It's true- Dan says so.

"It's normal for LCD monitors, whether you're using DVI or VGA input, to have some tens of milliseconds of "input lag", as they buffer the incoming data in their panel driver hardware. This doesn't make the image blur, but it does make LCDs that much slower than a pure analogue monitor to get an image onto the screen. This can affect audio/video sync in movie playback, and make games feel slightly more sluggish too, but not everybody can notice the difference. I'm pretty good at spotting, and being annoyed by, minor lip-sync problems in video; most people don't seem to notice errors below 100ms."

CRTs still rule, but they are hard to find in local stores (not online since I want to see and try them in person) these days. I had to get a LCD monitor and I didn't want to.

Yes... from all those still, colorful pictures I can tell that the OLEDs have much better color and black level than my LCD monitor. Oh wait, I'm watching the video on my LCD monitor. Furniture stores do this all the time too: look at the amazing picture on our TV... on your crappy old TV.

I also used to play Doom shareware on my dad's laptop, until I saved up for my own 486DX266 w. 8MB of RAM and 2MB VESA graphics, bought in September 1994. Played a mean game of Doom2, Alone in the Dark 2, Ecstatica, Tie Fighter, Duke Nukem 3D,

My specs in summer 1998: IBM Aptiva Pentium166 MMX, 64MB RAM, ATI Mach 64, 4MB Diamond Monster Voodoo1, SB Pro, 15" monitor w. built-in speakers.

My current specs: X24400+, 4GBPC3200 @400MHZ, ATI X1950XTX CF edition with X1900XTX in crossfire mode. SB X-fi platinum. 150GB WD Raptor HD. 30" Dell 3007WFP LCD monitor. Logitech Z5500 speakers. Logitech G7 cordless laser mouse. Logitech diNovo cordless RF keyboard.

I have a lot of fun playing BF2, Quake 4, etc..

I'm such a geek. My wishlist for starters:

Two LG L2000C 20" LCD Monitors for my computer.
40" Sony Bravia X-series 1080p LCD TV.
Xbox360 with 4 wireless controllers and a copy of Winning Eleven: Pro Evolution Soccer 2007

What would be really fun is to go back to 1991, and bring a $400 PC and a $650 24" LCD monitor to demo to Steve.

I can't wait to replace my 19" LCD monitor with one of those.

I still use a PC. Last week I bought a new 19" lcd monitor, and I find I get much the same effect.

Parts I never knew existed indeed.
