Monitors
 

Currenlty I do all my programing on a 15" flatscreen thinking of upgrading to 17 or 18 inch flatscreen they cost around 600 buck now, anyone think its worth it?

a 15" monitor??

jesus. they still make those things?

flatscreen, learn to read fucker. they sell 15" flatscreens like mad these days.

it's definately worth it - I have a 17" myself, it rocks! :thumbsup

Sebastian.

what makes a flatscreen so good other than saved space? is the pixelation that much better? ie a 17" flattie would be better than my hooptie 21" ?

26" here.. almost as big as my cock.

:Graucho

I got my 19'in ViewSonic flatscreen from best buy for $300 with a $100 mail in rebate :Graucho

fwiw,

17" CRTs are actually 15-16" "viewable"

LCDs are measured corner to corner exactly.

so a 15" flatscreen LCD is about the same size as a 17" CRT. not tiny, not huge, just about right.

tho i love my viewsonic 19" CRTs.

(i'm assuming he meant LCD flatscreens, of course.. i'll delete this if i'm wrong.)

The pixelation of flatscreen monitors is much better, the screen is more (calm) and better to work with if you are sitting behind your pc long times a day. I'm really enjoying it. More free space is definately a big advantage. Plus, a 17" flatscreen is like a 19" CTR monitor.

Ew, keep that thing away from me.

26"? I don't believe that, post a pic (OF YOUR SCREEN DUH)!

Seb.

26" I'm not a screen guru, but they make them that big?

I fucking hate monitors. I'm looking at a 19" flat screen (LCD) for my new beast. Getting anxious as hell for it...

I saw 18 inch screens for 600-700 dollars but 19 inch is still above 1000 I also saw a 24 inch flatscreen for 3k, that thing is beutiful

just what you need :thumbsup

Thats the one I saw

The one I was looking at came through the Dell package I'm ordering, it was an additional $400.

I assume we are talking about flatscreen LCD's here.

I'm still not sold on LCD's (even though I bought one once, and returned it 3 days later). The technology still sucks compaired to high end CRT's. Doing graphic work on LCD's is a problem due to poor color management. As for the tiny 15in LCD's, try using one of those at their standard 1024x768 res. Good luck.

My main monitor is a Sony Trinitron 18in viewable flatscreen CRT. Nothing tops the Trinitron's. Although, the high end View Sonic's are very nice too.

I use an old 21 inch viewsonic g790 graphic series at work...a buddy of mine has a hitachi cm772 that is sweet and could be had for like $380 shipping and tax included.

I want the monitor that doubles as a television... that's cooooool.

now that's just silly...

:)

Awww got a 17 inch Envision monitor, quality is great.

I just love my 1600x1200 resolution... finally I have enough room for ICQ and all the other tools needed....

I have 1280 x 1024

well, I got that 1600 x 1200 on my new Dell notebook.... that really rocks!

how big is the monitor?

More like how big is the needed magnifying glass?

it's a 15" UXGA monitor. Have to admit quality is excellent

i'm waiting until flatscreens have better response times.
