Display Dilemma

[vesther]

I do gaming on my PC, and I was going to consider obtaining a Flatbed LCD Monitor because my KDS 17" Monitor produces excessive glare when it's too bright. Do you think I should get a Flatbed LCD Monitor, or do you think I would be safe to get a CRT Flatscreen Monitor? If you want me to get a Flatbed, what brand and size I should go for? If not, why should I stick with a CRT Monitor? If I want to upgrade my CRT Monitor, should I get a CRT Flatscreen?

if your doing gaming i would stick with a crt lcd displays have the edges of things get all funky when your not running at the specified resolution and games use alot of different resolutions

you're also going to be able to get a larger crt for the price of a smaller lcd. theres also probably something you can get to reduce glare. i know 3M makes some.

personally, i love LCD's but if you're a gamer a CRT offers the best bang for the buck.

you can get LCD's that have minimal ghosting but they are still expensive in comparison. for CRT's, i always reccomend that people first try to find a local store to buy from. you save a bit in shipping costs and because CRTs are sensitive hardware, you'll have an easier time exhanging/returning it.

samsung & viewsonic are the two leaders in price performance and quality in this area...

You can get 2 or 3 used 21" trinitrons for the price of a good LCD.
I got the Sun in the first link, and it is just like new.
