<--22" NEC Diamondtron @ 1600 x 1200 @ 100hz @ home.

Gaming @ 2048 x 1536 @ 85hz is nice too...

That reminds me, I need to haul the 300lb diamondtron down here and hook it up to a video card that can do more than 640x480. Honestly, that monitor KICKS, if it weren't so fvcking immobile.

C'mon...it's only 65lbs. Are you small?

How much does that weigh and how much desk space does it take up?

It's only about ~65lbs...not a problem for me really. It's not like I move it all the time anyhow. I often find it funny when people talk about the weight of a good CRT like they are carrying it all the time. Most people put it down, and it stays there.

As for space, I've got plenty, and it's no deeper than my 19" AG CRT was...

No dude, mine's a 27" much older model. It's steel reinforced.

Don't you find 100Hz blurry?

Nope.. It's funny you mention that though. When I first got it, it was blurry @ 100hz, but I changed the synch options in my ATI drivers and it fixed that. I recently upgraded to the newer Cat 5.2 drivers, and it was not blurry without changing the synch settings.

At some point I'll prolly go out and buy the tool to adjust the focusing ports on the side just to see what difference that makes...

In all seriousness though, I often eat on this desk instead of downstairs, so it's handy to not have to run all the way back downstairs if I forgot something to wipe my hands.
