Im currently using CRT's because I'm a PQ whore. My current CRT is dead so I tried the Viewsonic VX922. The PQ was a joke and I was able to get newegg to refund me. Is there any LCD's that have good PQ and is still good for gaming? I only need a 19" 4:3. Deep blacks and vivid colors are a must.
 
After reading more posts I was thinking about just grabing the NEC MultiSync FE2111SB-BK everyone keeps talking about. Still interested if theres a comparable LCD though.
 
Depends what you mean by PQ. LCD can do brightness, sharpness, vivid colors and geometry.

If you try to use an LCD in a low light environment, you'll see that even the top LCD's fail miserably when it comes to deep blacks and producing detail in colors close to black.

If you're spoiled by a quality CRT, then you'll only want to consider S-IPS type LCD displays as they do not have the viewing angle and color issues of the other panel types.

As a gamer, I play a lot of FPS and dungeon crawler games with the lights out. LCD's are terrible for this. Every game I play (and I play a lot of them), except for RTS games, benefit from a good black level.
