Whip out the big 21" or go LCD

Quote from Boomer:

still a lingering question, what are the most important specs.

can someone explain resolution?

what does refresh rate mean?

thanks...

Well if you have a CRT you can adjust resolution and still maintain the same quality. On a LCD if you change from the native resolution you will be losing quality. I like high resolution myself, at least 1280x1024 so I can fit more on one screen.

Refresh rate will effect you on gaming or some DVD movies, also CAD designers where CRT's still rule.
 
Then why do specs of CRT's show a recommended resolution?

Has to do with refresh rates. More flicker at higher resolution I think.

When spending $600.00 plus for a monitor, surely fluorescent tubes can be replaced for under $200.00. If you do-it-yourself probably under $100.00......Why wait for half life?

Hey tech dudes...design a maintenance package for LCD owners...kinda like those inkjet refill kits...You heard it here on EliteTrader....Thank you....Thank you... :)

I can't take the brightness all day anyway. So for me half brightness is just fine. I keep my flat panels at just one notch above minimum and my CRT at minimum.
