While I can’t claim to be one of the wonderful people who have freed themselves from the tyranny of CRT displays (I still have a 22-inch CRT upstairs-mostly because it takes 2 people to lift, and a 19-inch or two in storage that I need to recycle) I’m very happy with the LCDs that I use on my primary computers at home and at work. At home, I rock a pair of 24-inch LCDs, and at the office I have one 24-inch, and I wouldn’t trade them for the world.
But am I getting the image quality that I could get? I essentially popped them out of the box and hooked them up to their respective computers: I didn’t tweak much in the way of settings or anything, should I have? Well, ExtremeTech has answers to those questions – there are a ton of configuration options available in the on-board menus that ship with your LCD display that you may not know about, and even if they don’t give you better image quality than what you had out of the box, they at least allow you to customize the display to your particular environment.
From tips as basic as avoiding the VGA port altogether to verifying that you’re using the native resolution on your display, the tips are pretty solid – if you’re a hardcore gamer and obsessive about image quality, these shouldn’t be a surprise to you, but they’re always good to keep in your back pocket.
