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 🙂
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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...

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. 😀
