I need to replace the aging CRT monitors in my lab and I'm looking at some of the new 120 Hz response time gaming LCD monitors. I saw some threads on this in the forums, but they were several years old and the technology has advanced some so I thought it would be worth revisiting. There are a few published papers out now comparing different monitors (e.g., Ghodrati, Morris, & Price, 2015; Wang & Nikolic, 2001), and it seems as though the new LCDs are better in terms of fast/accurate temporal processing. These studies used different software, however. I'm curious if anyone has tested Inquisit scripts with any of these new monitors or if there are any suggestions on a suitable CRT replacement that is reasonably priced ($600 or less)?

For most of my research, I want images to be displayed for 100 ms, followed by a mask. I vary the onset of the mask, however, anywhere from 17 ms to 484 ms after the offset of the study images. With the newer 120 Hz monitors, it seems I could achieve that since each frame is ~8.3 ms (12 frames would bring me to 100 ms, 2 would give me the 17 ms interval). So, as long as I get a monitor with fast refresh rates am I safe in assuming the accuracy of my timings? Is there anything else I should look for?
