LCD monitors - what do you think?

I have been playing with the idea of purchasing a LCD monitor. But, the ones
I have seen in operation seem to have a noticeable flicker as the crosshairs
move across the screen.

Do any of you use a LCD monitor and what is your experience?

Thanks

 

Thanks folks.
Looks like LCD monitors may not yet be ready for Autocad.

 

We are now testrunning a couple of Eizo 767 LCD monitors (19") over here,
running autocad 2002.
I get only positive reactions like:
no glare
steady image
bright colors
no tired eyes
etc.

If you want to hit a dog there is always a stick around.
Or, if you want to find something to disapprove on an LCD you will find it
but the same goes for an CRT monitor.
You mention flicker of crosshairs.
When do you see it, when you draw or when you are moving fast across the
screen towards an button er menu?
In the first case, try setting the crosshair to small, not full screen (i've
seen CRT's with crosshairs fullscreen, they also flicker).
In the second case, you already look at the button you like to hit, you
don't watch you crosshairs moving toward it.
Be objective.

Just my 5 cts.

I am not looking for dispproval. In my area most seem to be a little
disappointed in LCD's. I want one but looking for those with positive
experience.

 

I normally use 21" Nokia 445Xi (oldie, I know, but still the ye old goodie)
with 1600x1200 @ 32-bit colors. My new Compaq nw8300 mobile workstation has
a 15" TFT screen with 1600x1200 @ 32-bit colors resolution, too. It looks
even overly crisp compared to analog devices, but both have their advantages
(the older one makes jagged slant lines looking better by antialiasing them
with the built-in fuzzines.

 

JP mentioned probably the biggest reason for going to LCD
No Glare
Longer activity without tired eyes.

If you are an active designer (long days), that is paramount.

Buy and try from a no hassles return policy retailer. (You do know there
are such?) Then YOU make the decision. Use YOUR experience.

OR

If you want it, buy it. It's only money.
There aint no magic bullets.

 

That is a great suggestiong. I would have never "thunk" of it.

 

Right now, I'm looking at my 19" LCD that replaced a 21" CRT. I run multiple

Glad to hear that 19 lcd seems to be working for you!

Im currently using a 21" Dell TUBE monitor...and wanting to go to LCD
as well. But like you Im concerned if 19" in an LCD will be OK since
Im used to 21" tube.

So you are saying that you have no regrets going to a 19" LCD vs a 21"
LCD?

I agree that a 21" LCD price starts getting HIGH! Hence the desire to
go 19" LCD....

 

That's the way tube monitors are supposed to be measured too. The
manufacurers, looking for more sales hype, started BSing.

 

For sure. Monitors of any style should be flat black (except for the
screen)
