    Refresh rate

    Dude, what you need to do is go get a friggin new monitor! Look at your damn specs! You got a damn sli configuration that can spit out oodles of framerates, yet your using a piss poor gaming monitor b/c it can only render images at 60 frames per second. That's what i'm saying. LOL!

    Refresh rate

    hence the research... plenty of reviewers of LCD monitors provide a graph for the full specturm response rate for a LCD. The real question is: Is 75 frames per second good enough?

    Refresh rate

    Keetha is incorrect. A LCD DOES refresh otherwise you would not see a new image. Refresh is simply the number of times per second a new image is drawn or requested by the MONITOR. For LCDs the refresh rate can be lower because the screen never goes blank, therefore, no flicker...

    What to do for more longevity for monitors?

    Why LCDs do not make great gaming monitors

    LCD fans, I don't want to make this too ugly, so let me offer what i'm saying from a different angle. A LCD can make a "decent" gaming monitor if the following 3 requirements are met. 1) the lcd must keep its respone time at or below 12 ms over the whole spectrum( grey to greay, black to...

    Review of Samsung LN-R329D: a LCD TV 8ms for Gaming

    i agree... dvi limitaion on the monitor side... not the graphics card side. But again, remember the samsung has d-sub input only with no dvi... and its still refreshing at 60-75hz... and we still are faced with the LCD limitation... make us some LCDs that refresh at 100hz and have 8 ms response...

    Review of Samsung LN-R329D: a LCD TV 8ms for Gaming

    I don't believe its the dvi connections limitations... its simply the manufacturer's giving a lcd's a refresh rate of 60hz... I've used the dvi port to connect my CRT monitor using an adapter... and i got my usual 100hz. Plus, dvi will support 75hz lcd refresh rates as well... so the limitation...

    Review of Samsung LN-R329D: a LCD TV 8ms for Gaming

    I certainly agree, for most computer uses this would be an excellent monitor as long as you stick with native refresh rate. This monitor is even good for many games, just NOT First Person Shooter games. In actuality, i doubt any LCD will be comparable to CRT quality... simply b/c the refresh...
