About to buy LCD screen but need some help.

[JensYmer]

Hi there

I am currently working on my first cab and is about to buy a LCD flat to place in it. I am quite new to all of this and not that well into specs of screens etc. I was just wondering if there is anything I absolutely should be aware of like does the monitor have to be <12ms etc to run with certain games? I am going to but a 19" screen btw.

Hope someone can help a newbie in need

Thanks in advance

don't plan on using light guns on a lcd

i wouldn't worry too much....if it fits, and will hookup to your rig.....go with it

-Do you want 4:3 or WS?
-Response time is pretty useless information
-Input lag and moving-image artefacts are much more important, and never told in specs.

19 inch non wide screen is not 4:3 either, it is 5:4
19 inch TN panels should not be mount vertical.

The best LCD for vertical classic use is the HP LP 2065 or the Dell 2007FP (non-W model).
These are true 4:3, IPS (wide viewing angle) screens with low input lag and good game response.

Ok, thanks both for the help.

Blanka: I am going to buy a 4:3 screen and thanks, I will look at that screen.

Cheers both again
