TFT = LCD yes. I know that CRT monitors are faster for gaming, but I like LCD too much...
I'll probably order it within a few weeks. I still don't know if I should get a P4 or AMD... Lot's of people say that AMD get too hot...

well AMD's do run hotter. you will prolly have to put 1 to 2 extra fans in the case for the computer.


And for the screen.... i dunno man. id use the one you have or buy a flat display CRT, games suck on a LCD, you can see things blur when theres fast movement on the screen... like for a FPS game, you turn quickly. your going to see every thing on the screen kinda blue as you turn.

LCD's are better for Text. yanno. if you kept the screen you have. saved the money that you woudla bought a LCD with, and when a better type comes out get that instead...... you know they are going to start making Plasma screen monitors sooner or later.

Well, my dad already has a LCD screen, and it works perfectly for games. I think it's even more practical than our last monitor, that one was so huge, there was barely room for your hands on the keyboard...

well if ya cant notice the poor refresh rate, go for it i guess. i myself cant stand it while playing UT or a FPS game. game like warcraft less noticeable.

but i just cant help but think you'll be kicking yourself when the better monitors come out.
