What is cheap for a 1600X1200 LCD monitor? Most are 1280X1024 tops. if you go CRT I say get a high quality brand like NEC?MITSI_SONY?LACIE. with at least 85 refresh at 1600X1200. My 22" sony flat crt has 1600X1200 at 100 solid and crystal clear for a crt that is looks better than crt on dark levels, and I personally like dvds better on crts, especially dark scenes, i guess its the LCD Pixels i notice that i dont see on the CRT"S. and 2048X1536 at 86 which is still quite clear. but my system is too weak to play games that high.
Actually I want the 23" also.
But CRT, at least the newer ones like the Lacie with Flat screens, super bright technology, are really very good, bright and easier on the eyes than many will let you believe, but it seems almost everyone that gets an new LCD, really down talks CRTS, the one they had was probably old in the tooth though. dont forget no problems with dead pixels, looks good at all resolutions from 600 to 2000 never blurry or kids poking pens at your screen and too heavy and big to steal. all said I will keep my CRT and hopefully add an LCD next year for the best of both worlds.
