[punkboy459]

[xofunky]

1280*1024 on 19" lcd all on high 2x AA looks supercool

[abtomat74]

Doesn't matter what you "believe"...facts are facts.

Currently LCD's do not produce the same picture quality as a CRT...they are getting better, but are not equal...yet.

LCD's are also prone to ghosting, though again this is being improved upon.

There are other differences, but the only one that makes LCD's better(right now), is the amount of space the footprint takes up.

lcds are getting better...but most of them have this "ghosting" effect where everyting that moves sortof leaves a short trail. its not that good, but using DVI helps or getting a faster lcd monitor will help

btw i run at 800x600

[Venomous]

all maxed out

[Eternal-Souljah]

I don't have a ghosting effect and never have.

LCD's own. I have a 19'' TFT. BF2 running at 1280x1024.

The reason people say CRT are beter is because CRT monitors have a higher refresh rate then LCD's do. But I really havent seen the dif between the 2.

1280x1024, all high, 19" LCD Fuji Siemens

1280X1024 on high but no AA (no use to put it on at that resolution.)
can run it on 1600x??? and 4xAA but than my frames drop to 15 :D

[kingyuk]

yeah I know what you guys mean by ghosting but its not a bad thing I think my 17inch lcd looks the dogs bollox :) compared to my old crt 17 incher. Lcds are all round better, sharper image quality nice and slim and look really nice :) compared to bulky crts

[Typh00n]

true dat. my sister's comp use to use a crt and we had to oepn the drawer on the desk to put the key board in since the crt monitor took up all the space

[Mo0by]

800x600 FTW!

What does changing the Screen Resolution in BF2 do and what are the effects on the computer?

Changing the resolution just changes how many pixels are crammed in a square inch (correct me if im wrong). So basically, raising resolution make the video card put out more pixels, thus making it work harder and get rid of jaggies.

I run at 1280x1024 in bf2 and most other games. Some games i run at 1600x1200 (i.e. source games w/o hdr)

And way to lie punkboy. saying that u run 1280x1024 when its really 800x600 @ 5 fps. I dont think i speak for my when i say "pffft noob" Maybe you should just leave and never come back. Or we could start an online petition to ban you. Or well tell ur mommy that you said a bad word on the forums and ull get timeout.

That's not it, from what I've heard, the refresh rates don't matter nearly as much to LCD's as they do to CRT's.

The main argument in favor of CRT's has been that the colors are more realistic. LCD's have too much color sometimes...not accurately portrayed.

I will not say LCD's look bad, just that they currently are not "quite" as good as CRT's. The possible exceptions will be extremely expensive LCD's.

well now i run it at 1920x1200 (widescreen hack) and i love it

Correct on the LCD refresh rates. 75Hz on a CRT means the entire displayed image gets redrawn 75times per second, top to bottom. LCD's don't have to do this as their displays are dynamic.

People mentioning ghosting act like we are still in 1998 or something, LCDs have come along way since then and ghosting on many LCD displays are minimal to nonexistant these days.

Really how an image looks on a CRT vs LCD is relative to the amount of money spent on each device these days. Spend $500+ on a quality CRT and it will definitely put a $200 LCD to shame. Spend $500+ on a quality LCD and $200 on a CRT and the CRT is obviously going to look fugly, darker, and possibly blurry in comparison.
