Welcome me to the year 2000 and something - finally got an LCD monitor. . .

[episodic]

My CRT was like 5 years old. Just got a cheap 17inch lcd - and hey! I can SEEE. . . .

Ouch. Mine was a 17" CRT. . .

The colors were starting to fade if you know what I mean. . .

Same. My Viewsonic A90 is still plenty.

Was everything looking flesh colored?

Well, I can vouch the ones that staples has now for 169$ are really nice. I know it doesn't have DVI, but hey, I'm not hardcore or anything. Just wanted something easier on the eyes. There are no dead pixels on this, and it has a 3 year warranty which is nice.

Welcome.

Invest in oil, and go to the world trade center. Enjoy your stay.

Something like that. . .

I've recently really got into photography, so it was a real bummer. I'm flipping through some of my pics full screen and it is like nite and day. As I said, I can see!

Porn tends to look that way.

I got my first LCD this year....but it was replacing a beautiful 21" flat screen Trinitron, so my hesitation is understandable.

It's not as vibrant as the Trinitron, or as good in games, but at least it fits on my desk

I don't really want one. I still dig my 2040u. Mabey when it burns out.

Yea I can remember that Trinitrons were the shiznit a few years ago. I never could afford em though haha. . .

I've been using the same 17"lcd for 5 years or so. Now I want those gigantic 20+" widescreen dells... well, a man can dream.

Nor do I.

Still have a probably 8 year old Sony 19" 420GS trinitron moniter for my main computer, and an Iiyama 22" 510 for my work computer.

Still happy as can be, is there any reason to upgrade?

Thanks though for reminding me to do a degauss and image restoration on it.

I can tell you from personal experience that those widescreen Dells are hot sex.

[DainBramaged]

I don't even own a computer.

 

[Howard]

I'm very happy with my 19" CRT.

 

[episodic]

My computer is next. I'm running a socket 754 sempron 2600 64. . .

I've got my eye on a high end Celeron D now . . . better at video editing. . .

 

[imported_LoKe]

I still have my 19" Dell CRT. I'm not having any problems.

 

[neutralizer]

That's alright. I didn't switch to LCD until last year. Of course, I made sure it was awesome. 2005fpw ftw.
