the biggest, fastest CRT monitor money can buy :shocked:

I think LaCie make some pretty high-end stuff, have a look at their website
But if he has money to burn, get a very high-end projector *drools*

EDIT: i can't find a CRT bigger than 24"

Get a pair of big CRTs...or a pair of widescreen LCDs...that would be the shit.
Must be nice to have an unlimited budget

According to PC Magazine, some company is developing an LCD with like a 5 ms response time... Forgot when its coming out though.

*EDIT*
Oh, and if he really has a big budget, England is developing an LCD that uses diamond fragments embedded in the moniter to make it look better or something, and can go up to 100" .

Viewsonic is working on a 4ms LCD but I'm not sure what kind of quality it'll be, for a good CRT NEC all the way

 

[theMan]

ok, thanks. ive been looking into either nec or viewsonic probably dual crt.

Just as a note. Any LCD claiming faster response times are either a)Fudging their numbers to look good on paper or b) cutting on other aspects of quality to speed up the response time.
More than likely if a 19" LCD monitor claims faster than a 20ms response time they have very poor lighting, viewing angle, contrast ratio or are running fewer colors.

The best LCD right not for the money IMO is the Dell 1905FP I got for $299
