I have shared your feelings, now move along... the CRT era is over :p

Post by: Flipside on January 03, 2005, 12:20:24 pm: LOL Well, I can't afford to go plasma yet ;)

As for New Years, I seem to remember it was pretty good, although things get a wee bit blurry later on in the evening ;)

Post by: Kazan on January 03, 2005, 12:25:48 pm: ghostavo: not until flatscreens can boast the same refresh rate and color accuracy of my 21" diamondtron
Title: Jeez, my monitor looks huge!
Post by: Ghostavo on January 03, 2005, 12:46:37 pm: Even if it screws your eyes more in the process?

PS.
I believe there are some new LCD monitors that have refresh rate equivalent to that of a CRT, as for color acuracy I have no idea...

Edit : Call me Mr Stroppy, but I get miffed when an obviously dead thread is revived by some idiot just to point out that it should die...

Post by: aldo_14 on January 03, 2005, 04:02:07 pm: All the monitors in Glasgow are 15" for security reasons.

Like in Russia, where they crack the windscreen of new cars to stop it being nicked.

Post by: Clave on January 03, 2005, 04:05:45 pm: One of my LCDs is broken - serves me right for shopping at.....*gag* PC World! :shaking:

It IS frigging annoying - I have 2 x 'identical' Samsung 172v - One made in the UK, and one made in China, and *sigh* the UK one is broke....:mad2: :rolleyes:

Now I have to search through tons of paper to find a receipt :mad:
