I currently have a samsung 204b, and it's a very decent monitor. But my monitor blurs a lot when things move at a medium pace across the screen. I'm assuming this is the response time. When my monitor is next to a CRT playing the same game, the CRT looks like the fps is way higher because it doesn't blur. The "internet" says refresh rates don't exist on LCD's. So I guess my question is: Will getting a faster response time on a monitor reduce the blur? or will all lcd's blur forever because they run at 60hz? I want the closest to CRT quality in refreshness as I can get on an LCD.
 
Well because lcd's are what they are, they will always blur.
Even zero second response time lcd's, when/if they come out with them, will still blur. its just the nature of the beast.
plus with an lcd, you're kind of capped @60fps anyway or you get horrible screen tearing.

if you have a crt for gaming, use it at least for that. there is currently nothing better still.
 
It doesn't blur because it's 60Hz, it blurs because it's not fast enough to keep up with the 60Hz completely. That's why I don't understand when people say they want 120Hz monitors.. if that happened, the crystals would be too slow, especially when there is motion that goes from one color extreme to another.
 
I'm really torn, because the brightness and color on LCD's are amazing. That alone makes me not really want a CRT again. Plus CRT's are still too expensive. Considering I would want a 21-22".
 
If you can find one of the new 100/120Hz LCD TVs it should make you happier.
They are still 60Hz input but are fast enough to introduce another frame between displayed frames to blank the screen or perform other ways of reducing Ghosting.
The effect for gaming is reported to be very good.

All LCD based on Active Matrix will blur regardless of the low RT.
