Im having trouble finding a LCD monitor that can do 100 hz refresh rate. It doesnt need to be at high resolutions either... im looking for one that does 100 on 800x600 because thats the res i game at. Also one that has a low response time, the lower the better. And preferably $250 or less, i dont really care about size all that much.

Hopefully someone could link me some choices. Thanks in advance.

LCD are limited to 60 hz and when nothing is happening on the screen the refresh rate is 0hz. Any lcd will do cause they all now have low refresh rate. LCD are different from CRT dude you dont need 100hz and besides 82hz on a crt is enuff.

Correct! The only screens that I know that are higher are the High end HDTV with 120hz. But do you really want to spend 2000.00+ for 50" screen?
Plus you'ld have to run the game @ 1920x1080 and only high end gaming rigs will run these resolutions at high frame rates.
So grab a decent 19" monitor and enjoy the crispness of LCD try to stay around the 2ms responce time.

You can get 75Hz LCD panels, but you can not get 100Hz LCD panels. you can get weird 120Hz TV panels, but they are really 60Hz panels with twice the LCD 'fun'.

Besides, the previous poster was right in that the refresh rates in a LCD do not have the same visual results as a CRTs refresh rate changes.

The beam travels in a linear path, there is a fixed time it takes to get from pixel #1 to pixel #1000000 on a CRT, but you can flip an LCD element independent of an activating beam at almost any time.

LCDs use a weird prediction algorithm, basically educated guessing about which pixel might be lit up or not, to simulate the desirable effects of a high refresh rate... preventing ghosting "texture tearing" etc. etc. It's not the same and it looks like crap compared to a CRT, so I know why you are looking for technology that doesn't exist.

look thats fine if they arent made, you answered my question... but dont come here telling me that there is no difference between 60, 85, 100hz, etc...

you can have great fps in a game because thats what your video card is spitting out. however the monitor only can limit what you see. You need your monitor to work in sync with your rig. If you only have your hz at 60/75/85, you will only see 60/75/85 fps... trust me, either research it or go on believing what you believe. Or even go do your own research, go into a game like CS with a 100hz CRT, and then try it with a 60/75/85hz monitor and tell me there isn't a difference. Turn your mouse, realize how much smoother it turns. The gameplay is much smoother because you are seeing it at a true 100fps.

Im not going to lie that the picture is much clearer on LCD's, but refresh rate makes all the difference when you play competitively for money, so thats the simple question i was asking. Is there an LCD that offers 100hz at 800x600... thnx for the answer but i didn't need to be talked down to because i know what i am talking about.

^^^^^^^^^^^^You did n`t mention anything about professional gaming, dickhead.

eeek, nbot using the word refresh rate are we.

the 60z refers to how much the electronics can handle not the panel, that is response time. AFAIK, there is no panel that can output 60hx constant and will constantly change due to the amount of colour or tonal change needed.

AFAIK that is.

also, gab20, your first post made you sound like you were some old timer who was out of touch, post like that and you should expect the sort of basic replies you got, now STFU.

"Refresh Rates" for CRT and LCD monitors do not mean the same thing. Don't confuse one with the other.

Your eye can see a difference from 60Hz to 100Hz? Hmm... guess you have better eyes than me. I don't see a difference from 60 to 75, let alone 100.
