Are you using a CRT or LCD monitor??? - GoFuckYourself.com

pushpills · 01-14-2005, 05:28 AM

I've still been using a CRT, about to treat myself to a 19" LCD though, it's about time, they are pretty low cost now. Don't need the space behind my monitor but the picture is better on LCD and they look cooler so it's time I bought one, my good ol' magview is startin to get screwy on occasion!

What about you?

nofx · 01-14-2005, 05:30 AM

I have two crt's

xxxoutsourcing · 01-14-2005, 05:40 AM

I use both 22inch CRT and 17 LCD when i'm at my workstation.

Rui · 01-14-2005, 05:55 AM

1 17'' TFT on the primary pc, the space saved, the quality of working on it are great

plus my eyes appreciatte it ;)

xclusive · 01-14-2005, 06:12 AM

15inch crt but i have a 20 inch crt in storage in Kentucky which I will be getting back in about a month can't wait

01-14-2005, 06:16 AM

19 inch and a 22 inch LCD. Currently I'm just on my 17 inch laptop. No CRT's to be found anywhere in my house.

Brad Gosse · 01-14-2005, 06:19 AM

I have 2 19" LCD's hooked up to my G5

beemk · 01-14-2005, 06:35 AM

how much can you get a 19" lcd for now?

Cash · 01-14-2005, 06:54 AM

LCD, obviously.

LCD...had to use a CRT with an older Compaq laptop which was not doing well with LCD flat screens, but it blew on New Years weekend, so I am now LCD.

CyberMax · 01-14-2005, 06:57 AM

17'' Lcd

newegg.com has some good prices

320-600. If you want a sony, be prepared to spend extra for the logo on it. I'm probably going to go with the "vision" its only 350 has nice specs and great reviews.

I'd have gotten an lcd sooner but I need at least 19" and couldnt rationalize spending 700 or so on it 6-8 months ago when I still dont need it at all. The only thing behind my desk is a wall, not people walkin by lookin at it.

shuki · 01-14-2005, 07:32 AM

I just ordered 2 sony 19 inch LCD's from newegg. Should arrive on the 18th.

The next question is what dual head vid card to get?

dready · 01-14-2005, 08:10 AM

I'm still using a CRT... Flat panels just aren't of decent enough quality yet. They are getting pretty damn close though... maybe the next generation I'll have to switch. Even now the Samsung 710T's are looking pretty good.

nojob · 01-14-2005, 08:12 AM

I am actually using a laptop now. but on the reg comp there is lcd

s9ann0 · 01-14-2005, 08:13 AM

when I sit in front of a CRT I feel like I am being microwaved

jt420 · 01-14-2005, 08:15 AM

still on crt though im looking to move over to dual lcd soon

dready · 01-14-2005, 08:16 AM

No flatpanel in the world can come close to the image quality of a good CRT.

Shooter · 01-14-2005, 08:16 AM

Used to have a 19" CRT, just got an LCD bout two months ago

okdesign · 01-14-2005, 08:42 AM

I have one LCD and one CRT

tranza · 01-14-2005, 09:38 AM

1 widescreen 17' LCD.

Firehorse · 01-14-2005, 09:40 AM

I am using a Flat Screen LCD, LapTop, and a CRT.

Furious_Male · 01-14-2005, 09:41 AM

19" LCDs here. I am slowly replacing all my work stations with them in both my offices. What a difference.

austinth · 01-14-2005, 09:43 AM

4 17" lcd 3 samsung one sony plus the two laptops so that makes 6

Minte · 01-14-2005, 10:04 AM

all LCD here, 2-19" mitsubishi's at the office and 2-21" viewsonics at home

http · 01-14-2005, 10:11 AM

15" LCD on my notebook

Too bad the graphics card isn't good enough to support a big, external LCD

Jer · 01-14-2005, 10:12 AM

I'm using a CRT, LCDs are expensive here

which did you get?

flashfire · 01-14-2005, 02:19 PM

19" flat CRT and a projector with a 106" screen (not usually for work or GFY)

rickholio · 01-14-2005, 02:20 PM

Hmmm... I don't know how I should vote. I'm using side-by-side LCD + CRT. I suppose I should put LCD, as that's my primary display.

My text looks so beautiful on the LCD sourced from my GeForce 6800OC's DVI-D. I spend all day staring at text while I code, I figure this monitor has bought me an additional few years of usable eyes before I go totally blind. :D

dennisthemenace · 01-14-2005, 02:36 PM

The Sony 21" CRT on my main machine is still kicking so that. On the machine in the living room I have LCD though..

Manowar · 01-14-2005, 02:37 PM

LCD for the past 2 1/2 years

SinSational · 01-14-2005, 02:38 PM

i'm currently using a crt but the thing is on it's way out. still waiting on a couple 17" dell hdtv/lcd monitors to be delivered.

dready · 01-14-2005, 02:39 PM

Damn this thread! I just bought 2 Samsung 710T's because of this thread!

Well I really just needed an excuse... so many things made me wish I had duals again.
