The full prize distribution for the 2010 edition of the World Cyber Games has been revealed

The WCG committee have unveiled the prizes for this year's World Cyber Games event.

The top three finishers of each tournament will earn a cash prize plus a Samsung product: either a monitor, netbook, or both.

Disappointingly for those competing, the cash prizes fall short of those that were on offer last year, and are the lowest the competition has seen in recent years. The fourth to eighth place finishers, bar those playing Quake Wars Online, will not take home any prizes at all.

Check out the complete prize distribution below.

120hz is great ! but 5ms respond time is .....

5ms respond? Yea, its means time when pixel fully change color in blank white to the darkest black, not the delay of the video. Yeah, it causes that "ghost" -effect, but you dont notice that when you play couple of days with it. And in my option, it makes only just game smoother :D

I was too one who complain about "5ms" for a longtime (since first TFT was made i hated TFT) and i was the one who swear that i wont never buy TFT (since they could be as good as CRT), but when i choose change to TFT (finaly!), i can say this is just AWESOME. There is: widescreen for movies (looks just great), And in games you can just scale to 4:3 (not in 8XXX nvidia cards and thats why i had to change 7600GT >:c, but its not monitors fault only nvidia), easy to transport for LANs and many more reasons..

CRT = TFT. TFT has not affect my gameplay in badway.

Great monitor, IMO 5/5 stars.
