Tired, and going to bed.

Also, excited, just bought another new monitor. ( 17" LCD 16ms Responce time... droooolll... )

Say · July 13, 2004, 05:57:09 AM

Ok... right now I am secretly envying grundy's new monitor...

koko_99_2001 · July 13, 2004, 06:03:32 AM

I'm sure I'd be secretly envying grundy's new monitor too, if I knew enough about computers to know what he was talking about and to know that I needed to envy it!

Say · July 13, 2004, 06:14:28 AM

it's big, new and looks pretty...

hahaha

koko_99_2001 · July 13, 2004, 06:24:10 AM

lol...I'd be green with envy, I guess...but I like my monitor...no, I have no clue the specifications of it...but it's a flat monitor!

(how uneducated do I sound??)

You could rock our worlds when it came to speech therapy.

Ignorance isn't a problem, per se. It's having a closed mind, poor attitude, and an unwilliness to learn. You don't have those nasty traits, Cat. So don't sweat it.

I knew that CRT refresh rates were in Hz... I just didn't remember if LCDs were the same. And yeah, 60 Hz is pretty icky... unfortunately that's what I'm stuck with at work. The reason I upgraded my home monitor was because eventually my eyes just couldn't hack the 65 Hz rate of my old monitor anymore... now I have one at home with 85 Hz... yay!

Peace & Luv, Liz

Johnmichael · July 13, 2004, 06:12:37 PM

Getting ready to go out i dont even know where im going, but I have to leave and do something.

Grundy · July 14, 2004, 01:41:49 AM

The 16ms responce time has to do with the speed that the individual pixels open, close and twist to let more or less light go through.
The actual refresh rate is about 70Hz, but since LCD's don't have any flickering, even 60Hz is great on an LCD.

My other 2 LCD's which are 25ms produce some 'ghosting' when there is fast moving objects on screen, say, with a video game or DVD playing.

But the 16ms responce time eliminates this problem, in turn, getting rid of the ONLY thing with LCD's that CRT's could do better.

So, R.I.P. CRT's!

Just checked, my 25ms LCD is at a refresh rate of 75Hz.
( They are unrealated yonkey, so 16ms doesn't = 63Hz.

)
If you understand LCD technology and how each physical pixel works, then you can understand why responce time is so important.

Well, you should all be green with envy by now!

CRTs aren't going to go bye-bye until LCDs drop a couple hundred in price. I dunno what they cost in Australia, but here in the US, good LCDs are still in the $500+ USD range. (You can get a cheap LCD for around $400, but... well... it'll be a cheap LCD.) Whereas a good CRT is around $300.
