So I have been testing the hell out of my new monitor for the last few nights. I played some COD2 and it was wonderful. The framerates were pretty fluid at the resolution below 1600 (I forget the number).
Otherwise the gradient stepping is somewhat annoying. Luckily it is just about as bad as the backlighting- meaning it is tolerable.
Since LG's suffer from the same problem (their 21" widescreens), I will stick with my Samsung. NEC's are glossy so I would not even consider one of those- allthough they do produce a great picture.
Now, I just finished testing that input lag which many of you complain about.
Heres a photo showing it:
Basically you cannot see the CRT. This is due to the fact that I used a camera with a shutter speed of 1/1000th of a second. That light bar is the scanline. I timed it just right so the camera caught it. Sorry the photo is so dark. I dont have enough light in my room for a shutter speed that quick! Oh, and yes that is clone mode that the 2 monitors are set to.
I may post some more info later if anyone requests it.
