For about $200.. I sure think it is. What about you guys?

i guess it depends what you want in a monitor.
I still prefer CRT's.
generally you can get a high-quality, larger-size CRT for teh same price as a low-quality, smaller-size LCD.
and you'll still get some ghosting & such with most LCD's with gaming.
unless space is really really really an issue.

I got this one a couple weeks ago, and couldn't be happier with it

i think the opposite - i think LCDs have better image quality: sharper image and higher contrast. Also because the cabinet is much smaller it makes the actual screen bigger a 17" CRT has only a slightly bigger screen than a 15" LCD

personally, i don't think ghosting is really a problem, you kinda get used to it, even with 25ms monitors

as for that specific monitor i would be worried about their dead pixel policy

even with 25ms monitors

And the monitor in question has 12ms :shifty:

I would def. get that monitor.

Same here Singa. LCD's are way better than CRT's . CRT's just take up too much space! I definetely notice better quality in lcd than big monitors. That Acer moniter is good :)

I don't see a problem with the monitor.

But I agree with Sparsely, I have the same monitor as him (mine is the 17" version though) and I love it. :)

There is one thing with LCD monitors though.. they don't have unlimited colors O_O
