right now i got a viewsonic 17" 1280x1024 e773 monitor

my dream system would be two 21" lcd displays
but since i can't afford that what would you recommend ?
either crt or lcd

screen area (and maybe desk space ) are my main concerns because i am a day trader and need to see many charts

does anyone know if lcd's with a 25ms response time streak ??
maybe i can get a 19" for just over 500 if 25ms is good enough (for gaming every now and then too :)

We sell them (FP597v2) all day long in that price range...

do they make a 19" model maybe ?

They do, to be honest they are not the greatest LCD in the 19". We where told soon we WILL see a new 12ms 19" LCD however... based on the same specs/panel as the fp767-12.

This is a great LCD in the 19" range (No this is NOT the company I work for), in should be instock within a day or two, if not check out newegg, they should have the same model. We do also sell this LCD, I would never sell inside a forum is why I recommend other companies.

I should add, a non-DVI LCD that has great analog display is HERE

seconded. granted i don't like lcds because i tend to game a lot, but i suppose if you don't game then crts arn't that important. if you do game, i'd say one of each would be best.

yeah i like the idea of getting one crt and one lcd

would there be any issues running dual display with a 21" crt and a 19" lcd or something of that sort ?

other than the obvious fact that it will look very symetical when you span across both monitors, no. but i'd imagine that isn't really an issue for what you are planing to do.

do the lcd displays look or perform noticeably worse using the vga connect instead of the dvi connector ??

I think so, so do think so, so don't. When you have both, you would/will see a sizeable difference.

I have a Samsung 171s with a 25ms refresh speed and it's totally fine. The streaking is very minimal. It honestly doesn't bother me at all. If you can, get either a 17" or 19" with DVI interface...I've heard it's simply amazing.

Yes, without a doubt. Some of them are considerably inferior without a DVI connection(some aren't quite as bad, but there is a decent step down). LCD's work on a digital signal before they display the image so they have to take the analog signal from a standard VGA connection and convert it back to digital. You end up going digital-analog-digital which takes away a lot of quality.

Click to expand...

IMO NEC/Mitsubishi(same monitors). I think most people would agree that either Sony(FDTrinitron) or NEC/Mitsu(Diamondtron) have the best monitors, I prefer Diamondtron tubes over Trinitron as they have a more even quality picture across the entire screen to my eyes. The Mitsu FP2070 and NEC FP2141 are the best 22" CRTs in the 'reasonable' price range(you can do better stepping up to the ~$1500-$2000 range, but not that much better and certainly not worth the price difference).

are all crt monitors using the old sub vga connectors ?
Click to expand...

Pretty much yes. You can find a couple CRT monitors that use a DVI connector but they will still have a DAC so they end up being analog signal anyway. If you do decide to pick a 22" monitor I would do yourself a favor and make sure you pick up a Matrox board to drive them. While ATi and nVidia may have solid 2D for lower end monitors, they can't touch Matrox for high end 2D applications.
