If you can, stop by an Apple Retail Store and check out the 20"
Cinema Display. It's fully compatible with both Windows and Mac OS
systems, standard DVI connection, and the quality is superb. They
sell for less than a CRT of comparable quality ($799 retail list in
the US), and have better gamut and resolution than all but the high
end CRTs costing $1000 or more. They're also much more stable on
adjustments.
Comparable monitors from Sharp and Sony are also available.

Actually, I am planning to change my complete

buy the 'readily available' kit at all these
electronics shops. I want to buy a good quality
monitor.
Which is the real good one ?
What is the criteria ?
To what extent CRT and LCD matters ?
My use - well, lot of photography (amateur, of course)
and obviously my family members will use it for their
regular browsing on net etc etc ...
Thanks in advance.

Make sure you buy something NEW - not used.
I have been absolutely delighted with these
DELL P991s CRTs I got off ebay. They are super
trinitions
19" (18" viewable). They can be found on ebay
at very reasonable prices now...

Subject: OT: Cheap Monitor
I have a HP Pavilion, with a 17" quite decent
monitor (actually I am not
sure
it's a 15", but not quite sure how to measure it).
Only I've had both for
about, hmmm, four years. I've been told/read the HP
monitors are actually
Trinitron.
I've been quite happy with the monitor. Only now the
horizontal hold is
going. Actually, not sure what it is called. It's
not exactly vertical hold,
but
sometimes boxes coming up on the screen (dialog box
type of things), the
right
side of the box it is not always straight. It curves
in and out a bit. I
keep
adjusting the horizontal stretch part of my monitor
and that straightens it
up
for a bit.
But it means it is going to get worse. No point in
having it fixed, since
some monitors are really cheap now. Only I was
looking on the Net and LCDs
are
selling better.
Personally, for extended use, not just doing
photography, but programming,
using word processing/spread sheets, I prefer a CRT.
It seems much easier on
my
eyes. LCDs, to my eyes, don't have enough "depth."
And a lot of LCDs are expensive. The ones that may
be easier on the eyes
are,
anyway.
This CRT at Circuit City seems okay.

But I also want to get something decent for
processing digital photographs.
It would probably be fine, because my current HP
monitor is fine. And I use
my
monitor for a lot more than processing photographs,
photography probably
works
out to only 10-20% of my use. Or less.
Just wondering if anyone has that particular model,
or has some other
recommendation.
Also looks like if I want a CRT I better move quick,
because they seem to be
disappearing.
