Ya All know that response time is as accurate a marketing tool as the good
old diagonal measurement of CRTs in the 90's right? there is grey to grey or on and of response times, and thes can be manipulated by vendors to suit whatever they want you to think, it seems. I read where a good 16ms on one panel is better than 4ms on others now that they all lie anyway. Back in the 80's and 90's we had a saying about the computer industry... "What is the difference between a car salesman and a computer salesman?" Answer: "the Car salesman knows he is lying to you" redTed enlightened us with: >>>> I know there are guys who used to post here, have money to burn, >>>> sure hope they try it and post back <G> >>> >>> According to their UK reseller: "Anticipated list price £9,750 exc >>> delivery and VAT"... >>> >>> Ouch! >> And 16ms response wont cut it for gaming > > Of course it will.

Couldn't agree with you more, if you are really worried about fast response times then actually get infront of the monitor and test it. Comparing a single number from a website is totally pointless, there are far too many ways they can wangle out any number they like for the "response time". |

Personally I look for sharp contrast ratios along with low response times. Then a demo of the actual monitor if possible. Sometimes the supplied tech stats are all you can use to make up your mind. Especially when ordering stuff over the 'net. If, and I'm sure you are right, sales ppl twist figures to suit, who the **** knows what we're being sold ? |

I don't agree it does a better job, but certainly better value! The advantage of three screen gaming is it allows you to look left and right whilst still retaining your peripheral view straight ahead as in real life. Similarly it allows the right and left views to sit in your peripheral vision. I am sure it varies from person to person but I simply can't cope with any form of variable view in front of me - including look to apex type views. I need the real life fixed view of straight ahead and then the ability to have additional rather than alternative views right and left. I guess it maybe because I have been sim racing for over 15 years and you know what they say about teaching old dogs new tricks... Cheers Tony |
