I posted this in Entertainment/Tech but then I realized it was probably the wrong place so I'll put it here too.
So right now I have myself a CRT monitor and I'm looking to upgrade to an LCD. I'd like to use it for gaming as soon as I move into the next gen and finally grab a 360. I really have no idea what I'm looking for, though. Any help would be appreciated.
-What's the correlation between resolution and traditional TV output? I mean, I see monitors with a maximum resolution of 1280x768 or 1440x900 - how does that relate to 720p or 1080i?
-Do I want a higher or lower brightness? Do I want a larger or smaller contrast ratio?
-For playing video games, which connection type is preferred (I see D-sub and DVI-D as a couple examples)?
-Is a widescreen worth the extra $25 or so over a comparable normal screen for gaming?
-What are some good deals you might recommend?
Anything else you found helpful, or think might help me, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance
