ATOT 15'CRT owners club...

[dug777]

Until i picked up a second 17'CRT i was using a 15'CRT (nice sony trinitron) as my second monitor...

Anyone still using one as a primary?

:beer: to you if you are

 

[wfbberzerker]

my primary display is the screen from a calculator.

 

[suse920]

19 inch lcd at the moment, but i have my eye on a 24 inch widescreen

 

[ironcrotch]

i dont have a monitor

 

[OREOSpeedwagon]

I never had a monitor bigger than a 15" CRT up until a few months ago, now I'm using a 19" LCD

I'd love to have a 15 foot display.

I did, however, use a 15" CRT for about the last 5 years, until just recently.

 

[Xyclone]

I have a 19" inch CRT, but no 15".

 

[Ricemarine]

Never ever had a 15' crt.

Back in 97' they had 17'

I'm using a 17' LCD now.

 

[Bozono]

I use a 15'crt as primary on a P2 300 used for downloads and music. I was using a 15" exclusively up until May of this year. 800x600 on 15" is great for everything other than websites.

 

[RossMAN]

I've never had a 15"

CRT 13 - 17 - 19 - 19 LCD - 20 widescreen LCD

 

[DaWhim]

suck to be you

I just dumped my 17in trinitron a couple of months ago for a 2001fp. I had it for 5+ years and loved it. But the damn thing wouldn't die, and I use it now as a work-monitor. I've always recommended people spend $$ on a monitor, because the good ones last a long time.

Friend of mine has dual 15"'s...it's humorous

 

[0roo0roo]

using lcd. crt is dead to me, waste of power and they fade into ugliness rather quickly. 15" still works but i don't use it.

On a 17" Samsung CRT and a trinitron in the closet. The trinitrons are still great but you gotta check out the newer monitors, I recently compared them back to back and the syncmaster 753df I own has much more vibrant colors.

My wife has the Samsung SyncMaster 753DF and it's an awesome monitor.

Plus it was only $89 after rebate with free shipping from Dell, 4 years ago.

My Pionex 486SX came with a 14" CRT in 1993. Then we got a Gateway2000 P166 in 1996 or so and that came with a 17" CRT. Ever since then I've always used 17" or larger.

damn, you aussies really do live in the stone age.... I gave up my 19' trinitron-tubed goodness for a 17" NEC and now a Samsung 19" LCD

I really want a 24" inch LCD display

hey, i think my dual 17'CRTs are pretty sweet

Until i'm satisfied that LCDs are close to CRTs for gaming i'm in no great hurry, it will mean i'll have to replace my :heart: 9800 pro as well...

 

[Soccerman06]

I only have a screen 55% larger than the OP, is a 23" CRT close enough to be in the club?

My next rig will probably have a Dual DVI video card but I'm waiting for prices to drop.

Well I just got my mom a better monitor than mine... 8ms response time.. it is, as Paris Hilton would put it, HOT! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824001185

My monitor is a lowly NEC 17" with 16ms and I have yet to see the blur. My 9800Pro handles the dvi no sweat.

CRT's are nice but put out way too much heat.

P.S. I just got another 19" Samsung... but is in only 25ms response time... still a really nice monitor. I think I will do the dual thing with it.
