What size and kind of monitor do you have?
Aug 19, 2005 1:22AM PDT

I have a 21 inch Apple plasma and I love it. It hardly takes up any room on my desk. I had a large 17 inch monitor and it took up so much room I didn't even have a place to write or use my Wacom Intutos tablet when I was working in Photoshop. I recommend them very highly.

Monitor
Aug 19, 2005 1:24AM PDT

I have a StarLogic 17" LCD that I have had for 11 months. I only paid $199. I was taking a chance, but have not regreted it. I will never use anything but flatscreens.
I only wish I could find a way to "fine tune" it. Can't find their website or any information on the net about this monitor. So if anyone has info, please let me know:

19'' HP HP f1905 LCD
Aug 19, 2005 1:48AM PDT

I love it as it takes up less space on my computer table however I can not understand why some web pages do not fill the entire screen. Looks a little odd that
it only uses ? of the viewing area.
Also I would like to be able to set the text fonts a little larger for me to be able to see but for some reason it states I have them on the largest and they are only about 8 pt.
Any advise here!!!

Hi everyone,

For the past 3 years I've been using a 17 in. hp pavilion mx70 CRT model. I know I should take it back to the museum where it belongs.

19 " Samsung LCD
Aug 19, 2005 2:20AM PDT

I bought my 19 " Samsung about 2-3 years ago and it is very good,but I could do without the rotating feature. This allows me to set the screen as "portrait" instead of "landscape ".

20" Gateway (Sony) CRT
Aug 19, 2005 2:22AM PDT

It's big as a blue whale, but it's nice. I run it at 1600x1200 with no trouble at all, even for my old eyes.

I paid about $1,000 for it years ago but I see them off-lease now for under $50. I want a good LCD someday, as this thing is so massive it makes the earth's orbit wobble.

I have two 17" LCD's
Aug 19, 2005 2:38AM PDT

Started with one 21" Hitachi that I have had for 5 years now. Great monitor, but weighs in at 60#. Added a new video card with dual outputs and got the first 17" LCD. After one week, retired my 21" Hitachi and got a second 17" LCD.

I use a ViewSonic 19 inch CRT monitor on my main computer. I also have a KDS 17 inch CRT for my inoperable Linux machine, which I hope to have running as soon as I get the motherboard replaced.

More important than anything is brand/ IMHO ViewSonic is the only way to fly.

I have seen plenty of out-of-focus, irregular colors on friends monitors.......but my little baby delivers perfectly in every concept.

Very satisfied, particulary with the ability to physically turn the screen from landscape to portrait which is in use most of the time.

dual screens

Maybe you should also ask how many have dual monitors...I have dual 19" screen instead of a larger single screen.

Dual screens are great!!!
Aug 19, 2005 4:50PM PDT

I use 2 screens, a Benq 791 LCD and a Samsung Syncmaster 753DFX both in 1280x1024 and it is great to have 2 windows side by side, it makes things really easy when doing work/assignments. Sometimes it is difficult to go back to 1 screen Sad

dual monitors rock
Aug 20, 2005 4:01PM PDT

I've had dual monitors (both 19" at 1280x1024) set up for about a year now, and I couldn't go back to a single. In fact, I'm now wishing I had the triple monitor video card installed.

SONY Premierpro SDM-P234/B 23 in. TFT LCD Monitor
Aug 19, 2005 4:32AM PDT

Paid way too much when I bought it. Prices dropped around $800.00 within a few months of purchase. It works great when working on two projects at a time.
Excellent for games....sometimes too big. Makes you dizzy during very active games.
Wouldn't trade it for the world though !!

Since you asked
Aug 19, 2005 4:41AM PDT

I'm using a Dell 1905FP LCD, a 19 inch unit. I usually run it at 1024 X 1280 (Portrait) for Internet and word processing,and 1280 X 1024 (Landscape) for other apps. At my age I have cranked up the DPI to 125%, which I also did on my old 17" CRT running 1024 X 768.

An unclear 770FS
Aug 19, 2005 5:57AM PDT

My budget dictated I buy a cheapie when my old one went south. I got a MAG Innovision 770FS on sale and it is about the most unclear monitor I've ever seen.

All of my kids' and grandkids' monitors put mine to shame and even though my model has about every on-screen adjustment possible I can't adjust it to be clear.

I can't afford to dump it as long as it works, but it is a pain to continue with the fuzzy text on this critter.

Yeah, I've checked the whole Internet for a solution with no success. I guess it's just a second rate model which never should have been put on the market.

Maybe Santa Claus will... Happy
