Hey guys need some help here. im having a dilema:puzzled: about which display solution should i buy. before i was thinking of buying a CRT monitor because i know that they are good when it comes to gaming. but now there are LCD monitors that are also good for gaming. they said that if you want a good gaming LCD monitor it should have a fast video response or else it will have this ghosting image effect. well i dont know how fast is the video response of a CRT monitor. but i was able to find what i think is a good gaming LCD well not only for gaming but also for the budget hehehe. it has 8ms video response and it is from viewSonic. check out the link: [http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/valueseries/va1703wb/](http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/valueseries/va1703wb/)

and this is the other one which is the widescreen version: [http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/valueseries/va712b/](http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/valueseries/va712b/)

as for the CRT: [http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/crtmonitors/e2series/e70fplussb/](http://viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/crtmonitors/e2series/e70fplussb/)
