No more CRT

Well I finally purchased an LCD monitor.

We have them at work ranging from 19” to 24” but they are of older technology and I wasn’t that impressed with the picture they gave. Now that the prices have came down and the quality has improved I went shopping and found this 22” wide screen.

I’m Nvidia 7800GS is driving this monitor and doing a great job. Some tweaks to brightness, digital vibrance and image sharpening the display is better then my old trusty CRT.

I’m impressed!

I'm thinking I used that 19" & 17" crt dual for 8 years or so, wow I have desktop room now!

Congrats

I just recently got rid of my CRT for a 20" LCD and love it.

Thanks DT..

Now I see the need for more HP under the hood, but we will always play that game

I went from a 19" CRT to a 22" Samsung LCD a few months ago, and its heaven.

It's amazing how much room you get back on your desktop when you swap from a CRT to an LCD
