Flat Planel Displays Are WAY Better
 

I have been using a flat panel monitor now for about two months and I have to say, when going back to a CRT monitor I much prefer the flat panel.

ehhh not, CRTs have higher resolutions, no blurring, and are cheaper. You should have gotten yourself a nice 22' CRT and you'd be alot happier now.

And can be viewed from the sides.

cant believe I forgot about that

So in conclusion unless you have to fit your computer into a closet, a flat panel display is not the way to go.

I prefer the LCD panel. I use an LCD monitor at work and a CRT at home. The only trouble with LCD is that if you use any resolution lower than the maximum, sometimes things come out a bit fuzzy. Also, my monitor has a stuck pixel. Still, I like the color and sharpness of the LCD.

Oh yeah that too, if you don't run the LCD at its native resolution you get major fuzziness

Looking at my flat panel monitor, 1280x1024 is plenty for me, I see no blurring at all, 17" is quite large enough, the picture stays perfectly clear at a considerably wider angle than I would ever need it to, and it's a whole lot lighter and takes up much less desk space than a CRT would. All this for considerably less than $300. I think I would save little more than $100 by getting a comparable CRT, and it would be much less convenient to move or arrange things around.

Flat screen, no warping, better color, no bluring, better graphics resolution, NOW WARPING, cost less to run, take up less space, and cost about the same now as a 21" CRT.

You cant argue with my 20" flat panel this dell is the best thing I ever bought. lets hope SE5 can play in 1600x1200.

No black bands at the edges of the screen, far more crisp image, elegant design etc.
