I'm planning on upgrading from my Samsung 19" CRT monitor to an LCD screen.
I'm trying to decide between a 19" or 17" LCD.
My main concern is that I've read that some of the bigger LCDs around 19" don't do games very well and that ghosting due to lower response times are a problem.
I do a good amount of work on my computer, but I also do a pretty good amount of gaming, mostly Battlefield: Vietnam and Madden among others, and I don't want to feel like I spent the extra cash for a new monitor that works worse than the one I had before when I'm gaming.
Anyhow, the 17" LCDs i've been looking at have response times of 18ms or less while the 19" LCDs seem to average about 25ms. Is a 25ms response times acceptable? Will it seriously affect the quality of the images when gaming?
I would prefer the extra 2", and cost isn't really a major issue, but I'd be willing to go with a17" if the 19" 's gaming quality is significantly inferior.
Anyhow, anyone got any info or advice? I know this is the vidcard section, but I figured this is the best place to get the good info.
Thanks!
