i just got my BRAND NEW 17inch lcd computer screen. I love it. clear picture. bright. awesome !! lemme say that again awesome contrast and colors. and the best thing of all it was a resonable price. if oyu are looking for a new moniter. look into the samsung syncMaster 712n its a good bargain.

[vect0r]

hmm i would rather try the new 30 inch apple monitor. anything that has so much quality that it requires 2 dv cables should be pretty sweet

For Russia $500 x 30 = 15,000 roubles, it's normal price...

but price on 17" LG Flatron 1730S 400:1 82kHz 1280x1024@75 TCo'99 = $420

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...

LCD's are great for normal work around the Desktop and surfing the internet but they are just not substatantial for gaming, if your looking for a gaming monitor the good old CRT is the way to go

at home i still use crt 21 inch sony.. max res 2xxx * 19xx pixels. max 150hz @ 800x600pix.
in the office i use lcd 20" compaq w/ max res 16xx * 12** pixels and 19" sony w/ max res 12xx * 10xx pixels.
means crt resolution still higher than lcd monitor, but lcd have no flicker (freq) screen, its good for eyes.

Not just that, I remember my workplace having LCD monitors...we had them on almost 24/7 and LCD burnout was an issue for some of them...they just can't stand long-term use as well as CRT monitors...

...and as mentioned earlier, refresh rates on LCD limit what you can do with them. Personally I'm happy with my 22" CRT monitor...plays the games I like at a nice resolution and without ghosting :-)

I have a Samsung 910T and it is awesome. No dead pixels when I turned in on and tested it. Bright and crisp colors with more desk space and less heat.

[andyy15]

The only two reasons I would switch from CRT to LCD is because it save space and is easy on the eyes. Other then that the prices just seem to keep droping so I guess I will wait it out and use my laptop before I buy a LCD for my laptop.

[icedragn]

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).

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! You have been warned

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?

[quote name='http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dot+pitch&r=67']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.[/quote]
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

[odomike]

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/
