We're thinking about getting a decent TFT monitor to replace this 14" CRT.  We only really need one to go to a resolution of 1024*768.

What do I need to know about them before I buy one?  What kind of stats should I be looking at?

We have a NVidia GeForce FX 5200 btw.

Get a low Response time! Anything below 16ms is pretty good.

I saw one at 30ms for just over £100 somewhere, but I had no idea if that was good or not :-)

30ms!!! AVOID, you'd struggle to view any moving image on that...

As I said, anything bellow 16ms is pretty good.

:roflmao:

I suppose I should say that we can only spend up to £200 on it :-(

Then you are looking at a 19" CRT :-)

How good is a Samsung 510N? It's 15" which is what we're looking for too.

--edit--

16ms response too I think.

Hmmm... not a bad unit.

Well you can do a lot better than that:

Look at this LG 17-incher over at ebuyer.com (16ms, great contrast and looks great)

Product id: 65119

It is currently just below £180 quid and it's got some raving customer reviews.

That's the one to go for!!! :-o
