advice on 19" CRT monitor?

[blade2]

hey i just saw this great deal for a 19" (18" viewable) here and since some of you might not be wantin to use valuable bandwidth ill display stats:

its a generic monitor in other words not big branded
- Screen - 19" Colour (18" Viewable Area)
- Dot Pitch - 0.26mm
- Maximum Resolution - 1600 x 1200

for only £ 116.32 Inc Vat !!!!

so is it worthwhile to get cause otherwise i will be getting a 17" at this price but would probably be a little brand like Belyinea or something!

please let me know! lol i sound like a loser askin please!

blade2 the best response i will give you on monitors is to check them out locally on a simmilar setup if possible to see the differences that matter to you.some will look better to you than to me as we are different.
if price is a main concern try to find reviews on the model and make a better guess if the local idea is out.

it sounds like a great deal.but great deals can go bad if it doesn't meet your needs/wants.

i know this isn't the answer you were wanting in all probability but it is the best.

hope this helps

hey thanks mike but even though this monitor would generally be great cause im just looking to upgrade my 15" 13.8" viewable monitor to a big monitor as possible cause generally i am mostly on the net and i know the bigger the monitor the better BUT, my mum is beign stingy and wont get me it - lol - i have to get a job and earn the money she says lol

Jobs build character!
and if you want to build a lot of character, I'd say go for a 19" LCD...
But seriously, definitely look at the moniter before you buy it if possible, otherwise go for something a little bit more name-brand.
And on a side note, if you're mostly looking at the web and cost is an issue, a 17" moniter would probably suit your needs.
Going for 15" to 17" is a HUGE difference, and I doubt you'll be disapointed.

in that case go for any upgrade lol i went from a 13 inch to a 21 and i hate small monitors now.any thing is better but the truth remains color and contrast make a huge difference on most monitors and a lot of companies skimp on parts that drag down image quality hence i say see before you buy.

good luck on the job and before spending that "hard earned money" do your homework you won't be disappointed

Save your eyes, get a cornerstone p1460 OR the new 19inch hitachi lcd flat panel screen (cml190b).
The p1460 is less than half the price of the hitachi AND the p1460 is designed for 1600 X 1200 resolution at 85hz refresh rate . My setup runs at 1200 X 768 @ 120hz refresh rate and the image is so stable I love it. I get absolutely No Eye Strain!
