jliquor Member Since: Sep 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 14 Days	Ghosting is really bad, I mean really, really bad. Strengths: swivel is neat, nice looking case. Weaknesses: ghosting, blurry, res. is just way too low for a 19" monitor Summary: I really don't understand how half of us love this monitor and the other half hate it. I really wanted this thing to work well, I have an older Samsung SyncMaster 172x I have been gaming on it for a couple years with, never a single ghosting problem. I thought the 4ms refresh of the 960bf would make games look even beter, no such luck. I tried changing out the cable, no difference. I even tested my 172x with all the same settings and it looks a thousand times better than the 960bf, I play CS, HL2, BF2, FEAR, all have terrible ghosting on this monitor. If someone has a secret fix, please let us all know. I plan on returning the one I purchased. 77% of People (10/13) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

The handle built into the base makes carrying the monitor around easy. Even comes with a DVI cable! Weaknesses: This monitor is terrible for gaming and movies. I played BF2 connected to a 6800ultra and there was terrible blurring, ghosting and streaking. My 3 year old 25mb Samsung 191T pulls of movement better Summary: I would recommend this monitor for office use really. If you're not planning to play games or watch movies on this monitor, purchase away. I feel you can get a better bang for your buck with other Samsung, Dell or Hyundai LCD models. Gaming was utterly awful, so I returned this monitor the next day. 66% of People (19/29) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

Justhereforthisreview Member Since: Dec 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Day	Sucks for Gaming Strengths: Good for non-gaming usage, screen is crisp and perfect Weaknesses: Streaking, ghosting, disgusting for gaming Summary: Bought this monitor from Best Buy solely for the purpose of gaming - totally sucks for it. Ghosting and streaking in BF2 and Fear, I am returning this today. I would recommend it for office or static image, video usage. 60% of People (6/10) found this review helpful.

jimr9999us Member Since: Jan 2006 View Member's: Reviews	A great monitor for the $ Strengths: Gaming, internet Weaknesses: Video Summary: Plugged the incl. dvi cord from my 6800u to the monitor and in no time was enjoying Call of Duty 2 max settings no ghosting or blurring, beautiful crisp images...Even my wife poked her head in and said "wow"...I won't even mention how sharp "lost coast" looks... P.S. The wife wants one for her office now...I'm thinking deal for a 7800gt? Take a hard look at this monitor before you buy. 60% of People (3/5) found this review helpful.
