LCD advice needed.

[TheToE!]

So I've been looking to upgrade from my 19" CRT, this thing has been great but I've had it for 6 years...Anyways, so I jumped at the Acer 22" BB had on sale yesterday but ended up taking it back because of the ghosting in games. So I went looking around a little more at other displays and it seemed like all of them ghosted. So whats the deal, do they all ghost compared to a CRT? Have I been spoiled by my CRT as far as refresh rates go? I thought LCD's had got to the point where they could compete with CRT's for gaming. Can anyone recommend me an LCD for gaming that WILL NOT GHOST?

Thanks in advance!

Ghosting can't be completely eliminated in LCD's, although each generation improves on the previous. In games the best you will get is no visible ghosts, but blurring of the textures especially when you strafe. The fastest monitors atm are the 6ms 20" NEC 20WMGX2, although it is very expensive. Next are the 2ms 20" and 22" panels, although I found the ghosting more noticable on a 2ms 22" TN than on an 8ms P-MVA. My recommendation is to put some crappy old game on a flashdrive and take it to the computer shop to play

Destroid, thanks for the info buddy. Thats kind of what I thought, it seems like every LCD i've seen larger than 19" has ghosted. Does the ghosting become more apparent on larger displays?
