I actually think that at the moment, digital display technology - without
wishing to open up *that* can of worms again - lags behind CRT display
technology, by a significant amount. Next time you go to the cinema, look
up
at the booth window and see if you can see film looping around the
ceiling.
If you can't, then it uses one of those new-fangled DLP video projectors.
Sit back comfortably with your popcorn, and wonder what's happened to your

Many people in their daily use cannot see any lag or
ghosting from 19" and smaller LCD computer monitors.

If you can't actually see it, does it matter if it exists?


Well no, of course not. But I would be surprised if anyone actually couldn't
see it. I prefer to believe that it's a little bit of 'King's New Clothes'
syndrome, and people don't really *want* to see it, having just shelled out
a bunch of their hard-earned, on what they believed was going to be better
than they already had. Even my wife can see it, without any prodding from
me, and she's about as technical as a pound of oranges ...


I can play 50 FPS video or games running at over 50 FPS on a
19" LCD computer monitor and not see any problems except the
obvious lack of contrast (but with CRT I am spoiled in this
respect, having bought Diamondtron tube based monitors for
the last few I used myself before switching to primarily LCD
usage).


Yes, there is the lack of contrast issue, which is not insignificant in
itself. My son plays video games on his PC at high frame rates also. He also
has an expensive HP 4:3 LCD, and whilst it's pretty good at displaying fast
motion, there is, never-the-less, motion blur that wasn't there when he used
CRT monitors. When a pixel represents decimals of a uS, and the time to
switch that pixel is around a mS at best, there must be motion blur created.
