advice on LCD monitor

[palaiyot]

I am planning to buy this new samsung 19inch LCD monitor and replace my samsung crt monitor, would there be any difference when I play hardcore games like oblivion or company of heroes? I have a geforce fx5500 vidcard and I want to know if an LCD can function same with my old CRT monitor

Just get the fastest response time you can find. I'm pleased with mine(7ms) but such a speed is considered slow now... Oh, and you may wish to upgrade your video card. Unless you're running the LCD at it's max resolution, the screen looks rather fuzzy and appears to ghost more.

may I ask for any suggested models? which is better AOC or Samsung?

For a 19" samsung, try and get your hands on the 940BW. I have it myself, and it is a fantastic monitor, with a 2ms response time, which will be perfect for oblivion. IMO it's a great monitor and you won't be disappointed.

only 2ms? The_Other_One said its better to have higher response time.

Think about it. Higher response time means it takes loooooooooonger. So 2ms is great.

ok I got it, so I must choose the slowest response time, this means 2ms is the best out there.

2ms is not slow. It is fast. "ms" stands for "millisecond". So the lower the number the faster. not slower.
