New monitor
I resisted this about as long as I could, but after Dan urged me to do it, I caved in. 22" 1080 Samsung widescreen. Brilliant resolution and color, I feel naughty.
The added bonus, my 19" LCD is now with my Retro Machine! I was afraid the S3 Trio video card would not work with a modern display, but it does. |

I still live with a 19" CRT.
Quite happily, I might add. It takes up a bit of space, but it has a great picture.

Ughh, complications
The 19" Samsung 931B that I moved to my old Win95 Retro Machine... when I plays some games, such as Tom Clancy's SSN, a popup appears "Optimum resolution is 1280x768 60Hhz" (or something similar) and will not go away. Of course, in the Windows environment I can set the res and refresh and the monitor is happy, but some older games set the res and refresh and the ^%#)*&^ popup will not go away. Any ideas? Are there older or smaller flatscreens I should try? |
