I've been thinking of trading up from my 19" monitor to a 21"... i'm wondering what's a good choice?

It has to be a CRT monitor tho...

my current monitor is a 19" Samsung SyncMaster 955DF (pure flat tube)

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Well, I personally think that anything more than 19" is excessive... hurts my neck looking all around it trying to find my mouse pointer. :D But I suppose it would be pretty cool for all your digital art doohickeys. Go with Sony, don't mind being broke afterwards. ;)

well, I've constantly heard how Samsung has nice quality vs. price...

indeed, i'll think i might stick with the 19" as the samsung 21" model isn't a perfect flat tube..;)

now, those 24" TFT's....:drevil:

What you need is some sort of Uber Projector, that can handle 3200 X 2400, and can project onto the side of a building!

BTW, if you put 640*480 on a 21" monitor, how big would the start button be?

Big, believe me.

Large monitors look crap at lower resolutions, similarly a 15 inch running at 1600x1200 is also a terrible idea.

Mine's having difficulty with 1024*768! I'll have to get a new one, the lower right corner flickers like it's at about 32Hz.

Is it common to find an annoying pink pixel in the centre of TFT monitors? I know my Dad's last two have had them, and have had problems with like a ghost effect on the screen. Those two things put me off buying one.
