I wish I had had the money to get a 512 gtx =)
Thanks for replying to that because I thought this was the best place to post this. I'm glad that the new video cards work with my screen. What is Ghosting?? Why does it happen on this screen?thebleakness said:Sorry, abit off topic but.....
Good to see another Compaq S710 CRT user. :beard: I am using one on 1280 x 1024 and then games 1024x768 with a 7800GT. I get alittle ghosting (not really sure because i cant compare it with anything) but i play FEAR, BF2, Quake4 with it and it looks fine. Use it and when you get enought money for a new screen, buy a new one.
Yes ok that's what I thought it was but if it never happens on a CRT monitor then why did the user thebleakness say it happens on his CRT??Flanker said:Ghosting is an effect that occurs when your display screen doesn't refresh itself fast enough to keep up with the action on-screen. If, in a game, someone runs across your screen, and your monitor can't keep up with their movement, then it will seem like there is a ghost running with them, thus the term.
Ghosting is nonexistent on CRT monitors. It occurs on LCD monitors with a refresh rate of 12ms or higher. No more than a 8ms LCD for me. If it happens, it just ruins the gameplay. Graphics don't look as sharp (unless you're standing still) and its not very quick-action friendly.
