ChrisH Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 This is for home. I have seen stuff like this This which looks good for the price. I know it's native resolution is 1280x1024 unlike the 1600x whatever of the more expensive ones but I wont be running games at that res so theres not much point. Contrast ration is only 700:1 as compared to 1000:1 of the expensive ones. Any gamers out there like to input anything abou their experiences with TFTs. The response time states 8msec as well which seems to good for a panel of that size as well Cheers Chris
Ric_ Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Neovo and Xerox make the nicest looking IMHO - glass filters. If you don't mind going down-market, Stuart will be able to sort you out with a nice Trinitron/Diamondtron CRT for a handful of punds - I think 19" ones are about £50 but he also has HUGE 21" jobs too. Plus there's all manner of TFTs but I don't like those so I don't ask
ninjabeaver Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 I've gone through all sorts of TFT's. At school here we are experimenting with some class fronted TFT's to stop little fingers drawing pretty patterns from http://www.novatech.co.uk (Contact is Gary Hogg on 02392 322535). Great spec and would be great at home. I've been user Relisys at home, a 17" TFT that's now a year and 1/2 old. Cost about £200 at the time. I've been also buying a lot from http://www.ebuyer.com. Very very good prices. Good choice as well. It all depends on what spec you want.
ChrisH Posted June 30, 2005 Author Posted June 30, 2005 I want a 19inch for gaming at home. I just thought the spec of the one I posted was too good for the price.
ninjabeaver Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 OK, just a quick look through http://www.ebuyer.co.uk 19" GNR 19" Acer 19" Acer 12ms 19" E-Buyer The Search I Did
Geoff Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Remeber the response time rated is only valid for low colour depths. Typically 16bit or even 8bit. If you bump the colour depth up to 24bit or 32bit then the display lag will be an order of magnitude slower. You can quite safely double the response time or more. Clearly this ruins the displays suitability for broadband FPS gaming....
mrtechsystems Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Ninja yeah when have just got a batch of 60 of the TFT with the glass fronts of them I would like your opinon on them thanks I think you pay for what you get really

Highly recomended. We are now putting 6 into a computer suite and see how they last. 17" TFT NovaTech Glass Front
Geoff Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Just out of interest, how many of you have had normal membrane coated TFT's die due to vandalism/abuse/misadventure?
Geoff Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 However, anything under 20ms is ok. Thats about as fast as human reactions get.
ChrisH Posted June 30, 2005 Author Posted June 30, 2005 However, anything under 20ms is ok. Thats about as fast as human reactions get. You havent seen me play FPS games then............................. j/k
Geoff Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Fair enough you need to factor in your network latency too, however most games will compensate for that. OTOH if you really do have fast reactions you might want to consider a career change.
ChrisH Posted June 30, 2005 Author Posted June 30, 2005 As fit and as strong as I am with a 110 kg bench press I also have the weakest back in the world due to a cracked disc so I would never pass the medical .
ChrisH Posted June 30, 2005 Author Posted June 30, 2005 They wouldnt even let my cousin in who is fit as a fiddle just because he broke his ankle when he was 10 or something
RobC Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 I can trump that. I went in fit & came out with a knackered back & shoulder. Never have been told what's actually wrong with it other than it hurts like f%$k.
tarquel Posted June 30, 2005 Posted June 30, 2005 Chris.... Whats ur budget for the TFT 19" for home? http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/74216/lg-flatron-l1950h.html http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/74217/viewsonic-vx924.html http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/72905/acer-al2032wm.html (if u have the money lol) http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/72904/benq-fp91v.html [Just a quick review search on the pcpro site ] Cheers, N.
Geoff Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 I've recently bought a Benq FP937S+ 19" TFT. It got some good reviews.
Ric_ Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 The prices on Ebuyer for Neovo panels seems to have dropped again. The 17" S-17 monitors (amazing to look at!) are dirt cheap! http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=UFNQcm9kdWN0U2VhcmNoUmVzdWx0cw%3D%3D&order_col=cat_desc&stid=5
MkII Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 I was told 16ms is a minimum requirement for running games.
Ric_ Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 It also depends on how the manufacturer is stating their response times - I think Geoff mentioned earlier that there can be discrepencies.
mac_shinobi Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 I would have to go with : http://www.iiyama.co.uk/ They make awesome monitors and TFT's
