TFT/LCD monitors & 2D Games...
I want to buy a TFT monitor.
Iâll be using it mainly for games, 3D PC games & 2D emulators.
At the moment Iâm using a 17â EIZO CRT F55S.
When I play 2D Emu games, MAME, NEOGEO, Capcom, SNES, genesis, etcâ¦which are at 60FPS, I have to set the display at 120HZ or else the video will appear dithering & there will be jerky, tearing effects in horizontal scrolling. (Example: the Intro in Super Contra III, the horizontal scrolling letters âAlien Warsâ are jerky at 75HZ)
But at 120HZ everything is smooth.
I noticed that most TFT monitorâs refresh rate donât go over 75HZ so is there going to be dithering & tearing in the video display when I play games in MAME & other 2D games at 60FPS?
Also the response time in TFTs is considerably larger than CRT monitors (12-25ms)
Will that also degrade 2D & 3D gaming experience?
How about this:
EIZO 17'' L550
