TFT Monitor
« on: February 07, 2005, 12:52:27 PM »
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.

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

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

--edit--

16ms response too I think.

Well, the Samsung 510N 15" with 16ms response is being sold for £190 in Argos, which means I'll be able to find it cheaper elsewhere :-P

Will I still be able to play HL and Diablo on it? :-D

Looks nice :-D

Anybody bought from ebuyer before?  Do they have good customer support (should anything go wrong)?  Do they answer emails too? :-)

--edit--

Ah well, looks like this could be the one :-D

I hope that was just an uninstall of the monitor and not windows.
