We all need to get together and play something again.  That used to be a blast!

Sounds good to me. Discord is the way to go for voice (I already have a teh server (which you're already in so it turns out I didn't need to mention that)).

I remember back before TFT when there was a clear difference between 60Hz and 85Hz, and it was worth switching down to 16-bit colour to get the higher refresh rate.

(I also remember regularly whipping all your arses at /real/ CS, but I coulda done that with 40Mhz too.)

CRT pixels refresh (pretty much) instantaneously between states whereas TFT pixels kinda fade in and out so the flicker is far less evident.

I thought it was to do with the way they are addressed. A TFT pixel only changes if it needs to (as in, as long as the voltage is applied the pixel is lit), whereas a CRT pixel has to be relit every frame (unless it's black).

I think both are true. And I think CRTs also scan differently...?

LCD would be lit the whole time. Unless the back light flickers to reduce the brightness.

Something to do with persistence of vision in the eyes too. A CRT burns your retina for a shorter amount of time each frame so moving objects don't persist in your eyes as long and are less blurry. I think.

Thanks all

I have a mate coming around on the weekend to get a second opionion whilst I test between the two. I shall report back my findings then.

I am leaning towards the Dell monitor just because it looks so damn good.

Ah, the power of cookies. After reading this thread and checking your two links, Amazon offered to sell me the Dell when I logged into Facebook this morning.

Well I went for the Dell in the end, its rather spashing to play games on AND has I found a cheap monitor arm on Amazon I decided to free my desk of all monitor stands, no idea why I didn't do this years ago.

Now, where did I put that revision time table (checks bin)

​Cheers all

Yeah, I've been using a two-arm desktop clamping stand for a few years as well, it's so much better than having stands... I really wouldn't mind a new monitor to be honest - I've got a couple of 22" 1080 LG IPS thingies, which are honestly fine for me, but the lure of a single ~30" 4K display is so "ooooohhh!"

I know this is mental right. but I have a 30" display and I think my next one might be smaller. Obviously it's great for gaming, but for actual standard desktop use I do find myself having to actually look for things and move my head and that.

Actually, not mental at all.. I find I have to do that with my two 21" screens - so I guess a 27" 4K display would actually be a good "compromise" *cough*.

I don't like working on anything larger than 25" (NJ) as Mike pointed out, I don't want to actually move my head when working on something. It's the same for games, I don't really like playing on massive screens, even if I sit far back from it.

I like to huddle infront of the screen all by my self.
