If you're seriously considering the switch to LCD, but hesitant due to the several drawbacks mentioned in the past when using them for gaming etc, PCReview have a very interesting article up which talks of the advancement in LCD technology over the past year or so, also comparing them to the typical characteristics of a CRT monitor. If you weren't tempted before, there's a good chance you will be after reading this.
Many of us have been toying with the idea of switching to LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitors completely but a couple of drawbacks of LCD technology have always come in the way as a hurdle. One being its response time and the other being colour purity. The first is of utmost importance to the gamer and the second to those who work on photo editing software. The gamer needs the monitor to have very fast response time otherwise ghosting effects or in other words trailing effects become evident, which until yesterday had plagued the LCD monitors. Not anymore.
