What models/makes you got?

Still on my Mitshubishi Diamond Plus 220, has a chip in the screen but it's pretty sweet. Going to get a 24" LCD eventually when I stop playing games, but right now this is the best thing going.

Pictures look sweet as well, where did you grab them from, MSW?

I got a couple of Samsung monitors which are nice and sharp. Then there's a Dell OEM monitor that runs at 100Hz (Got those three and three other older CRT's for free). That big, black IBM monitor's a 21" Trinitron display that I got from a tag sale for $5.

You oughta join a grammar forum. And then they'd get mad at you for spelling the word color wrong. :canada:

or maybe you can go off to the center for the mentally ill since you don't know the difference between grammar and spelling among other things

You'd make a bad comedian.

Centr-

Don't tell me you were about to turn this thread into a giant "American spellings vs. English spellings" heated debate...

(As if this wasn't a heated debate already, of course. It's a MW thread, what do we expect?)

On the topic of CRTs I've been pondering about getting a monochrome one and using it as a secondary display to display random stuff (like resource usage or something)

Some nice monitors there then if they're samsung, heard great things about them. Going dual-mon again tonight with my Mitshubishi/Formac. Also working on a spreadsheet containing all the CRTs and relative information that I can find/be bothered to do, may need your input!

Back to LCDs for a sec-I found something distinctive in a local computer shop.

Unfortunately, it was TN, poor vertical viewing angles and all. No DVI ports, either-just VGA. 15", 1024x768. $150. And yet I'm considering it ever-so-slightly.

Why? When I noticed a pen holstered in the side, I was expecting some sort of cheap drawing tablet monitor...right up until I saw a "Wacom Penabled" badge in the lower-right corner. This is basically an offshoot of a Cintiq 15X, and I did some quick Internet price-checking to get a value estimate. The cheapest one I saw was about $200, possibly more for shipping.

It might work out for me as a secondary desktop PC monitor. (No way in hell I'd replace either of my 21" FD Trinitron G1s with it as a main monitor, of course.) On the other hand, I already have a Tablet PC to work with. On the OTHER hand, hooking such a monitor up to my desktop allows for pen-on-screen input without a relatively weak sauce computer driving it.

That seems like an interesting monitor. I've also heard of external touch-screen CRT's.

Yeah, the Samsung tubes are nice and sharp. They're good monitors.

Are you going dual-monitor with CRT's or LCD's?

CRTs, although I need a converter it seems, got 1x DVI, 1xHDMI and 1xDisplayPort on my GPU, so gonna have to pay £25 or something to use these two bad boys, pictures when I paint the little patch of wall (Saturday).

You could use a cheap little adapter that will allow you to plug in a VGA into your DVI port. With many video cards, if you hook up a monitor to the VGA and another to the DVI, you can work out a dual monitor set-up rather easily.
