Oh yes......I did it, I bought myself a new screen for my computer....a 17" Samsung flat panel. Its very cool.....its one of those ones you can rotate the screen and change the ratio to portrait for using with DTP apps.. XLTronic looks much better now!! :) |

Using a monitor in 'portrait' mode is very weird...I'll not keep it in that mode normally, but when I'm creating documents for work and stuff..its great because you can see the full page in full screen mode! *Big grin on face -----> : ) * |

Its quite surprising how much bigger the screen is than my 17" crt monitor....because monitors are never what they say they are - measure the diagonals, all of you who don't believe me! |

well, a typical telivions CRT is measure form the front of the screen, to the rear of the tube, it has nothing to do with screen size, though they tyically are within an inch of each other. a 17" LCD though, is 17" diagnolly. A 17" CRT typically conforms to the TV measurement, though I have seen a few otherwise. |

I thought monitors were measured from one corner of the actual screen to the other, and then the bezel cut down on the visible area? I just got a Samsung 900nf 19 inch monitor. The box was so damn big we could hardly fit it in the car (goddamn Nissan). I'm quite pleased with it so far, though it is a bear to adjust. Lots and lots of settings! Good for picky people like me. The gamma is excellent - you see all the near-black shades without having to bump up the brightness until the black areas look milky. Very nice color too. Convergence and focus gets 4/5 stars, or maybe I have to tweak the adjustments some more and try different refresh rates. I think I got lucky because I've heard that Samsung has some quality control issues with this model... or maybe it was reviewed by stupid people who didn't know what a trinitron flatscreen was supposed to look like. |

OH! You dirty bitch, I could have used you. |

I went a bought myself the Samsung 19" one, the one with the ultra thin bevel. Probably te same design as yours. It's niiiice especially for viewing DVDs and stuff plus I use 3d studio max a lot so it's handy. However I'd recommend all you folk thinking about getting one to wait a bit. The technology isn't quite CRT level yet and it blurs a fair amount with 3D graphics. Ok by 'a fair amount' I mean that you have to be 2 millimeters away from the sreen and have super vision but what can I say, I'm a perfectionist! Enjoy. |

I use 2 screens. The 17" TFT is the same size as my 19" CRT. Now I need to get me the "megademo" of XP Pro and a cheapo GF4. I can't believe XP Home doesn't support 2 monitors. -P |

Also. Flat screens are made for a specific resolution. Like this 17" is made for 1280x1024. If you need to change resolutions alot or play alot of games, maybe a CRT is better. Using any other resolution will cause a sort of crayon effect. -P |

also most current lcds have a response time of 25ms there are one or two that have a response time of 16ms making them almost suitable for gaming i shall buy one within the next 6 months i think, my crt takes up FAR too much space |
