I picked up a refurb 21" CRT (IBM P260, Trinitron tube) from Microcenter yesterday and wow is all I can say. I finally don't have to scroll side to side on most web pages, and yeah, games are so much prettier 🙂. The only bad thing is that it weighs 70 lbs, I was scared that it would crack my glass desktop.

Heh, Im stuck on my uncle's 15" CRT at 1024x768 while Im in Florida. I can't wait to be home on my laptop's 1400x1050 LCD.

This thing makes my laptop's 1280x800 screen look like I have the Windows font size bumped up for the visually impaired. I still can't believe how BIG this thing is. 😛
 
Mine is now... (sigh) somewhat dated, and I can only come close at 20", But I've loved my Sony from day one. 🙂

High Res rocks.

I've been meaning to build a machine for my 55" TV (which has computer input capability) To play UT on the 55... priceless. Maybe if I ever have money again, I'll do that.
 
I cant get used to anything over 1024X768, I sometimes have to raise the resolution, but the damn text gets too small to read if I raise it too much.
 
lol, my Mitsu 91TXM 21-incher weighs 95lb :shocked: Mine's not the greatest for text, so I run it at 1280x1024, but games look great at 1600x1200 :thumbsup:
 
Samsung 213T (21.3") at 1600x1200 over DVI rocks as well. 😎

But CRTs still have the edge if you want fine color and no ghosting. :thumbsup:

Congrats on your new acquisition! 😀
 
For text I use my Hitachi 19" @ 1600x1200 @ 75hz

For movies, games & HDTV I use my Optoma H31 & a 92" screen.
My HTPC does a good job with dvd's using ffdshow & zoomplayer Pro I upscale 2.5x & the playback is smooth as silk.

Half Life 2 is really great on that thing, it has some 16:9 resolution choices and I just gotta say IT ROCKS!!!

(I saved up for a long time & sold a lotta stuff on Ebay to get that projector)
 
WTF is with these ultra-high res laptop screens? Are they going for IBM T221 density on portable LCDs these days?!? :shocked:

😀
 
1280x1024 on 2 17"LCD's. THe only thing better then a high resolution, is dual monitor!

I am saving up to go 2x19" LCD!
