I knew it that you will quote me for that :lol:

I've also used 2 CRT monitors(17" & 19") now I'm using 20" LCD monitor & I really liked this monitor than CRT monitors.

It's very clear, higer resolutions & smaller than CRTs. I don't how to explain this technically.

Sorry man.

Ignore these guys, they seem to think LCD monitors are garbage and will have you think CRTs are the only acceptable form of display. That monitor seems pretty good and is getting good reviews.

Here's a pretty handy tool for monitor comparison:

French, but it's pretty self-explanatory.

TC i would suggest you this monitor.It's a steal for $200.Really fine quality monitor.

Dude, just from reading the Newegg reviews, your monitor looks like it sucks nuts. Non-flat screen meaning image distortion, low resolution, some reviews mention poor quality up close and reflections, low refresh rates meaning lots of flickering... why would you recommend this piece of trash to anyone? I'd rather the colors on my LCD be slightly off (something you don't notice unless you compare with a picture side-by-side) to a distorted picture + flickering + crappy resolutions.

Well actually the best CRT monitors are the viewsonic proffesional series monitors which i cant seem to find.

And it has 12x10 at 85hz and 16x12 at 75hz.Now i know that viewsonic proffesional series has better refresh rates and resolutions than this but how is this bad.:|

I'll take the word of several independent reviews of people who own the monitor, over that of Gamespot's own CRT crusader :roll:

That monitor actually got 5 out of 5 from 55% reviewers and a furthur 4 out of 5 from 24% only leaving a minority who didnt like it.And besides CRT's are NOT as flat as a LCD thus we have people complaining about it when they should have known that CRT's are not as flat as LCD's.It's like someone buying a LCD and then complaining about the native resolution afterwards.

But since the TC has a budget of $300 how about this.

It's an awesome monitor. I've had the LG Flatron 20.1 widescreen for over 1 year now and absolutely love it. It's super bright, colors are beautiful, no back light bleeding and no dead pixels. The response time is really good and it has a very high contrast ratio. I wish I had purchased the 22", but at that time it was much more expensive than it is now. It's actuall the same price I paid for my 20' LG. The only negative I can say about it, is that it doesn't come with a DVI cable. You have to purchase that separately, but you can pick one up for 15-20 bucks.....it's well worth it.

Well the outer glass is perfect flat but notice that the inner isnt.But the fact that you never even noticed it tells that it isnt something to really worry about.Thinker_145

Yes but when you notice it, it is very frustrating. Kind of like how backlight bleeding and dead pixels might be unnoticeable but immediately stand out when you know they're there. Also, I don't know how you can "not notice" since the picture distortion on non-flat CRT monitors (yes, even if it's just the inside) is fairly apparent when looking at it close-up.

Just because it is TN does not mean it is worthless. I have seen very bad TN monitors, specifically a 19" nView monitor for $200.

cons:

A little banding on RGB gradients and a lot of banding on complex color gradients.

Screen did not have a uniform brightness (lighter in the lower left)

A little ghosting, especially white on black

Poor color representation

Native res

pros:

Good black levels and contrast

Bright

Easy on the eyes as most LCDs are

Sharp

It didn't seem that bad for the money. I would personally get a VA screen, but for people who don't care, it is a good deal.

I dont really understand what is distortion.I dont really see anything wrong.BTW are there any CRT's which are 100% flat.I have never seen one.My "the then" expensive 29" flatscreen SDTV doesnt seem to be perfect flat with the edges either.

When I was in the Market to buy a new monitor it was between a 22" Acer & a 22"Samsung. I eventually went with the Acer because of the $80 price difference and I couldn't be happier. Best $250 I ever spent. I don't know what people are smoking but I'd never buy a CRT monitor. Have any of these people tried to move around one of those suckers? Especially a 17" plus? What computer part do you always see people throwing out of the window? A CRT monitor.

However unfortunately there are gamers who think that just because everyone is throwing CRT's away,so they should as well and buy some cool looking LCD to impress there GF.

It seems like a good monitor. 8/10

Here is another one to check out, a bit cheaper. A friend I know has one and it is very nice.
