis, etc…which are at 60FPS, I have to set the display at 120HZ or else the video will appear dithering & there will be jerky, tearing effects in horizontal scrolling. (Example: the Intro in Super Contra III, the horizontal scrolling letters “Alien Wars” are jerky)
I noticed that most TFT monitor’s refresh rate don’t go over 75HZ so is there going to be dithering & tearing in the video display when I play games in MAME & other 2D games at 60FPS?
Also the response time in TFTs is considerably larger than CRT monitors (12-25ms)
Will that also degrade 2D & 3D gaming experience?
How about this:
EIZO 17'' L550

Or this:

) but hey Id do it again! I see all these ppl with 6800/X800 shouting about their 17inch LG with 16ms response and max res of 1280 and I think its quite funny, they are really missing out, HL2 @ 1600x1200 Full quality settings, 50-150fps on 21inch monitor is pretty damn amazing even for someone who thinks he's seen it all! Me
but there are probably more games where the effects are negligible and (in my humble opinon) outweighed by extra realestate!! Phew.
