    So I'm just getting used to my new 19" Widescreen LCD Proview monitor.. And it struck me.. I fell over, and when I woke up all I could think of was what's everyone else got..
    So. What monitor do you have? Love it or hate it? Preffer LCD, CRT, Widescreen, ETC..?
    By the way. The monitor is the screen.. The bright thing infront of you on which you are reading these words. Fantastic.
    Post.

      21" Samsung. Dont know the exact details. It was one of the biggest on the market, but that was about a year ago. It can be rotated as well, so its pretty good for forums like these. And its awesome with games.
      Edit: Yes, it is a flat screen

        Mine's just a normal sized, flatscreen one.

        I hate those huge ones. Don't see the point.

          I think I have a 17" flat screen CRT. The one reason I like CRT's better though, is that you can read it from all angles. But I like LCD's because they're less bulky.

              I have a Dell 19" Flat Panel Monitor. We paid the extra $80 to upgrade from a 17" and it is completely worth it. The size is great for awesome resolution.

                  Omg, Sib, you're right about the rabbit part.

                  I do know the exact make of mine, syncMaster 213T. Or those who cant be bothered, http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/44630/samsu...aster-213t.html

                  Good enough for me.

                    I'm using a 19" CRT, which I much prefer over virtually every LCD screen I've ever used. The color reproduction is really not up to snuff compared to CRTs, and that is very important to me as a graphic and web designer. In addition, the physical pixel sizes on most LCD screens are just too large for me, and it makes everything seem blurry.

                    If anything, I'll upgrade to one of those nice 22" flat CRT monitors. The only LCD screen I would ever consider using for my every-day work would be one of those huge 24-30" Dell/Apple screens.

                      Mine's just the standard Dell flatscreen. 17", I think? Anyway, it works fine for what I do, I don't need the insane resolution, anyway.

                        I'm running 1440 x 990 right now.

                        And in reply to Max, those big LCD monitors cost in the thousands..

                          sibsag, I know that they are quite expensive, which is why I do not own them. But it's nice to dream ;)

                            UltraSharp Panel, 19''? Sounds like the one I have. Definitely worth the upgrade, I agree. My resolution is set at 1280 x 1024.
