Finally this morning I could find an almost new VG248QE for only 130 euros including the transport cost! So it's pretty cool. It means I can still buy later a 27" monitor that will be more balanced between picture smoothness and colour accuracy, without killing my purse ;)

Do you know if you can "strobe" or insert black frames in sony vegas to render a 60 fps video? That would be cool also. :mrgreen:

Hi folks!
Just a little update.
You were right, the VG248QE was not a good solution at all. I finally bought a good old CRT monitor, the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514. It's kind of the perfect solution with its 2048x1536 resolution at 85 hz and it's 20" image size. Picture isn't so big (though big enough). The fact that it's not that big is actually a good thing, artefacts or video defects (if any) don't make me sick. I don't see any flicker, the monitor is old so it has difficulties to show a clear text everywhere on the screen, but It don't care as I use it for movies :geek: I really have a clean image on movies. Monitor itself weights a ton though :mrgreen:

Yes, CRT still has a lots of pros for many experiences, especially contrast ratios during good 'ol movies!

Indeed Chief, Contrasts are better than on my Ips monitor, and artefacts, ghosting etc are gone. the quality is so good that I get the feeling that the movie is accelerated while it's not. Just a little issue with colours, the image on the crt had greenish blacks, OSD settings didn't help, I could however ajust the balance of colors in the amd software. The result is nice and accurate enough. So many american movies are shot in the dark. I was watching the man in the high castle, so hard to see anything with my ips monitor, but with the crt it became watchable, you can see more details.
