June 17, 200916 yr Hello All, Everything in the world has a 'service life' and my 22" CRT monitor has gone to monitor heaven. My other two monitors are also CRT's, but I guess CRT's are a thing of the past, LOL, ( I am getting old), so a new one will be a LCD. I'm thinking of a 22-24" widescreen replacement. My budget is really small . . . any suggestions? A blury, bad contrast cheapo is not needed, no matter how good the price.....but price IS an issue. thanks in advanceClay

(You mention two other CRTs) The attached pic shows my mix- a 9 yr old KDS CRT plus ACER and IBM LCDs. They work together just fine- with a bit of colour and brightness balancing you can't tell them apart. Both have 8ms response times.The IBM 17 was a used monitor (to replace another KDS CRT & save some space) and cost just $75! (There are always used LCDs on our local "Used" website.)Alex Reid(Excessive blue tones in dig/pic due to outside light)
June 18, 200916 yr Alex,That sure sounds like a bargin . . . I'll start looking around for a used LCD . . . CRT's seem to be gone with the wind, LOL. Nice 3 monitor display you have.Thanks, Clay

June 18, 200916 yr Hey, AlexWhat kind of reciever is that in the upper left. Looks like one I had many years ago.Bob---------------------Bob- it's an ancient "Technics by Panasonic" receiver/amp- vintage early '80s. It drives a 12" speaker under my desk plus a homemade 10" sub/sub woofer bolted to the underside of my chair. This latter sends "good vibrations" to my elbows through the chair arms. Wouldn't sim without it! And generally produces a big grin from visitors!!!Alex Reid
