displaying pictures/videos. Far more brighter, clearer and crisper than on a LCD monitor.

Just fooling around with linux on an older 'puter using a 19" GEM (cheap) Monitor. I saw some pics here on JUB I've seen many times on my other computer/ 19" LCD Viewsonic and WOW!! Been missing a lot...
 
Yup, everyone tried to get me to buy an LCD monitor, I bought a 21" CRT





I loves me CRT :luv:

You know that the quality of TFTs depends on which technology is used? "TN + Film" has a fast response time, is cheap and mainly used for gaming, but the colour/contrast quality sucks if you want to do graphical work. "MVA"/"PVA" is mid-class and "IPS"/"S-IPS" has the slowest response times, but is used in monitors for professional graphical work.

Get an expensive TFT of good quality and it will be as good as your CRT (and easier on the eyes).

Then you have a crappy LCD monitor... If you spend some money on a decent LCD, you don't have those problems. I recommend SONY or SAMSUNG.

Spend your money on a new monitor and English lessons.

I bought an older second-hand 17" TFT and the quality difference to my main 20" one is clearly visible. If you move your head to the side or up/down, the 17" the screen becomes all yellowish and the contrast goes up, you nearly just see dark and light yellow pixels. I don't have that problem on my 20", you can look at it from any angle you want and the picture quality stays the same.

There are HUGE quality differences in TFTs. Don't get fooled by fast response times (newest monitors now have 4ms) and cheap prices. My 20" has a response time of 25ms yet still I can watch videos clearly at good contrast.
 
^^ best I remember around $650.00US

Maybe it is getting dimmer, dunno, hard to tell.

The vid card isnt great, maybe thats it. It's a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128Mbs

The vid card in the other box with the CRT is an ATI 7500 64Mbs
 
A while back I bought a SGI 24" wide screen CRT monitor with a sony trinitron tube from a friend. It's an awesome monitor, everyone that sees it freaks out because most have never seen a wide screen CRT. I'm convinced that this will be the best monitor that I'll ever own.
 
I used to have an 18" CRT monitor. Loved it for its higher refresh rates (85hz and above) which imo helps with fast paced first person shooter games. Specially online fragging. But it started freaking out, making weird popping noises and the picture would wig out, so I bought a Samsung 20" LCD. Native resolution is 1600x1200. Very crisp image. Besides some slight color banding and black level ghosting (just like a plasma TV) its a great upgrade. My desk thanks me. That old CRT weighed like 50lbs.
 
I worked for a photo studio in the summers after high school. They had a 21" CRT (ViewSonic) that got calibrated regularly, and they also got one of the (25"?) Apple LCD's at the time when they were brand new. The Apple LCD looked really good. But I always preferred the 21" CRT. I guess what I liked was that they were just the tiniest bit fuzzy...just enough to take out some of the harsh sharpness that some of the early LCDs had.

Today, I have a 21.3" 4:3 Samsung 214T. I absolutely love it. What would make it even better were if my laptop had a DVI output instead of VGA. I've seen this thing when it's connected to a DVI output, and it's just plain stunning. It really disgusted me when I was looking for it, because in CAD work a widescreen doesn't help--I wanted a 4:3, and I got it.

I highly recommend Samsungs, as I now also have a 32" LCD TV.
