Hey all,
I'm in the market for a 17" LCD, and have a couple quick questions. First, I will be using it for design, and not gaming.
Is refresh rate as important if I'm not gaming, and not planning on watching much video/tv? There are a lot of good deals on 25ms screens, but all the talk is 12-15 ms. Any thoughts there?
Second, interface. almost any monitor on sale this weekend is analog. I know digital is a ton better, but again, will it make a big difference in apps other than gaming?
Basically, right now I have a nice 19" NEC flat CRT, and I want to add a 2nd monitor. I'm deciding whether to ditch the CRT and get 2 17" "good" LCDs ($500-ish total), or keep it and get a "great" 17" LCD ($450ish) and then get another down the road when they price drop again.
OK, sorry to ramble. Any thoughts would be great!
Thanks, Richard
