Best CRT Monitor?

The Deceived · 08-23-2005, 08:36 PM

Hi all! I have just realised that I cannot afford the Viewsonic VX924 TFT LCD 19" 4ms Response Time monitor, and so I am going to have to down grade to a cheap CRT monitor until I can svae up some money.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what CRT monitor to get for my PC? I am looking at a price budget of £80 - £100 (which I know isn't much, but that's all I can affod at the mo

)

As I don;t kno much acbout CRT Monitors, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

8ms aint bad either, i didnt experience ghost, try think of getting a 8ms 19in before going CRT, viewsonic crt's pretty good. been using it for a year before switching to LCD.

There is a nice hyoundi lcd for 450 dollers with 8ms response time and 700:1 contrats ratio, not sure if that is in your budget. I dont own one, but it recieved very good ratings since it came out.

Maybe it was 350, i'll have to check

Oops, saw your budget

My LCD has a 8ms response time and it is one of the best gaming LCD monitors out there. No ghosting at all. I used to think I would always like CRT's better, until I got my current LCD and I don't think I could go back to a CRT.

i bought one of those, i might in the future buy another for dual view. i think the price for it lowerd long ago. it was 350 when i bought mines months ago.

Yeah, I looked into getting the Hyundai, but yet again, my budget cannot extend to one of them

Does anyone know anyone who might be selling a 19" LCD monitor?

Thanks very much!
