Since 1997, I've been using 21" CRT's @1600x1200 (75-85Hz). As much as general computer technology has improved since then, maximum resolutions (2048x1536 at a decent refresh, still a rarity) haven't increased nearly as much. Well my trusty ole' Sony 21" CRT is finally showing signs of old age, not sure how much longer it'll last.
I need a new monitor. I don't want to get another CRT due to space concerns, but I also have little interest in current generation LCD's. Even the Dell 2001FP LCD does nothing for me, as it's maximum resolution is only 1600x1200 and it's not widescreen.
Anyway, my question is as follows:
I want a 20"+ widescreen LCD with *AT LEAST* 1920x1200 resolution and a 12ms or better response time. I want it to have an 8-bit panel. (I checked a friends new Samsung with the 6-bit panel and there was something about the colors that just wasn't right.) Oh, and I want my super LCD for <$1200.
Does anyone have any information regarding future LCD technology or new models coming down the pipe? Any links or speculation would be appreciated too. If it's gonna be a few years until they're available I'll probably just get a $200 19" CRT to hold me over.
Thanks 🙂
