I do photo restorations, and use a resolution of 2560 x 1600. Images on my monitor are awesome! I have ATI Radeon X 1900 XTX 512MB graphics card.

I've been using a Viewsonic 17" TFT LCD monitor (VP171b) since 3 years. Never had any problems with it; came bundled with Pivot software to view spreadsheets in landscape mode. Well worth the relatively higher price for similar sized monitors.

And what can I say, it makes a WONDERFUL TV, not just a excellent PC screen to look at, but it surpasses my old Magnavox 27" LCD which has very poor SD content performance. Sure up close you can see some "errors" in the pictures, but if you sit back at a normal TV watching position (3-4ft) you can't see them and it looks just as good as mid range tube TV.
HD content is out of this world and its a real 1900x1200 HD 1080i by the way, no ED LCD monitor here!

I got a sweet deal on (2) Compaq CV735 15" monitors 3 years ago when I worked at a technology store. They have been, and still are working great.

22" X2gen LCD; it replaced a 21" Sony CRT which I loved and had for many years. The LCD is unbelievably brighter; the specs are 1000:1 contrast. 500 cd/m2 brightness, 1680 x 1050 resolution, & 5 ms response. So far (1 month), so good.

Samsung SyncMaster 191Tplus. Have it since it came out and no problems sofar. The monitor can be moved 90 degrees in either direction, great for typing long letters or reading long articles.
Great!!

I have a Balance Digital Technology LCD monitor on my computer. I am less inclined to watch movies on my computer even though I have a TV Capture Card installed. I guess my eyes prefer a larger screen say around 27" or larger.

I have a rather large, bulky 19 inch Dell Trinitron that my son purchased for me for $10.00 at a university "bargain barn". What a great buy!! I love it. I use AutoCAD and SolidWorks and the size of the screen and the resolution are wonderful.

I have a 19in wide screen View Sonic & the display is great! I picked this LCD monitor because of the reputation of zero dead pixels & they were right. And the model that I purchased VA1912wb was the only one left on the shelf, so it was an open box & works great. I switch hook-ups between my desktop & laptop and the display still is great no matter which computer I use. I most definitely recommend this monitor to anyone who wants one that they don't have to worry about, easy to hook-up & configure.
Why don't anyone build any larger screens than my 22"?

Why don't anyone build any larger screens than my 22"? This is a minimum with all the extra windows nowadays.

I think this flat screen, pivotable (from landscape to portrait), height adjustable, tiltable (both top-to-bottom and side-to-side) is the greatest thing since microwave ovens were invented. After struggling with desk-space-wasting, behemoth, hot monitors for 25 years, you couldn't pay me to go back.
It is perfect for both my image work and my spreadsheet programs, which are my two primary uses.

I have an E-machines 15" LCD monitor. I like the fact that it is lightweight and uses less energy than a CRT. My workspace is crowded and a CRT would not give me enough room. I leave the monitor on all the time. The only drawback is you have to be centered at the correct distance from it (about 2 feet) or you lose visability quickly.

I use it to adjust scans of watercolors for artists most of which I print on an Epson wide format printer. High quality stuff. It's a great flat screen CRT monitor but I would like to go to a non CRT flat screen that would have equal color representation which is really important in what I do. Any graphic artist found one that works well? Regards, Fran

The monitor of my main computer is only 17 inches CRT. Its okey for now becuase at this time i can't afford to buy a LCD monitor. So far it is good the only i don't like is it occupy to much space on my table. Not like LCD monitor it is already DVI digital and soft to our eyes and occupy small space.

I have been using my monitor for 13 years now. It's a Nanao FlexScan F760i-W 21" CRT monitor. I would put this monitor up against any new HD, plasma or LCD any day. The only thing I don't like about it is it weighs a ton and not easy to move around. Never have had a problem, knock on wood, and expect to get several more years of service.

I have a Dell 19 inch flat screen crt.
It is a Sony Trinitron rebadged monitor.
It is now 5 years old and its wonky power supply setup is starting to fail (thank you, Sony) It still has a wonderful picture, though.
I would like a 19 inch LCD, but i waited too long and most of the ones now available are these silly wide screen thingys.
I have a 42 inch plasma for dvd and hd viewing. Why watch videos from the desktop?
Maybe I am just getting old. LOL
