LCD monitors are still pretty expensive for most gamers, and the slow pixel response rate often creates an effect called "ghosting," where images from fast-moving games tend to blur across the screen. Well LG Electronics has made all of that a thing of the past, with its new gaming flat panel monitors featuring 8 millisecond response times and a special chip they call the "fENGINE".
The fENGINE is an actual microchip on the flat panel's internal hardware that monitors the incoming image and then enhances it before displaying it. Colors are made more vibrant, darks darker, and lights lighter, which increases apparent contrast. When the technology was initially being explained to me I was skeptical - I thought a separate piece of hardware processing the image after a high-end video card had already gotten to it would slow down games. That simply wasn't the case; one of LG's Directors, Kim Way, enabled and disabled the fENGINE chip while I was watching an intensive ATI graphics card demo and then playing Unreal Tournament 2004 and Far Cry. There wasn't even a hiccup, only a dramatic increase in visual quality that isn't done justice by the split-view screenshot below.
