Figures somebody else would have a similar nickname.  I wasn't trying to impersonate anybody.  I know the Milliseconds of flat panels are not what they say they are.  I want a CRT but can't find anything above 90hz that will do more than 1280/960.  Seems they could have doubled that in the past 10 years so I would think.

Ok, I'm sure most of you already know flatscreens are not up to par with CRT screens.  Question is, what CRT screens out there offer the highest refresh rate.  I've seen some that go up to 180hz at the lower resolutions.  I like to play at 1280/960 and have a CRT that is capable of doing 90hz at that resolution.  I know there is some professional ones out there that are better, but I've seen mixed reviews on them being blurry or geometry artifacts etc.  It seems the industry has decided to stop improving CRT and only sells LCD screens.  What does it take to get a  CRT to do some insanely high refresh.  I wish there were some 200 or 300hz screens out there.  Also flatpanel screens latency is a lie.  I also have a 2ms flatpanel.  That means it should do 500hz yet it still blurs when moving at 60.  It seems strange flatpanels will not even do 75 or 85hz.
