monitor?

[Greyd]

Whats a good CRT monitor company/monitor. Mine just died. Gonna have to buy one I guess, any good ones out there?

Thanks

Viewsonic, Mitsubishi, Sony, NEC...what size are you looking for Greyd?

 

[Greyd]

19 incher...so that its not too expensive. Was considering the Samsung 950b? Is there one that people just rant about being a really good monitor?

Thanks

 

[Zim Hosein]

Samsung makes excellent monitors IMHO Greyd, I for got to mention that brand.

edit: Samsung's Current CRT Lineup

what's your budget?

KDS makes a 19 in Flat CRT can get it for 188$ at walmart

 

[Greyd]

$200-250 is my budget. Newegg seems to have some decent prices.

I have always liked KDS for their quality/price/RMA policy mix

 

[Greyd]

Does flat screen make that much difference?
I'm looking at those Samsung CRT's and the 950b is looking all the more appealing for its price and reviews.

 

[Greyd]

Hmmm.... KDS at walmart? Is it a good one?

ive had it for a while and ive had no problims at all with it it does 1600x1200 @ 75 Hz and looks great.

But i have been hearing that peopel have been having trubles with KDS moniters as of late

 

[Greyd]

Are there any 19 inchers that people have been raving about?



BTW - Higher dot pitch is better right?

 

[Anubis]

yes higher dot pitch = better

and i dont know if people have been raving about them

 

[Greyd]

Cool thanks everyone

Viewsonic.

I own the PF790. Had it several years now and its still great and working perfectly. Viewsonic also provides great customer support, and the fact that they are no more than 15min. away from me, I can just go there.

And go perfectly flat. But I warn you, once you do... curved monitors = bleh.

samsung 955df $220 + shipping from www.newegg.com

i bought one about a month ago and loved it so much i picked up another with a gift certificated that i had at bb.

you could get a dell p990 off of ebay, i believe that it's a sony tube, i've used many p1110's (the 21" versions) and i can say they are some of the best crt's i've used.

I second KDS. They have 3 year warranty with advanced RMA. And they use FD sony trinitron tubes too, at least my monitor does.

A lower dot pitch is better (i.e. .25mm is better than .28mm). A higher dot pitch would mean there is more spacing between the pixels, which would generally translate to a blurrier image when compared to a lower dot pitch screen.

i've had the KDS AV-195TF for a few years and i love it. no problems at all (knock on wood)

 

[spaceman]

when i was in BB shopping for an LCD,i was [] close to buying a black Mitsubishi 17" crt...the display at least in the store at the time,seemed noticeably better than the rest.


i'd still love to pick it up as a secondary unit.
