I currentlly use a herman miller aeron... i dont have many complaints about it. Petty decent set of adjustments, and allows for good number of hours of use without discomfort. The mesh design allows for breathability and prevents heat and perspiration from accumulating. i could use more...
With all the money we throw into our computers, all the time spent tweaking and gaming, what do we spend on the ergonomics of our chair? How much is it worth to you to keep your rump behind for the long haul? Well, let's hear your ideas and solutions for the ideal gaming/computer chair...
Dude, what you need to do is go get a friggin new monitor! Look at your damn specs! You got a damn sli configuration that can spit out oodles of framerates, yet your using a piss poor gaming monitor b/c it can only render images at 60 frames per second.
That's what i'm saying. LOL!
hence the research... plenty of reviewers of LCD monitors provide a graph for the full specturm response rate for a LCD.
The real question is: Is 75 frames per second good enough?
Keetha is incorrect.
A LCD DOES refresh otherwise you would not see a new image. Refresh is simply the number of times per second a new image is drawn or requested by the MONITOR. For LCDs the refresh rate can be lower because the screen never goes blank, therefore, no flicker...
that's really short... crts and lcds last a long time... longer than you'd probably want to use them. Unfortunately the newer crts nowadays are cheap... demand is low and quality has started to drop. Older CRTs were made alot better. As far as life expectany goes, a CRT is usually rated for...
I've had mine for 5 years and i'm still very happy with my w900. The w900 was made for a niche market of cad/cam, graphic artists speicalty group. It's pretty much the largest crt pc monitor around, and close to the highest quality specs ever manufacturered for crt. With a price tag of over...
.. lol... i've explained everything in this post... and now you guys are discovering why refresh rate actually matters. Read this post and you'll understand exactly how refresh rate, respone time, and frames per second are related and how it affects games...
heh, gj mathesar... i bought mine new about 5 years ago... still works perfect. I've babied this thing everywhere I've moved... not a scratch on it. It rox for games... Just seeing it available on ebay makes me wanna buy another one... can you imagine 2? Anyway, I'm gonna hold out for sed...
LCD fans, I don't want to make this too ugly, so let me offer what i'm saying from a different angle.
A LCD can make a "decent" gaming monitor if the following 3 requirements are met.
1) the lcd must keep its respone time at or below 12 ms over the whole spectrum( grey to greay, black to...
The truth behind why refresh rates DO matter
Let's start with a few facts:
LCD
Response time: 4ms-30+ms
Refresh rates: 60-75hz
CRT
Response time: 2ms or less
Refresh rate: 60-160hz (depends on the quality of your monitor and resolution you're using)
Goal of this...
I have the sony 24" monitor... got it brand new 5 yrs ago and haven't regretted it since I plunked down a large wad of cash for it.... I've hooked up the BNC and VGA cables... I didn't notice any significant difference. Oh, BNC is more problematic b/c it is NOT plug n' play... it is a hassle...
i agree... dvi limitaion on the monitor side... not the graphics card side. But again, remember the samsung has d-sub input only with no dvi... and its still refreshing at 60-75hz... and we still are faced with the LCD limitation... make us some LCDs that refresh at 100hz and have 8 ms response...
I don't believe its the dvi connections limitations... its simply the manufacturer's giving a lcd's a refresh rate of 60hz... I've used the dvi port to connect my CRT monitor using an adapter... and i got my usual 100hz. Plus, dvi will support 75hz lcd refresh rates as well... so the limitation...
