OT: 17" CRT Monitors..

[David E. Gervais]

Hi, all

I'll be purchasing a new 17" CRT Monitor in about a weeks time. (My 12 year old 14" is on it's Last legs.)

I have my Eye on a LG T710BH, (current price quote is at $239cdn.) Spec Sheet But there is a ViewSonic OptiQuest Q71 model on sale at $159cdn. Spec Sheet They both have pretty much the same specs, but I have found a few reviews saying that the Q71 is bad at displaying text. (has noticible blur) and it's colors are not as bright as standard crt's (whatever they mean by standard) So I'm hesitant to buy it.

Do any of you have either of these monitors? If so I would like your opinions.

Thanks.

P.S. If you know of any 'other' good valued monitors feel free to share the info.

Cheers!
