    Isn't 19' LCD enough?
    I don't use ICQ anymore.

      isn't 21" too big? 19 is more than big enough for me.. maybe the widescreen 21?

            19's do the job but 21's do the job better and are worth the investment. Especially good for someone like me who does 10 things at once with no less than 50 windows opened at all times

                Each to his own I guess, but I prefer my 17" flat.
                I design logo's.

                      21' is too big, the 19' monitors are perfect size.

                        I'm on 19 crt, imo 21 would be much nicer.

                          The 21' must be high quality lsd otherwise it may get blurry. I am using 1600 x 1200 resolution and the monitor about 3 feet away from me. Can see everything in a whole new way

                            I bought my samsung 213T from a reputable electronics store with all intensions on living in luxery for 2 weeks and then returning it the same day the money back gaurantee expired. It was the most expensive one in the store and definately not something my budget could afford. Well I accidently missed the return date and got stuck with it. Not many regrets as the extra multitasked work I can get done with this monitor is starting to be worth it and I have only had it a few months. Like I mentioned, if your the type of guy with 50 windows open doing many things on your computer at once, a 21" lcd is for you.

                              I saw at Futureshop (Bestbuy) a Samsung 21" LDC.. It was like 2000$ CAD... It still doesn't worth it on the LCD

                                  Thats the one I got, cost me more than any other peice of machinery I own, maybe even double any other peice of machinery I own, but I think it was worth it. I haven't even used the tilt option yet

                                    Future shop sucks, I bought a crappy computer from them and I opened the box up to back up my old computers harddrive and then I lost the single hand twisting screw that holds the computer box together and when I tried to return it because of its crapness (never buy a compaq), they said they cannot accept it because the box was opened (i could have simply screwed it back in). There was no seal, warning, or anything preventing the box from being opened and its obvious that people like to add upgraded components to their computer and you have to open the box to do it. I don't even keep the box on my computer any more, thats how much i access it.


                                    I just left the computer there and called the manger the next day and after 2 weeks I eventually got a refund - a 25% restocking fee. To bad I paid cash

                                    Never buy a computer from future shop, not only because of their service and pushy sales people but because their computer sucks. Get one custom made or get a friend to recommend a good package on eBay

                                        The 22" IBM thinkvision is a good buy for flat CRT - under $600. Excellent quality picture.

                                            Just replaced my Dell 21" CRT by a Benq 19" LCD : same working surface, but much clearer.
                                            Also replaced the 17" Viewsonic CRT by a 15" KDS with speakers ( editing unit ).
                                            Clears up the office.

                                                Here's my monitor, it kicks ass !! You have to get used to the 1200X1600 resolution due to it's aspect ratio.

                                                    Where can I get some of this high quality LSD?

                                                    I'm on a 17 I believe, but I have been searching for a 21 for about a week now. So far I found some nice CRTs that aren't so exepensive. I'm proably going to get it soon

I'm much happier with the dual LCD for obvious reasons. However, I need a dual digital DVI card, the secondary monitor doesn't match the primary for color at all because it's analog. But it still looks great.

                                                                                      21" CRT and 19" lcd are about the same. The LCD is about ."5 smaller (CRT's measure the plastic too and LCD's only measure the screen).

                                                                                      I have a 21" CRT and I 19" LCD. CRT's look better but I didnt have room on my desk for another CRT so I did this and I like it a lot. Although I like LCD's at a higher rez so it looks kinda crazy.

They're good, but the digital LCD is better IMO. A regular analog LCD sucks ass for digital photo editing though, I agree.

                                                                                              i have work printed by a few high end local labs - they all use crt's too

They're good, but the digital LCD is better IMO. A regular analog LCD sucks ass for digital photo editing though, I agree.

                                                                                                  Can I have them? I'll buy a new desk just to accomodate them.
