I went from CRT to LCD and I thought games looked better on the LCD.
Samsung 912N.
Ghosting?
I believe it only occurs at low resolutions, because I've never seen ghosting at 1280x1024. Even then, most of my games don't ghost at 1024x768.
The clarity is the best part about an LCD. You will "definitely" notice things are crisper. The colors are much much better too.
I've seen extra details in images that CRTs can't produce.

LCDs use a different technology in their refresh rates. An LCD with 75-85Hz looks 3-4 times crisper than a CRT at 120Hz.
LCDs can also display fine details that CRTs blur out. If your a major graphics artists, you should upgrade to an LCD or Plasma immediately.

I have 2 friends who have been graphic artists for 10+ years and would never recommend an LCD over a good 'ole CRT monitor. They just don't compare when it comes to color reproduction/accuracy.If your a major graphics artists, you should upgrade to an LCD or Plasma immediately.
Plasma screens are a different story but they don't make them [strictly] for PC use. And, I have yet to see a plasma screen that small.
Frankly I wouldn't care for a monitor bigger then the 19" monitor I'm currently using.
But, isn't 19" is large enough for PC use? I mean, how much larger can they get? The manufacturers have already figured this out. Witness the introduction of the widescreen monitor, the newest trend.

My 19' HP LCD is good for gaming, dont see why it would be "horrible".
A while back I remember reading in one of the PC Mags I subscribe to that the testers there were really impressed with the Samsung Syncmaster 9xxT (I can't remember the numbers I think it was 940T or something but the T I'm sure of because its more expensive than the N version). They had it as their top pick in 19" LCD Monitors for several months. At the time it was out of my price range but I'm sure its come down by now ($349 US). It was said that it was great for gaming.
The title of this post "LCD Monitors & DVI Vs VGA " fooled me cause I thought someone would be asking whether to use the DVI or VGA hook up for their LCD monitor. When gaming, an LCD monitor hooked up by the Vga type connector is not as good as using the DVI because your graphics card is digital just as the DVI connection and if you use the VGA connection everything has to be converted to analog before going to the monitor and redigitalized when it gets there or something to that effect.
