Unbeleivable, but true!
I think I found an LCD I am going to keep!! That's right...you heard it here first!!
This thread has had me researching for the last week and half looking for an LCD I could live with. I've been through a TON of them...priced from $450 to well over $1k. They all sucked for gaming IMO.
Then, above, someone recommended the inexpensive LG 204wt. I went to look at it at the store and it looked crappy. Text and desktop looked awesome, as did "some" gaming. But I fired up a first person shooter and proceeded to walk out the door disappointed.
However, while thumbing through the paper, I saw that my local CC was selling the monitor for an incredible $299. I thought "what the heck" I'll take one home and hook it up to my own system and see what i can get out of it. For that price why not. I can always return it in 14 days at no charge.
Sooooo, I brought it home and hooked it up. As usual desktop looked awesome. Great color production for being only 6 bit. No bleeding at all. No dead pixels. Hmmmmm....not a bad start.
I then fired up BF2 ready to be disappointed. OMFG!!! It looked great!! Ghosting and blurriness were almost undetectable. Unlike previous LCDs I've tried, within one hour of gaming I loved it. Its a keeper!!
To be honest, I was expecting it would take a $1,000 LCD to satsify me. But, nope. It was a inexpensive, no frills, widescreen. Paint me fickle, but I'm now an LCD convert
