PSH! Nothing beats a good ol CRT moniter :P

Seriously though, if you get a decent CRT then you get a pretty nice image. I'd like to see these new moniters in action though, have yet to try one out myself.

You must still drive a horse and buggy then also! Not that it's a bad thing--I love horses

So you have an LED monitor your self then? Are they very expensive? Also how much better is the image?

Its funny but we do often forget to mention monitors even though they are one of the most important parts of a gaming PC...

Upgrade a video cards and get a better frame rate

Upgrade your monitor and you will actually get better image quality!

I have an LG 22" Led Lcd. Payed $229--Didn't think that was bad? I actually came by it on accident. I was looking at Led TV'S and saw how good they looked so I looked up the Led monitors for pc and I was so impressed I went out and got one. The biggest difference was the lighting and the colors were so sharp. In the future I'm sure you will only see Led's. They are e-co friendly and cosume less power!

My LG LCD 22" monitor was 150$... so 80$ more.. idk i think, a little expenise

For an additional $80 to present a better pic quality, in my thinking is definitley worth it! Look at the extreme differences your paying for Gpu's for example.

Why don't I ever see any discussions about the Led Lcd monitors? For anyone that hasn't seen one yet, they are heads above the reg Lcd as far as color, brightness, and sharpness goes. I am no tech when it comes to monitors but being an avid gamer, I just want to tell everyone what a huge difference the Led makes. Just trying to help!

I have 1 -6 pin connector going to my 260gtx card. I know I have to use the 6 pin adapter that came with the card to attach to the second 6 pin connection on the card. My question is, can I connect the 2- 4 pin molex connectorsto any open 4 pin connections running to my psu? I have an Ultra 550 watt ATX PSU.

Also, why are retailers running out of stock on the 260's. Is it because of the fermi's comming out soon?

EVGA. It's built well and they have a really good warranty if you register it within 30 days of buying it.

I always had luck with XFX! Just wondering.

May I ask what PSU you have?

Ultra Connect 2 550watt ATX. Hope you don't need the rail info.

I ask because using that adapter with a PSU that has enough juice, just not the correct connectors is ok, but most PSU's without the proper connectors also don't provide adequate power.

My bad, on the quote reply!
