Haha man i just got lucky.
Someone in my workplace threw away an iiyama vision master pro 454, and I took it for free. They used it carefully so there's no scratch or anything. It's around 4 years old, so at least I can use it for another good 5 years I hope.
A n1ce day : )
Ja, I agree.
IMO, a 75Hz IPS panel monitor is much more suitable for a causal gamer. 60Hz, well, it's alright too.
Unless you are really serious about gaming (I mean really competitive gaming, such as online CS/Quake tourneys - remember, at lan parties you probably have to use the 75/60Hz LCDs...
Well if your computer can only run games at 60 fps then 120Hz is not that useful.
Tbh if you are not THAT serious on gaming (like playing game to win some money) you don't really need 120Hz. 120Hz is indeed awesome because of the smoothness. I tried it at my friend's house and fall in love with...
Tha answer is in your question already, "used" trinitron. : <
First, I want brand new monitor, which then works like 7-10 years. Most importantly, my wife forbids me buying second hand monitor for my new desktop.
Second, used CRTs always have some problems (high frequency sounds, scratched...
Who cares the whatever backlight bleeding thing, I just want a 0 input lag 120Hz monitor for gaming. As long as it can display my enemy clearly at 640*480 it's fine. All these 120Hz LCDs are too expensive and too big, 17 inch is more than enough to play. FFS why people don't produce CRT anymore...
Depends on what kind of games you play IMO.
For fast paced games (e.g. Quake) you'd better go for low input lag and 75+ Hz ones (0 input lag + 120Hz best apparently). For turn-based games, RPGs, and strategic games etc., picture quality goes first.
