I threw away one of those as nobody wanted it, even for a pound at a car boot.
Established in 2002 it brings together people from all over the world to discuss their one love of Type R's.

What I want to know is why you think your 10yr old frankly ancient and shite technology monitor is a direct comparison to a 3yr old TV that is well known to be very good. Are you saying your monitor is to the gaming world now what a Kuro is to the TV world?
Many boffins think the Kuro is still class leading. Do these same boffins think that about your monitor?
Are you saying your monitor is no longer made for the same reasons Pioneer doesn't make TV's?
Does Iiyama or any other monitor company use the tech found in your POS like Panny do with the Kuro tech?
Please do tell me where the similarity lies with your monitor and Pioneer/Kuro.... See it seems to me that you're attempting (Badly btw) to try and be a smart arse that because you know more about Pioneer Kuro's that means my statement, that your monitor is shite, is wrong.danneth wrote:If it is so sh-t, i have asked what made it sh-t? ( please answer what makes it sh-t )Well you seem to think that your monitor is amazing because of its refresh rate. Only due to the fact it's above what monitors do now at a measly 680x480 which frankly you would be a moron to play modern games in that resolution. Infact not even modern just games from this century would be a good start.
I couldn't care less if your monitor has a 150hz refresh rate at this resolution. Does your monitor do 120hz at 1920x1080 like my modern one does for playing ALL games as opposed to one? Not that mine would particularly struggle with smart scaling on resolutions smaller than the native size. It would happily auto adjust the screen to 17" and play your amazing CS dominating resolution.
Do you think you would have some edge purely from the difference between 120hz and 150hz...

I'm sure the very sight of this beast has modern monitor manufacturers quaking in their boots...

Mart wrote:Danneth you come out with some right sh-t. What did I quote you on to start with. Don't try and make out I said the monitor was sh-t at just CS because you can go back to page 1 and check.Sorry mate but Danneth's monitor will play CS better than any modern monitor out at the moment. It's true I'm affraid. I agree with your arguments with regards to modern games though [smilie=karls_thumb.gif]
Your monitor will play CS no better than mine, but my monitor will play every modern game miles better. Thus it's pretty safe to say your monitor is NOT the best EVER.
Every modern monitor out there will play CS just fine. Why you think your monitor has some kind of super edge on a modern one is the only thing that confuses me.
Mart wrote:Because?There's plenty of reasons they didn't opt in for a CRT, mainly because they look so shit. You need to remember that many LAN's are BYOC, it really isn't efficient to be luggin' around a big CRT. Ask any of those pros which monitor they would prefer to play a CPL final game on, I'm pretty sure not 1 of them would choose the BenQ.

There is my monitor. Co produced by Counterstrike geeks. They didn't opt for CRT...
