I have an LG L225WT... and me being a fussy biatch... have a question regarding this monitor.

I think I notice what is called as 'tearing' when I've been playing a few games (it's not that bad, a small minor irritation). Like, if I move too fast... it kind of doesn't keep up in bits of the screen. (I think this is tearing, not ghosting!).

My monitor apparantly has a 5m/s response time.

Does anyone else with this monitor experience this? Is there a way to fix it?

I believe you can set vsync to "ON" and that resolves the problem mostly? I read it limits it to 60fps (60hz monitor) but I'm presuming that's absolutely fine for playing games?

Any advice guys!

Cheers!

Well, for me vsync is game depend. I always try using vsync and if the game doesn't revolt, I keep it on. But, a game like Crysis.... vsync hurts my frame-rate too much. You can alway tweak with triple buffering:

The tearing has nothing to do with your monitor (well nothing being wrong with it) so you can remove that from the equation. I always use V-sync cause I don't like the tearing...if you can't stand it then use V-sync. Yes...Triple buffering helps...There really isn't much else you can do...if you're trying to run a game at like 100fps...you're going to get some tearing...hard to avoid...esp. with LCD Monitors.

Thanks for all the suggestions, will try those!

Does turning vsync on effect quality or anything? (It limits it to 60fps I've read... but I'm guessing to our eyes it wouldn't make a difference?)

Yes it does limit your FPS count, but it also eliminates tearing. Your choice.
