icedragn 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2004 Personally I would stick with the CRT's because they are simply cheaper and have a much quicker response rate than an lcd, of course an lcd can have good response time to but that costs money so for the time being ill stick with my 15" crt ( i will be upgrading soon to hopefull a 19", 15" is just too small these days).

antitrust 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) I don't know is that brand good or bad...But I don't like LCD monitors because they can get death pixels.If you ever buy LCD , buy the new monitor , NOT used , because you can use it little time...

Becca 0 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 I bought my LCD screen some time before it was used as home pc moniters ... I bought it from some office for 500 pounds.I think its 17" my mum bought it for me because I was on te verge of getting glasses and she needed a safer to eyes screen...LCD are better for your eyes so she bought one of those for me.I can't stand normal ones because they flicker and make my eyes really water.Anyways antitrust please stop TRIPLE posting every where, I keep having to delete the extra ones where you COULD of deleted yourself. You also in another topic copied and pasted what I wrote...it was EXACTLY the same. I also deleted that. If it is your computer's problem sort it out!

icedragn 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2004 CRT's flicker yes, but if you crank up the refresh rate then you wont notice it, and i have perfect visio and still do. also i have a question about LCD monitors, what does DP mean and whats the difference from 27dp to 25dp, besides the fact that the 25dp is another $50 or so?

synapticflame 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2004 Dot Pitch:The distance between a dot and the closest dot of the same colour (red, green or blue) on a color CRT. Dot pitch is typically from 0.28 to 0.51 mm but large presentation monitors may go up to 1.0 mm. The smaller the dot pitch, the crisper the image, 0.31 or less provides a sharp image, especially when displaying text. Dot pitch measurements between conventional tubes and Sony's Trinitron tubes are roughly, but not exactly comparable. Sony's CRTs use vertical stripes, not dots, and its measurement is the distance between stripes, not the diagonal distance between dots. So lower dp (dot pitch) means less distance between the pixels, and therefore more detail. This is really important for LCD monitors because unlike CRTs, the pixels are fixed in place. Lower DP = more detailed image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odomike 0 Report post Posted December 15, 2004 Now that will cost me so much money to buy. I am not at all thinking of getting any of those. The good ol' monitor is kool enbough for me/:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThoughtVoid 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2004 Well, I don't have a "moniter" per say. However, I do have this computer hooked up to the 37" Sharp Aquos (LCD) via S-video. I do have side bars since the TV is 16:9 format, however the picture is worth it ( size and clarity). I'm looking into getting a smaller LCD screen that I will use for just computing so I can watch TV and be on the computer at the same time. Also, I'd love to get rid of this CRT monitor.EDIT: If someone wants a picture to see the picture, id be happy to post, but my camera wont do the picture justice.

mortalmatt 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2004 i am still using my monitor from 1996, it's a 17inch ibm g70, i could use an upgrade, but no extra money to spend for a monitor, i would probably get a crt again unless i found a lcd for a good price, the only nice thing IMO about lcd's are their size, crt's seem better in all other avenues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wariorpk 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2005 I am also very happy with my LCD computer screen. I got it when I replaced my old computer about two years ago and it has an amazing picture. I would highly recommend buying one of these if you need a new monitor. Mine is a Samsung SyncMaster 192N so if your LCD monitor isn't good it is your brand that is the problem.

Arigato 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2005 On my computer I have a Samsung SyncMaster 930B monitor. It's a 19 inch LCD. Color, resolution and response time are great. Way better than the 17 inch CRT I used to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moogie 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2005 I've got a 19" Dell LCD and have had it now for almost a year. I love it! I mostly do regular computer work like web files and graphics. I know that CRT's are better for fast gaming but for the games that I play, like Civilization and Age of Empires, my LCD is fast enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
