Looking To Purchase A New Monitor. What Should I Be Looking For? All I Know Is Its Going to Be 1080p, Used Only For Gaming And (Hopefully Less Than $700). LED Or LED-LCD (Is There A Difference)? The Salespeople Tell Me Its All The Same 60 Or 120 Refresh Rate? 5ms Or Less (What If This Info Isn't Available?) Could I Really See The Difference Between 6.5ms And 5ms? Any Specific Monitor/Stores Suggestions Are Appreciated. Thanks loocifer Editor Edit: Removed e-mail address so spambots don't harvest it. |

LED is the type of backlighting used - it used to be CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp) but that has been mostly superceded by LEDs as they're less prone to dying, last longer and use less power. Don't generate as much heat, either. I didn't realise they made monitors specifically at those sizes - thought they were all basically televisions. I doubt you'll be able to tell the difference between 5ms and 6.5ms, but the manufacturer specs there are often "best case" scenarios and frequently seem to be figures invented at random. Refresh rate is up to you, to be honest. In terms of 'refresh' it's all pixel response times anyway. 120Hz if you may want to try 3D out. |
