TFT Monitors

Hi.

I am currently looking at buying a high-end PC running something like a
128MB Radeon 9800 Pro - primarily for playing games. Many such systems come
with 18" or 19" TFT displays, and I was wondering if somebody could please
advise me on how suitable such displays are for gaming. For example, do
they tend to suffer from lag (i.e. slow refresh, after-image, etc) and is
the resolution compromised. Would I perhaps be better-off spending my money
on a larger CRT monitor?

Thanks for your help.
Simon

Re: TFT Monitors

flat screens are better. If you want to get the best display for games
consider buying a apicture-grille monitor. there are 2 different types
of monitors. Most are shadow mask monitors(many manf.) the ap-grille
monitors are only made by 2 companies,and cost more and come in the
larger sizes. my samsung 1200NF 22" is about $550-600. if you want the
best then get an apicture-grille monitor.

An apature grill type monitor is a CRT, not a TFT.
