Monitor features and how they benefit gamers

Reminds me of Sales people pitching the whole PMPO Watt output versus actual RMS Watt output.

I remember back in the day, the "BIG" Hifi systems claiming they can push 5000 WATT PMPO but in real life only about 10W RMS...

Sigh..... damn sales people.....

Yeah I remember that, pretty much the same story, you just pick a number or measurement that makes you look good even if it means nothing performance wise.

Agreed. Most of the time the unnecessary 'features' and 'specs' thrown out just confuse the hell out of me, and I'm in a greater position of unease about the product I'd like to purchase.

Also, it is only when I'm shopping/browsing for something that this happens. When I'm using the new piece of shiny tech, most of that mumbo jumbo sales talk is forgotten, and I either end up with a shit item or one that actually meets my expectation of use.
