It seems that on most LCDs I've seen that the near-black colours all become total black and the near white colours become a brilliant bleach white. It's nasty when trying to play counter-strike as you've got no chance of seeing someone in the dark
I play Cstrike just fine with my LCD thank you very much (just ask Hitori)
If you weren't so far away (lag), I'd ask you to play with us.

But anyways, I think some of the LCDs were running out through a analog > DVI converter @ a non-native resolution. Also their response time just sucked anyways. It looked pretty horrible. Though all I had to run was a telnet app. However when trying to scroll a web page,everything would blur, heh. Like high level motion blur was added to it. Ugly =\
Yeah if they don't have native DVI and need a converter, they are lower end. A warning to those who are looking at LCDs and see those cheap ones (under 400 bucks) at Bestbuy, etc....DON'T BUY THOSE. They are ANALOG and NOT digital. They also have a shitty refresh rate (will have ghosting).
I guess I agree with you and Ian to a degree, but I bought a good DVI with refresh rates < 25 ms. With those settings you should be fine and have awesome picture.
. So they're not that great for gaming ;o.
