Master_G said:For gaming i still personally prefer my CRT (im a NOT trying to turn this into a CRT vrs TFT thread, this is just how i feel), i love my 22" Mitsubishi, colours are great, loads of different resolutions for whatever you are doing, just dont intend to move it a lot lol. My mates 22" Iiyama is sweet as well (but mine is black)

Get a CRT for serious gaming, a LCD just isn't good enough yet.
maverik-sg1 said:I have to agree and disagree - CRT's are the best gaming monitors - but the sheer size and weight of a 22" CRT screen is huge - a 20" LCD monitor is lighter, uses less power and has a smaller footprint (using less desk space) and if you get a HDTV unit comes with TV too.
There is no issue gaming on LCD and hasn't been for a while (since 16ms screens came out).
