The point is only CRTs have refresh rates. If you see ghosting of the cursor with an LCD, then it has to be its response time.

The Dell 20" LCD has about a 16ms response time. If that's even accurate, it's equivalent to about a 62.5Hz CRT refresh rate, when it comes to moving objects.

As for 100Hz LCD TVs, it just means they are capable of displaying 100 frames per second. That requires a sufficently fast response time (at least 10 ms).

I did notice however, when I switch it to watch TV or anything, the res changes from 1440x900 to 1920x1080 (1080i) and the refresh drops from 75Hz to 30something. Wonder why.

urs is interlace. not progressive

Maybe you should get a high end LCD instead. Hahaha. The dell's panel isn't really that good anyway.

But the thing is Dell is using LG Philip panel, which is basically the same as all the high end LCDs. There's nothing you can do with the response time. Most high end ones concentrate on color accuracy. I'm probably going to buy a color calibrator to solve that problem.

Yup, nothing you can do about the response time. But the response time should improve over time.

Alternatively, you can opt for faster panels like TN panels. They have something like response times of 4 ms to 8 ms, which gives you a CRT-like refresh rate of 125Hz to 250Hz.

I value color accuracy far more than response time, something which CRT excels in both. Give and take.

Anyone interested in this?

Wow.. That's expensive.. and it's only for the Mac.

There's a PC version.

We can always share this among us. Each of us will only use it everytime we buy a new monitor, which is not a lot.

There's one on sale somewhere (me thinks buy.com...)

If you can see ghosting on a 16ms-panel, your eyes
or the panel itself must be "damaged" ... or even both.
