they help, but they are not absolutes when determining whats your best choice. Keep in mind dell and HP monitors are made by Samsung. Checking out monitors in a store may not be the best way because people play with settings. Check reviews online for the best resource of which are good monitors. I had an hp, dell, samsung, they are very brilliant. Make sure your lcd monitor has a DVI input. otherwise you will not be able to take advantage of digital outputs from good video cards. The White connector with lots of holes is the DVI. The blue one is vga, its analog, and will NOT reproduce crystal clear images. If you have a money tree in your back yard, apple cinema displays are failproof monitors, brilliant, with firewire and usb ports as well.

Sony is the best, I am using a dell and it is also great.

It depends on what type of tv it is.  For example, the 32" LCD tv in the link below displays 1,049,088 (1366x768), or just over 1 Mega pixel (1 million pixels).  However, a normal CRT tv would have a lower resolution.  Unfortunately, they do not list the resolution for their CRT tv's on their website for some reason.

An IBM monitor is the best bet.

You are right to check the ratings.  Consider the LCD Monitors at NewEgg.  They show ratings from customers.   Visit http://www.newegg.com and use the Search feature to find LCD MONITOR.\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Yeah get LCD for your computer monitor, don't even know if they make LED computer monitors.  And for cost, here is a good website to buy one: http://www.newegg.com/ and if I may recommend, buy one of the Tyris monitors, I just purchased one and the quality for the price is truly amazing.

There's a reason the articles you're finding are out of date. It's because a few years ago you're average video response time for liquid crystal displays was somewhere around 16 ms and up. This is slow enough to make a difference in high speed first person shooters competing with people who can hit head-shots while "bunny-hopping."\n\nHowever, even if there was a difference with that kind of response time, that all has changed. This is because almost every LCD monitor on the market has a response time of 8 ms and under. So if there's any doubt in your mind an LCD screen might not have the performance you're looking for, I give you my guarantee that if you buy one with a 4 ms response time you'll be very satisfied (and probably wondering why you didn't buy one earlier).\n\nThe best part is that there's very little difference in price between 8 ms models and 4 ms. This is because almost no one can notice the difference.\n \nHope this helps!\n\n\noops. . . \n\nThe answer above is not appropriate to the question. I misinterpreted the question at first. I won't take back the comments on response time. But I'm forced to add that the best screen for gaming is going to be dependant on the system you have. If your system is optimized for high definition content (pc, xbox 360 or ps 3) then I would go for a hd plasma. You'll get more size for the money, better color and darker darks. LCD screens are expensive and can be affected by response time or "ghosting" depending on the brand (unless size isn't as much an issue and you want a computer gaming monitor).\n\nIf you have a ps2, gamecube, xbox or picture quality isn't of the utmost importance choose an Enhanced definition plasma and shave 1000 dollars off a screen 42 inches or larger. That's the difference between HD and ED as far as price. And unless you have high definition content, you won't see any difference at all.\n\nIf I had 1000 dollars for a television I would choose a screen from panasonic, it would be ED (and no one would ever know) and I would have great screen size, clarity, vivacity and resolution for about half the price of HD plasma and 10 or more inches of screen than the similar priced LCD tv.

Conserves energy, supports very high resolutions, portable, sexy.\n\nNote: Viewing angle is still a trouble..... you don't have that problem in CRT monitors. The picture becomes negetive & colour changes when we increase the viewing angle of a TFT screen.

A high resolution with dimmed contrast settings. Flat panel monitors are not easier to read on then CRT's either as most people like to believe. I did a survey for people where I work about getting headaches and eye strain from reading on a monitor. You should also get a plastic shield to go over the front. Some people have told me constant staring at a monitor has made it difficult for them to read because books do not have bright back lighting behind the text.

The problem with most current LCD technology is that the chrominance isn't as good as with traditional CRT-based monitors. There are some LCD ones just coming out that have full-color backlight which should make them actually _better_ than CRTs (according to some Wired article I read, anyhow.)\n\nPersonally, I've been pretty happy with the Dell 24xx monitors - they're under $1k, they have a multitude of inputs, and I think I've only got one stuck pixel (and no dead ones.) You're still going to have to color-correct anyway, but you'd have to do that on _any_ monitor you get. (A good gamma correction curve will solve a multitude of ills.)

NEC are really good monitors.  They actually build the Pioneer Elites that everyone talks about.  They build them at their plant, and put the Pioneer Elite label on them.  I think that they may be one of the better displays out there.  The technology is so good now though, that ALMOST all displays are good.  Please note the almost in that last sentence.

Any LCD with a low response time, preferably 8ms, but definitely not slower than 12ms.  Oops, almost forgot, you'll want one that has an input that's compatible with your computer's video output.  That of course is going to depend on your video card/onboard video.  You'll have these choices, both on your computer and tv: DVI, HDTV,VGA, S-video, and composite video, in descending order of picture quality.

Typically, brightness is not a concern with CRT monitors. LCD monitors are backlit and have different levels of brightness. The brightness rating for an LCD monitor is commonly referred to as 'nits', and commonly range from 70 to 250 nits. The higher the nits, the brighter the display.

Howstuffworks compares CRT's with LED Jumbo TV screens.  Worth a check.  Good luck.
