For gaming, I can buy both of these rather cheaply which one should I get?

Sony CPD-G520 21"
Samsung SyncMaster 955DF 19'

Which ever one can do the higher refresh rate really.

Personally, id get the 19", as if you play at 800x600 or so, then the 21" will look worse.
Just my 2c

Yeah I think I'm leaning more to the 955, I'm actually using a 19'' lcd right now.

Craigslist.

Thats the specs, I have a question though I'm kinda confused it supports 800x600 but I'm confused about the hz:

Synchronization Range - Vertical 50 - 160 Hz
Synchronization Range - Horizontal 30 - 85 kHz

Does it mean it does 160hz or only 85?

Vertical Sync is what you want.
It will do 160hz, so probably 160hz @ 640x480

My Trinitron P992 can do 170hz @ 640x480, but it glitches abit and wont let me stretch to edge of the screen.

So your probably looking at:
1280x960 @ 85 or 100hz
1024x768 @ 100 or 120hz
800x600 @ 140-160hz
640x480 @ 160hz

Just a guess though

Oh okay thanks. I'm going to use 800x600 so 100+hz is perfect.

I play 800x600 w/ 160hz and its perfect.

640x480 seemed better on my old 17" CRT, but on a 19", its just a bit too pixilated imo, to see heads d2 catwalk, etc.

Wow this monitor is nice it's really bigger than I expected think I need a new desk.
Do you know if its possible to use reforce with dual monitors? I'm using another LCD on the side, I can't seem to get it to work.

Yeah. I really like it, got reforce to work, i just unplugged my monitor and set it then plugged it back in. 800x600 @ 120hz is sweet. Although I have a feeling if I ever upgrade to Windows 7 It's going to be a pain to set it up.
