A good LCD with a low response time, and a decent contrast ratio is better than a CRT.

ViewSonic VA902 (19", 8 ms) or
ViewSonic VX922 (19", 2 ms) or

Samsung SyncMaster 930BF (19", 8 ms) or
this one: Samsung SyncMaster 940BF (19", 2 ms) <--- this would be my choice exept that it has nice price tag on it...

the vx922 is more expensive than the samsung. So im looking for a low response time for games then. Would i see much difference between 8ms, 4ms and 2ms???
