I haven't really looked for dead pixels on my DS, but I will now that you mentioned them.

LCD monitors are gay.......there's no way I would drop the amount of money needed to buy a good one just for gaming. You can get a 21 inch CRT monitor for very cheap now, and the CRT monitors have faster refresh rates, and the colors are more vibrant.

Wait, don't look. Ignorance is bliss, remember?

I think LCDs are absolutely gorgeus. GBA SP's LCD is great even though it's frontlit. And playing games on my laptop screen through an AV connection is just godly.

I love the flatness of my LCD monitor. If I'd had a CRT of the same size, I'd sit too close to the screen. Much too close for comfort and health.

I've never had any troubles with LCD monitors' refresh rate.

There are LCD Monitor's now that have refresh rates that are much better then when they first came out. Now you can get one that doesn't have the ghosting effect when playing fast based games. Albeit they cost a little more obviously.

Well, glad you guys love your LCDs. I'll drop a few hundred dollars for my CRT monitor, and you can drop a few thousand dollars for your equally impressive LCD monitor. I'll use my extra cash to buy a good gaming machine to utilize the CRT monitor, and you can have an average machine which will play games that look decent on your LCD monitor.

If you crank up games like HL2 to the max resolution, and compare and LCD right next to a CRT, you can see some differences. I know most people wouldn't do that, but whatever. I'm on a limitied budget, so, in my opinion, it would be much more cost efficient to go CRT. =/

Edit: Ignorance is bliss, especially when you don't have money to spend on unnecessary purchases.

Wow wow now cool down KG

We're all happy with our purchases.
I bought my 17" LCD for €270. Before I picked it, I asked a friend if it was fast enough for games and he said it was. I've never had any troubles with it. I like the extra space on my desk.
