LED or LCD which is better

Post by The Texican-PG- »

Looking into a new monitor purchase and wanted some input.

Which do you think is better?
Is there anything in particular I should be looking for in a monitor?

LED is much brighter and cheaper to run. I have LED and thing it was light years above my LCD but then again there was 5 years apart.

Refresh rate, refresh rate, refresh rate!!! The LCD moniter that I found at a thrift and repaired has a 2 milliSecond refresh rate. It is essential that the moniter be able to keep up with the game and the video card, otherwise you can see ghosting during extreme action on the screen.

Yes I do agree. Generally anything between 2 and 4ms is fast enough to keep ghosting from happening.
