Looking for a 19 or so.. I think thats the one im picking up. and ive read "great" things about it. Beyond 1 review every review has been "Cheap, Quality, No Ghosting, Bright ass color" so quality isnt my worry.
My worry, is im comming from a 19" CRT. Im losing 2 inches to gain 1. Think ill notice tons?
Been trying to find a refurb 20.1 but been unlucky, and 350+ isnt really in the budget atm.

I have a 17 inch Sony LCD, before I had a 19 inch CRT - I notice no difference really...and I love the Sony Xbrite screen (some people hate that 'glossy' look, but I love it.)
I think you'll really like the Viewsonic.

Hope so.. I love my viewsonic CRT (Pro series P95F+). Totally insane resolutions it supports, 2056, yeah, it supports it. and the color is great. im just hoping i dont go "FUCK MAN ITS SO SHORT HOLY" >_<
Edit: Im slightly drunk atm, so i may not make much sense sometimes

I doubt it will feel smaller to look at because it's widescreen.

Very tall if you flip the screen around 90 degrees!

I stopped by the mac department at Micro Center a few weeks ago and didn't want to leave. 30" sounds small but for a computer monitor, that thing is fucking gigantic. Sadly, it costs about as much as a used car.

Yeah, but it's less than the 1D Mark II N I'm considering getting in a couple of months

Do those cameras actually pay for themselves in your case?

hey dumbass... a 19" LCD has more viewable area than your 19" CRT. Especially if its wide-screen.

Im using a Mirai 19" widescreen.. good 8ms response, good price.
Only downer is that you cant lower/heighten the screen, only flip it back and forth.

Hey dumbass, please go read up on 19" widescreens..
You lose 2 full inches from top to bottom, but gain 1 inch wide..
Seems you failed math..

that, and its a no-name piece of shit with a bunk warranty.
Yes, but sadly not everyone can fork out 400+ for a high end lcd.
Thankfully viewsonics really on the cheap with this one, and they happen to be REALLY good about warranty issues.
Mirai tho? Seriously wth?

I got my 19" 4ms/1400:1 LG for $288.00 at Best Buy. Granted, it's not wide screen. But it was cheap for a 4ms LCD. :icon26:

that's ok if it's all you afford. but what you don't have is a pair of 2" titanium alloy multifollicular orbiforms with the 10" docking pod allowing high bandwidth fluid transfer to a lubricated socket
granted, it's not wide screen, but you wouldn't understand anyway

Look at you chasing me from thread to thread, trying to bad mouth me and using your broken logic of "If you respond, you're flamebait".
You're pathetic.
