Hitachi 751 19 inch 18 inc viewable.

IT IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Takes up 1/3 of my desk!!

If I get flat screen, it will have to be the same size or bigger.

I was looking into getting a 15 inch Flat panel as well, just wasn't sure if it would be too small... do you think the size is OK?

that is nice... whats the resolution on that? how much? the 20" that i found was about 1200 from dell, but it did 1600x1200 which is what i want. i still cant figure out why my laptop 15" can go to 1600x1200 but a 15" desktop model can only go to 1024x768

thats a good idea! Never thought of that..

19"-21" CRTs are cheap these days, still the best resolution, crispness and color for gaming. But for extended browsing use LCDs are better for the eyes and lower power.

I got myself a 20" viewable ViewSonic VP201m a few months back to replace my ViewSonic 19" CRT. I LOVE IT! The colors are beautiful and it's better on the eyes then the CRT. It's native resolution is 1600x1200. Sweet!
