I didn't either, but the HDV I want to mess around with couldn't even play on my old system, so here I am in 2007.

I don't know if you notice but with all my hardward upgrades sometimes I come in just sucking it up for a couple weeks. crt to lcd was a little hard too. Do you know the max response time for your monitor? Are you getting a lot of ghosting?
Also are you on vista now? Not sure if that flakes your game out as I don't have it.
Check your lcd refresh rate too. I noticed a significant improvement setting my first lcd from 60 mhz to 75 mhz. Each one varies so not sure what yours is capable of.
The response time is listed at 6ms, not sure if that's a max not. I wouldn't describe what I'm getting as ghosting, I'll go in to that in more detail after I answer your quesitons. No Vista, I'm not crazy. I'm guessing I'm on 60mhz right now because I've switched back to 1920x1200 res yesterday hoping it would help me out. I was running at a lower res previously (thinking it would help), but I probably was only at 60mhz then as well. I'll try that test next.
It's really hard to describe exactly what is going on because it seems like an easy fix, mouse sensitivity. It feels like everything is in slow motion, the "quickshot" or reflex shot is completely gone from my game now with this setup. It's especially bad when I'm fighting up close, where I'm so use to turning quickly and drilling somebody. I'm not sure if that's the screen area f*cking with me or what is going on there. If I move my mouse sensitivity higher, then I'll lose all ability to hit the "crossing" the crosshairs type long distance shot because my aim won't be able to stay still. The middle ground between both types of shots I had before is gone with the new system and yet neither shot is easy for me. If it were only mouse sensitivity, I'd expect it be much better at the "crossing" type shots, but I'm not.
As a last ditch attempt to fix what is wrong, I thought I'd mess with the FOV settings. I've always ran at 100 for as long as I can remember. I thought the size of the monitor were screwing with me, so I lowered it and raised it. I'm surprised how much that effects the game play and not just the view, 120 makes it feel like you don't move. 80, gave different results, but also not good. Figured by going to one extreme or the other it would give me a possible solution, it didn't.

Going to widescreen is a huge change and I'm betting it's just how big everything is now ace because your old crt was not near as big. Look at it this way, after a couple weeks and your eyes adjust, and I think that's where most of it is, you will be able to see lizards tail from across grendle and put an lg hole in it.
Yeah, probably will try switching back to the old tonight and see how it goes.
