they re using crts or that new 120hz viewsonics

stermys got iiyama $$$$$ crt

everything will do as long as its capable of 120hz+ refresh rate

I used to think this... but lately I've been playing on a Samsung SyncMaster 2233. It's actually quite good and has little/no input delay (as far as I can tell). And I used to believe that I could not play on anything *except* CRT with 120hz.

On a related note, my eyes used to get really dried out/irritated from playing on a CRT at 120hz. But my eyes feel much better looking at an LCD.

how abount crt @ 170 hz? =) the're really cheap to get used you know

cooller plays without monitor

replace cooller with rapha and it would have been [ + ] worthy.
too bad.

i plussed him anyways BITCH

quality post from austrailia

fuck yeah quality post Also from Doom/Quake Land (tUr picture place)

he's playing at 60hz laptop so ye that's the same

That at least explains why he keeps losing.

yeah that or the joystick and pedals he plays with

I know stermy uses the Samsung 2233RZ and Av3k uses a CRT.

lmao @ gotfrag

steelseries 5h , thats more then enought for home.
and get LCD WITH 120 hz, viewsonic or samsung.

rapha uses a lcd monitor at home afaik, he has been using lcd since around 2006, cause he complained, earlier he used to use crt but got surprised at some tournament since all monitors were lcd.

jesus guides rapha's hands to victory without the need of a monitor

projectors ftw? :/

Too much lag from projector to wall.

yeah since light is so slow nowadays

Indeed, I can't understand why they don't use the old style light that was really fast :/

Cooller is faster than light!

That's just the nasty rumour around the working girls in Moscow.

thats why stermy plays so close to the screen

I expected better from a German.

Speed of light > all

wow.

after cooller's brain speed

fking lol :)

I hear Razer are creating a new uber light projector for gamers (although it'll get worn out after a while and you have 2 replace it of course, damn air wear)

he is a God fearing patriot so he surely uses some American brand like Lenovo, Asus or LG

oh it is funny because none of them are

high five!

they use ipod touch

Teach me how to hook it up to my mouse and keyboard this sounds like a good idea.

motion detector for teh movez,
and click on screen to shoot :S

he uses age of empires 3 monitor

copy and paste from other thread because i think its useful to people looking for monitors:



for the sake of argument, would you consider this the best feasible gaming monitor?

24 inch widescreen so you still get the aspect ration/fov advantage, which was lcd's only edge in terms of gaming.


edit: also if youre looking for a lcd to buy, check out digitalversus:

if you compare two lcd monitors, underneath check all the categories under 'Choose a test'. The most useful imo is 'input lag vs a crt', since this is a spec that manufacturers dont list or test. Some lcds made specifically for gaming dont fare too well.

The selection of monitors is pretty narrow and they dont update it often, but its still nice.
Ive looked through lots of these in my quest to get a decent lcd on the cheap.

Another commonly overlooked gaming stat is the 'dot pitch'. Wikipedia it if you care to, but you should definitely shoot for <=.27


TLDR:

crt is obviously the best, but if you need an lcd id start with viewsonic since they have the lowest input lag on average, and then narrow it down with the typical listed specs (<=5ms response, minimum 75hz, preferred screen size, <=.27 dot pitch)
