Gallstaff - Aug 26, 2003

		I need a new computer monitor (well it can be used I meant new to me) for under 300 dollars which can display resolutions over 1024x768 and preferbly at least 16 viewable. I know that's asking kind of a lot but those are what I need. Here's other things which would be cool to have: Black color Not flat panel or lcd but flat tubes, like the viewable portion is flat but the monitor itself could be a crt. Over 16 viewable would be cool Thanks guys I really need a new monitor casue this one is a piece of crap.

		I just got a NEC/Mitsubishi 19" (18" viewable) flat CRT for $210 after rebate -- usually $250. It's black and seems pretty nice so far. Comparable to a Sony Trinitron without the extra cost. I still can't recomend getting a LCD unless you need the space and want to sacrafice image detail. Never get a cheap LCD either -- you'll regret it

		I have an LCD right now which I actually like and it takes up not too much space but it still can't beat a good CRT. Can you link me to t his monitor you have? Oh also what's the max res it can go to and what's the max hertz?

		You can still get it with a rebate at Office Max... # Size: 19" # Viewable Image Size: 18.0" # Maximum Resolution: 1600 x 1200 @ 76 Hz # CRT: Shadow Mask Flat # Horizontal Frequency: 31 kHz to 96 kHz # 17.4 in (W) x 17.8 in (H) x 17.9 in (D) I'd still keep the LCD if you can and use it as a second monitor. That's what I might do eventually -- CRT for the main monitor and maybe a LCD for a second display

		A couple of months back i got a VPR Matrix monitor from Best Buy for 99.00 after a 100 dollar mail in rebate. I dunno if you can still get it or how much it is now but these are the specs.. # 16" viewable image size # 1600 x 1200 maximum resolution at 75Hz # .20 horizontal dot pitch (.25 diagonal) # 3-meter (9' 8") extra-long signal cord # 50â160Hz vertical frequency # 30â96KHz horizontal frequency

		I'm not sure if I've seen too many 17" inchers with a flat glass. If I see some, I'll let you know
