Do you still use CRT monitors?

[thecoolnessrune]

I have a 17" used on the server, and a 15" used for test machines or for working on people's computers when they dont provide monitors. I do indeed wish I could replace them with respectively sized LCD units, but alas, I'm a full-time college student, and money just isn't something I have much of.

EDIT: As for CRT televisions, yes, all of them. All 4 of them. 1 is a flat-CRT. 19" (that's the flat one), 25", 27", and 32".

Still using my Sony G410. Awesome monitor. Probably won't replace it with a lcd until it dies. Same goes for my Sony television.

I use a 19" CRT at work.

I have a 19" aperture grille CRT here in L.A. if anyone wants to pick it up. Convergence somewhat off, but the average non-ATOTer wouldn't even notice.

I just finally turned in my 15"/17" AG CRTs for recycling; they were no worse in condition than the 19" but taking up space for no reason.

Nope... I retired my last CRT last year.

We replaced all of them at work, too!

Nothing special now, but I got it from newegg for $340 back in 06 and it was sweet. Doubles as my TV, no complaints thus far.

NEC Accusync 75F 17" FD CRT, not bad picture, used as secondary system monitor@1024x768x85Hz, primary system uses AL2216W 22" widescreen lcd. low refresh rates on CRTs make me physically ill when looking at them, some TVs do the same. I used to avert my eyes when I walked by tv shops to keep from losing my lunch... but I'm feeling much better now! Reinstalling XP on a machine really makes my day horrible, first thing I do is video drivers.

I miss my 22" Viewsonic DiamondTron CRT. But I'm still happy with my 28" Hanns G replacement LCD.

Have had them for several years. Hopefully they won't be dying out on me anytime soon. I kinda like them

No.

 

[Enig101]

I still have my CRT. I don't really see much point in getting an LCD. They're more convenient from the point of view of size, sure, but that is not an issue for me presently.

That said, my next monitor will be a flat panel of course.

 

[imported_nightfox]

I have one, but I don't use it.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Yes, a Viewsonic A90.

I have a 14inch HP thats 10 years old and sits in my garage collecting dust.

I Keep it as a spare in case the world ends.

 

[funboy6942]

I cant throw good money away, wait till they die, besides my 22 does 2048x1536, whats a cheap sup $200 lcd monitor do now a days?

 

[secretanchitman]

my macbook pro probably has the best screen ive ever used. LED backlit FTMFW...seriously.

edit: cant spell.

 

[Penth]

Not for a while now.

 

[ultimatebob]

Someone should ask a follow up question about CRT TV's. I'll bet that a lot of us have at least one of those left!

 

[spittledip]

22 inch one that works pretty good

 

[natto fire]

Not anymore, but I also only have one computer now.
