said by Jerm:I just bought a Dell 2001fp 20.1" LCD rated at 16ms. This is the most beautiful monitor I have ever seen, and I love the 1600x1200 resolution in Windows.
One problem: I'm picky about my performance, especially in first person shooters. I knew LCDs ghosted, but all the reviews I read suggested 16ms should be fine -
boy were they all wrong. For me, the instant I loaded up BF:V and right away I could tell something was wrong.
So I ended with my 21" CRT and new 20" LCD right next to each other, showing the same image and the problems became clear. The flat panel lags ever so slightly behind, to the point where its hard to identify enemies or pull off the required "twitch" moves in FPS games.
Sad. I was thinking of getting the 2005fp (20" widescreen, 12ms) instead but then I realized its not going to matter - 4ms better won't help, ANY LCD will be more laggy than a CRT.
Just the price you pay for being on the top of your game!
FWIW,
Jerm
Are you using the analog or the digital input? Digital makes a difference.
