You are mistaken. The potential maximum resolution is dependant upon individual monitor specifications. I have a 19" monitor and I can run at 1600x1200 because my monitor supports that resolution. My dad has a 19" monitor but he can only run at 1024x768 because that is the maximum resolution his monitor supports.. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Gutang m8 i know i also can run 1600 x 1200 on my 19" but its to small a res i think for 18" viewable picture.

I have a 21' Sony F500R monitor. I can run 2048 res if I turn off fsaa. It runs 75 Hz at that res, and looks pretty good. The bad part of the monitor is the price. I'm hoping it lasts a long time, but i've had it 3 years with 12 hours a day useage. I'm getting worried about it. How long do monitors last?

yes lcd's are still far off from a good crt tube that is a fact and i h8 the ghosting you still get on even top lcd screens, thats a fact hehe

Be realistic. 1600x1200 on a 19" monitor just isn't going to work. Even on the very best monitor, the chances of the beam hitting the pixels perfectly, without electron spray around the shadow mask, are nill.
If you want the high res you need an LCD.
I have one, I run it at 1200x1024, and can see dots long before I'd see them at 800x600 on my old 29" inch monitor.
LCD's are where its at. Anyone who spends $500 on a video card while using a CRT monitor is just missing the point. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
LOL, go and learn about monitors before spouting such pure BS. NO LCD can match the quality of a top class CRT THAT IS A FACT. The only thing LCD's have got going for them is size, you have to pay a massive amount of money for a decent spec LCD and even then it still isn't as good as a decent CRT.
OH and I build/fix/sell PC's for a living and I am talking from experience. Would your 29 inch monitor be one of those with a very low dot pitch (.68 - .74) and a resolution of 800x600? Hardly top class is it?
I am currently running a 19" monitor and it beats even high end LCD's of the same screen size and at a fraction of the cost. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Lol, indeed. LCD is great for the eyes but still a fair way behind the best (and comparitively cheaper) CRT displays for colour and sharpness. It is only the very best LCD displays that have a low enough response time to make games with quick moving graphics playable. I'm looking forward to an LCD in the future, just not until the gap in further narrowed. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
I spent 5 years of my life in a repair depot doing warranty work on CRT's, LCD's, and projectors.
LOL OMG ROFLMAO pwnz0rd!!!111

Industry standard: 2 years.
Before some jackhole e-machines salesman smarts off:
An average CRT can not be aligned to color spec after 2 years of use. Because of this, and because of the way warranties work (send in broken monitor we send you new old stock OR refurb), the life expactancy on any CRT device is only 2 years.
Always get the extended warranty on any CRT device.

Im sorry but whats your point (and is the noob speak really necessary)?
I would have to agree that an LCD monitor is yet to impress me when compared to high quality CRTs.

pwy239487f711rd to you too!!! or whatever that ****e you typed means?
You must not have been good at your repair job because you obviously never got any of them working or you would have seen that CRT screens are higher quality.

CRT are carp.
Even the very best can not ever touch the high-res pixel accuracy of an LCD.
Period.

Well, the popular opinion of this thread is 4-1 against you, so unless you can give some proof stop stating your opinion as fact Baldie.

Well, I don't want to get into the childish ping-pong game, but I just moved from a Panasonic 17" CRT to a Samsung 21.3" LCD.
The LCD shows no ghosting, and the image is far superior.........
