Since we have been getting a lot of requests from
individuals to include some info about game and video performance of LCD's we have begun adding some simple tests; a
few minutes of FPS gaming, and a playback of scene 29 from the Matrix (the one with all the shooting :).
Since we can't really offer any quantitative numbers which relate to the
effectiveness of the 25ms pixel refresh rate this is
all subjective.
Keeping that in mind, it is pretty obvious that hard core FPS gamers will see
LCD displays as blocky or choppy when compared to the CRT standard. Video
playback on the other hand operates at a less intensive frame rate, and in the
case of the Matrix the picture looked quite good, with no ghosting or choppiness
visible.
Synopsis
In recent weeks Samsung
have introduced several new LCD displays which have managed to continuously outperform and outsize.
From our stand point it is getting difficult to continuously compete these different LCD displays
against one another because the differences are all very slight, or nonexistent altogether.
As the 181T and 191T are virtually identical it is worth noting that should
you decide to go for the larger of the two you will not be disappointed. The
191T is one of the first 19" LCD displays we have seen on the market, and is
quite a sight to behold..... it is really going to be hard for Samsung to top
this one unless they decide to come out with a 19" version of their F.A. Porsche
designed monitor!
Do you think this
LCD display is good or bad? Come to the forums and let us know what you think about it.
