JVC GD-19L1GU (Pro LCD display)

[ExitPlanetDust]

Someone in my area keeps listing these and their 17" brethren on Craig's.

Other than JVC's specs page, I can't find out much about them. But they may be exactly what I'm looking for: a 4:3 professional LCD monitor with almost zero lag, a small footprint, and that I can natively hook older consoles up to. Something that will display a decent yesteryear image.

I'm in a small place and PVM/BVM isn't an option. Not even enough room for smaller consumer grade CRTs.

Any impressions or experience with these? Any information or even recommendations for a display that meets my above criteria is appreciated!

I wouldn't expect a low input lag just because it's a non consumer monitor

I'm crossing my fingers that someone may have lag tested it and they can provide the results.

I don't see any point in getting a display like that. If you need a space-saving setup, get a nice lag-free 23 or 24" LCD along with a XRGB unit. I don't have hands-on experience with that JVC, but I had other "pro" LCDs from that era, including a Sony. And btw: that display isn't 4:3, but it's 5:4 - and so are all 17 and 19" LCD monitors.

Whoever said that commercial or pro displays have less lag is spouting nonsense,
and I suggest you test any display you're interested in yourself (e.g. using a lag tester) before being suckered.

At one time I purchased a commercial signage LCD from NEC with the hope that the input lag would be lower;
alas, the input lag was near 80ms and it was completely unusable for gaming. Also it had a bad pixel in the center of the screen.
I returned it, but not after fighting with the seller a bit (eventually ebay buyer protection ruled in my favor).

Thanks for the advice guys. Exactly what I needed to know.
