The higher the contrast ratio the better. As far as I remember, the
LCD jobs are designed to be operated only at the stated maximum
resolution. Any lower resolution will result in poor display quality. I recommend ViewSonic for everything, but I have no actual experience
with the LCD monitors. After agonizing for months, I decided to get a
19" ViewSonic A90f+ monitor ($279) rather than the equivalent size LCD
unit ($600++). It's a big improvement over my old 17" monitor. The diplay is
sharper
at 1280x1024 than may old monitor was at 1024x768. Of course, I
needed to increase font sizes for the browser and sylpheed.This is what I wanted to know. My, soon to be, 60 year old eyes don't take kindly to strain and small fonts. I currently have a 19" crt and the price of 18"+ lcds does give me pause.
personally, i don't see the great attraction to LCD monitors. sure they're lighter & smaller physcially than CRTs, but once you get past that, they really don't perform anywhere near as well (refresh rates for starters) as CRTs, they cost significantly more, and they don't support high resolutions (1600x1200 for starters).
