Which Is the best type of monitor to buy for gaming? i hear LCDs are bad and in the past i'v found this to be true.. CTRS are nice and TFTS seem exspensive. Money isnt a problem nor is space for the monitor. any advice? thanks.

Also can any1 point me to a good site which sells monitors to the UK

LCD's aren't quite as good for gaming in image quality, but are nearly as good provided you get one with a good response time, and a native resolution you want to game at. Also remember LCD's last longer, use less electricity, and are easiser on the eyes. So while they may not be quite as good in image quality in games, they have other benefits that can make up for it. Look for a monitor with a 12ms response time or lower. Highly recommend Samsung. Reliable, awesome response times, and very affordable. I was a big critic of LCD's, but after I bought my wife a 19" Samsung LCD and saw what a good LCD can do with a low response time, I will definitely buy an LCD for my next monitor.

The "average" LCD isn't good for gaming & the ones with low refresh rates that ARE good for gaming are expensive. I'm not a bigtime gamer, but I'm sticking with CRT until the LCD prices come down & so do the refresh rates. http://graphics.tomshardware.com/display/20050606/ http://www.d-silence.com/feature.php?id=249 http://www.computing.net/gaming/wwwboard/forum/4053.html Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8.5 x 200MHz 768MB PC3200 2.5-3-3-7 Asus A9550GE/TD 128MB WinME/WinXP Pro

They are more expensive, granted, but... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824001185 Now you must keep in mind a few things... #1. A 19" CRT is actually 18" viewable. A 19" LCD is 19" viewable, so a 19" LCD is "bigger" than a 19" CRT. That justifies some of the cost. #2. The average lifespan of a CRT is less than half of an LCD! You can get a 19" LCD for less than double the price of a 19" CRT, so that alone justifies the cost, and it's bigger to boot. :-) #3. LCD's use far less electricity. Over a 4 year span, a 19" LCD would consume $70 less of electricity if you average 40 hours of on time per week over that time compared to a CRT. A Samsung 19" CRT is $190. LCD is cheaper in the long run! "Pat Buchanan, Bob Novak, and G. Gordon Liddy don't like Mark Felt. Mark Felt is truly a great man."
