Oddly enough I think they made a mistake in measuring because I've heard great things about the 90GX2 in gaming, being at VX922 level and having better colors.
I've always put more faith in Tom's LCD reviews than most other reviews because Tom's actually tests pixel response time (err, Latency) themselves in a non-subjective way (i.e. optical probe + digital oscope), in addition to their subject human ("how does it look/feel") tests.
I usually do as well, but I don't think lots of subjective reviews can be wrong...or can they?
Along those same lines, I was surprised to see you rank the 20WMGX2 above all for gaming -- is this truly faster than the 90GX2 + VX922? It seems rather amazing that a larger screen would be faster than a smaller screen (by the same company).
Well on three lesnumeriques tests the NEC beats the VX922 in 3 tests but loses on 1 for ghosting. http://www.lesnumeriques.com/duels.php?...o1=95&p1=969&ma2=41&mo2=74&p2=794&ph=1
I'm in the market for a new gaming monitor, and I want to be sure that I purchase the Right Thing(tm). For me, that's the monitor with the fastest response time, with little care for viewing angle, color quality, or brightness/constrast -- I already have 5 other monitors for all other uses (i.e. work, movies, ...), now I just need a really fast LCD for high-speed (...low image quality...) FPS.
Thanks!
The NEC 90GX2 or VX922 would be great unless you want the 20WMGX2. The difference in speed between all of those is negligible.
