some of the later Mitsubishi ones with triniton.

you'll have to look on eBay or the like and it's nearly always pick up only cause of the size.

Got a Hitachi CM823F. Runs 800x600 @ 170Hz, 1024x768 @ 144Hz. It's great for quake, but i would swap it for a 120Hz LCD anytime, cos that would be better at everything else.

There are only TN+Film 120Hz LCD monitors atm, so how they could be better for everything else? ;)

viewsonic p90f 19"

120hz at 1024x768

What you want is 125 Hz @ 800x600. Get powerstrip to set a custom Hz to a chosen resolution.

Not interested in idiots who insisted until like 2010? (or still?) that truelightning is cheat and refuse to play on a server where they ping 13 ms more than the enemy.

I've got CRT related question - is playing on >120hz noticably smoother/better?

I think if you can get above 160hz, you will feel it, but it's very slight.

from www.sahibinden.com

second hand selling, like ebay

Turkish people dont know about monitor hertz, they see crt monitors as junk and they are selling em for like 6� - 10� instead of throwing it in trash.

i just checked the cheapest one, it was 6� and it was the best monitor in that website. so i got it following day.
