steal said:Well, I just picked one of these up from the local CC. Simply put.. I'm not impressed. After hearing how many people have gone from a CRT to a LCD, and would never go back, I thought I would take the plunge and see for myself. The response time is great, there's no ghosting in games whatsoever, but this is the first LCD i've owned, so coming from a nice trinitron tube, this just isn't gonna cut it for me. Any suggestions for a good 20-22" CRT that will rival my old trinitron?
This is how i kinda feel with my 710T comming from my 19" trinitron. Some things the LCD is better, some things its not as good.
I do agree with the person who said fool around with the settings. I would keep it for 2-3 days. See if you get used to it. But, if you don't worry about space/weight/heat, then keep the trinitron CRT monitor you already had. (it took me a good 4 days to get used to it, and it took me 2 days of trying diffrent settings to get it to look just like my CRT). Funny thing was, with the LCD options alone, i could'nt get it to look like the trinitron. But with my ATI 9200, i was able to go into the advanced settings and change around a few "color" settings. Such as gamma, brightness, and contrast. With all of these settings, i was able to get it to look VERY close to the trinitron. Although text is still smaller. ~_~
Did you install your color profile form the sony CD? and drivers. After all, its not a "plug and play" monitor.
