15" LCD vs 19" CRT ?

[TechGuru#1]

What does one choose WISER:-

1) 15/17 inch LCD monitor with minimum 8m/s response, or
2) 19 inch CRT monitor

for "TRUE" GRAPHICS & GAMING needs???

 

[mangemayur]

LCD, I Use it man, the quality is too good

 

[vijay_7287]

as of now the CRT still gives the best value for money

if the onus is on gaming, then CRT should be the obvious choice

but remember to make the game look good on a 19 inch crt , u need to to have a gfx card which will perform at high resoulutions
the least being 1024/768

Do consider space required to keep the CRT and power consumed. Also LCD are easy on eye that CRTs. That way a 17" LCD is best buy.

But if u want to watch movies with friends/family on LCD, it is not so good as colors changes when viewing to LCD from different angles.

 

[cvvikram]

Yes one should try for 17' LCD the price has also come down and has many advantages over CRT.

 

[Aniruddh]

yea 17'' LCD monitor with 8ms response time that wud b the best choice.

hey for "TRUE" GRAPHICS & GAMING needs

u get max. from a CRT ... 8)

though LCDs are fast catching up ...

 

[ashnik]

for photoshop and 3Dmax 19" CRT rules

 

[TechGuru#1]

Yes,I wanted a certain PROFESSIONAL aspect into the decision making for a GENUINE GRAPHICS WORK OUTPUT MONITOR,that makes SERIOUS sense in GRAPHICS & 3DJob from PHOTOSHOP,3D-MAX,MAYA,etc & ALSO makes my Heart content while doing some HIGH-SPEED FRAGGING/GAMING

Anyway,LCD advantages nowdays abound,particular in the STYLE element,Radiation & Power factors,though DESKTOP SPACE acomodation is NOT the PRIME factor for me!

So,@the very end,VERY VERY Much Confused over the CRT vs LCD issue!!!

Any more HELP/ADVICE 2 the vexed issue is MORE THAN WELCOME

Go for the LCD.... i'm thinking of getting one too! they don't give current shock when touching the screen do they?

what do u mean by that
can u better explain? abt the current shocks on the monitor

 

[Berry]

sometimes when i touch the screen on my crt i kinda feel a slight current shock....like there was this one time when i was wiping the screen with cloth and i felt a shock like the one when you touch the tv screen after you put it off.

@berry Your CRT's power plug's earth pin is not connected.

If u want to play games on a 17" LCD then u'll need a graphics card capable of 1280x1024( native res for most 17" lcds) for best results, otherwise the display will be blockish. CRTs do not have this prob. Personally I would go for the LCD if I had a good 3d card or if I wasn't about to play games much.

I have been using a gateway vx700 17" aperture grille flat CRT for nearly five years and I am stillvery happy with it.

I will vote for LCD .... I one will be really happy if i can get 1600/1200 resolutions on a 19" LCD.... but hey the prices are too high...

About youn dude right not 19" CRT against 17" LCD.... provided you have a good graphics card and dont mind against the power compsumption.....

 

[TechGuru#1]

I'm MAYBE currently heading for a 19"CRT Monitor,maybe SAMSUNG PROFESSIONAL SERIES CRT,i.e 957 or 997DF,....................& as far FOR GRAPHICS CARD........will 6800GS make it MY DAY on the 19 Incher?

....& as for 17"LCD monitor with less than 8ms r still VERY XPENSIVE considering visa-vis the CRT 19 inchers & Maybe NOT THAT GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY yet!

 

[reddick]

***LCD RULEZ***

 

[Kniwor]

I'd say CRT...
If u dont care about the space required then CRT is ur choice for gaming etc...

and where did you find 19" LCDs with 1600x1200 resolution?

most of the non-widescreen 19" LCDs have a native resolution of 1280x1024

 

[mehulved]

I too feel you should go for LCD unless you want wide viewing angle. That's only the main downside of LCD's as of yet besides the high price.
