LCD would be lit the whole time. Unless the back light flickers to reduce the brightness.
Something to do with persistence of vision in the eyes too. A CRT burns your retina for a shorter amount of time each frame so moving objects don't persist in your eyes as long and are less blurry. I think.
Thanks all
I have a mate coming around on the weekend to get a second opionion whilst I test between the two. I shall report back my findings then.
I am leaning towards the Dell monitor just because it looks so damn good.
Ah, the power of cookies. After reading this thread and checking your two links, Amazon offered to sell me the Dell when I logged into Facebook this morning.
Well I went for the Dell in the end, its rather spashing to play games on AND has I found a cheap monitor arm on Amazon I decided to free my desk of all monitor stands, no idea why I didn't do this years ago.
Now, where did I put that revision time table (checks bin)
​Cheers all
Yeah, I've been using a two-arm desktop clamping stand for a few years as well, it's so much better than having stands... I really wouldn't mind a new monitor to be honest - I've got a couple of 22" 1080 LG IPS thingies, which are honestly fine for me, but the lure of a single ~30" 4K display is so "ooooohhh!"
I know this is mental right. but I have a 30" display and I think my next one might be smaller. Obviously it's great for gaming, but for actual standard desktop use I do find myself having to actually look for things and move my head and that.
Actually, not mental at all.. I find I have to do that with my two 21" screens - so I guess a 27" 4K display would actually be a good "compromise" *cough*.
I don't like working on anything larger than 25" (NJ) as Mike pointed out, I don't want to actually move my head when working on something. It's the same for games, I don't really like playing on massive screens, even if I sit far back from it.
I like to huddle infront of the screen all by my self.
