New Monitor

[seth556]

I've finally gotten rid of my old 17" crt and replaced it with a 22" lcd. Oh the more desktop space both on my actual desk and on my screen.

lucky..
I got a 16" crt (i think) that's slowly and silently dying... before I know it I'll be looking at a black screen...

[seth556]

Well the crt I had was "17in" which means a 16" view.

[e owner]

well, I have a hp mx70 so I'm not sure if that's a crt or not..

[seth556]

Is it big and bulky?

[SavagePede]

Nice monitor.

Off topic: I see someone's a runner :D .

[seth556]

Yep, just a bit...

Is it big and bulky?

[seth556]

i'll never go back to a single display..




Z-2300's?

I had dual crt's for a long time. They were nice but never really needed that much extra space. And now with a 22" I can put stuff side by side and still have more room left over.

Man, I always wanted to get a nice big LCD. Never had the funds to do it. I went from a 17" CRT to a 13" LCD recently when I bought my laptop though, kind of going in the opposite direction. We had 19" LCD screens in the CAD lab at my school, that was really nice having that much room for working in AutoCAD and VIZ. Do you do anything specific where it's nice to have more room on the comp screen? Or more just for multi-tasking?

[z400]

i just simply do alot of multi tasking, or i will be viewing multiple forums. Most of the time the left display will have cable tv on it and the right display will be my web pages and such

Dual 17s or 22s?

[M3mph1s]

I went from probably a16" CRT, to a 15.4" LCD laptop display. I'd take the laptop display ANYTIME!
Hell, I'd take just the laptop display on a desktop computer over the CRT.
Dad got a 19" LCD from Gateway with his desktop. It's really nice, but I actually prefer my laptop for movie watching, as it's wider than it is tall. ALA; widescreen movies, as compared to widescreen movies all scrunched up on the desktop screen.

[seth556]

I used to think my dad's 19" wide screen was big, now when I try to use it, it seems so small.

[canadianrcist]

dual 19's. im going to go dual 24+ if i sell my car soon.

[seth556]

haha. You must have one BIG desk to work at.
