I'm thinking about joining the 21st century via Samsung's 275T.
The reviews are almost universally glowing but I'm not certain of some aspects of it relative to my current CRT, a Sony G520.
Firstly, I'm one of those weirdo's who prefers to sit in the dark without any room lighting (when it's night time obviously) but some of what I've read suggest LCD's in general are too bright for this. True or not? As a reference point I'm running my CRT at 8000K with Picture Effect set to Standard. Dynamic is too bright and Professional is too dim.
Secondly, one of the reviews I've read made the point that pixel pitch on a 28" monitor is a little to coarse to the point of being distracting. Is this analogous to running my G520 at 1280 x 1024, which as I'm getting older would actually be good, or with LCD's pixels being physically hard wired would the image actually appear somewhat blocky.
Lastly, I'm still slightly apprehensive about making the jump to LCD with issues such as ghosting and lag. Reviewers seem to have consigned these faults to history but I still have doubts lingereing without actual hands on experience (not just two minutes in a shop).
I'd also like to point out I'm not interested in buying a 30" monitor for the simple reason of the SLI/Crossfire GPU power required to drive one, and associated cost, heat and noise. I expect to be runing a single RV670XT if they perform as is being hinted at.
Any constructive responses are welcome.
