![]() That's because an LCD basically just glows constantly and just changes pixel colours as required, a CRT on the other hand 'paints' an entire frame on the screen, clears the screen, and paints the next frame. TFT/LCD monitors don't 'flicker' like a CRT does, even if they are running at the same low refresh rate (eg. (Or you can use a DVI with a d-sub connector to get a maximum of 75hz) The other issue is that DVI cables don't carry signals > 60hz, that's why you want to use a VGA one with any monitor capable of > 60hz refresh rates (like CRT's). This is because LCD's simply can't 'display' any quicker than about 60-75hz (and therefore FPS), with some rare and expensive exceptions that can supposedly refresh at > 200hz (like my Bravia TV). Going by some of the 'logic' in this thread it might surprise a lot of you that the most cost-effective clearest flicker-free smoothly display can be had with a combination of a high-quality CRT monitor and a good display card with VGA output/cable. Whether or not DVI is > VGA depends on a few things.
