Blur Busters Forums

I've been using a CRT for 10 years and it's great in all aspects, except for one problem, which is that I've sort of out-grown the 19in UXGA screen area.

What I need is a screen with the same image-motion-quality, just larger. Doesn't matter what kind.

The only WUXGA screen with over 60hz I've found is the 85hz Philips Brilliance 240P4QPYE, but I guess that will have tons of blur.

If blur can be eliminated with strobe backlight, and I generally don't run my games at more than 60fps, is there even any point in getting more than 60hz though?

try to find yourself an FW900

Are you looking for another CRT? Or a monitor with a strobed backlight that can strobe at 60hz refresh rate (single strobe) along with all the 60hzh flicker goodness?

Wow, that's a sweet monitor. I wonder if I can find one in Europe.

It's true that I do see the flicker when running CRT at 60hz. I guess my minimum specs would be 85hz+ WUXGA with CRT-persistence then.

CRT or flatscreen doesn't matter, as long as it has the right image quality.

I see.
Give this monitor a try, then.

It's currently on sale and in stock. I use it myself and I was one of the people who REFUSED to stop using CRT's until the last CRT I had, a P1130, died a flyback arcing transformer death.

And check my forum thread carefully on how to make it the most CRT like (note: it's impossible to remove ALL crosstalk on a LCD due to pixel persistence issues. That can only be done on a strobed OLED and they don't yet exist).

Yes, I have a few of them and they are utterly phenomenal, especially when properly calibrated. See my trinitron WPB guide here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1830788.

There's also a 10 year thread dedicated to the FW900 here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=952788

One thing you can do is set up a google alert for "FW900".

Maybe I should just get VR and do all my gaming on that then.
