Super Fast LCD Monitor

Smarthouse Magazine reports that Viewsonic has developed a new LCD display that all but eliminates gaming problems because of slower display response times.

Fast motion, whether from watching DVD video or in 3d interactive gaming can cause blurring on LCD screens causing some dedicated gamers to eschew the flat panel displays in favor of the tried and trusted CRT tubes.

As the LCD industry has responded to this challenge response times, the measure of how fast an LCD crystal can be reset have been steadily marching downward. Now ViewSonic has released a display with a response time that beats its previous models which it claims were already the world's fastest, according to a recent report in Smarthouse.

The latest monitor in the company's VX Series now has response times 33 per cent than the earlier models. The 19-inch VX922 offers two millisecond (ms) average video response time across the entire color scale, says the company.

Typical "fast-response" displays on the market today offer an average grey-to-grey (or intermediate level) response time of 20 to 25ms, says ViewSonic stretching the point a little. And then calculates its new Xtreme LCD line-up as up to 12 times faster.
