LCD monitors and WinSPMBT

[Mobhack]

True - but most users will be playing on the low-end stuff issued with the basic machine.

I had thought the extra few quid for the "ultra sharp" would make a difference (with CRT it often did, e.g the ability to see the highest screen mode at say 85mhz instead of flickering 60Hz).

Unfortunately at today's tech level it looks like you need to spend as much as the entire CPU unit cost, to get an LCD that is worth viewing the family photos on, let alone playing games.

Ah well - in 3 years, what is top end monitor tech now, will then be day to day.
