Viewsonic to release next quarter a couple of 4ms LCd's. Of course they will release only 17 inchers at first, but we are getting close to the 1ms "Holy Grail" of an CRT.

how do you tell what your current response time is on a moniter. never thought about that effecting aim and response.

Thats a good question. Not sure. I have never seen it discussed as a problem in that respect, just the usual "smearing" or "ghosting" issues that 16ms LCD's and above are known for.

My CRT died a few weeks ago, I purchased a 19 inch, 16 ms response time LCD. The ghosting isn't too bad, but the native resolution SUCKS. LCDs only look their best at native resolution and most 19 inch LCDs (as far as I can tell) are 1280x1024, so you're kinda locked into playing at that resolution. I think I'll keep this LCD but I think I'm going to fix my old CRT monitor as well. There is just no beating a CRT at this point.

good info, i use a 17 inch lcd now and all the gamers that have been to my house have no idea how I play on it. I don't know any difference so It never has bothered me, maybe one of these new monitors will clear things up a bit:)
