| 289118 | 2004-11-07 23:03:00 | Does anybody here have experience in using LCDs for serious professional CAD work? If so, what brands and sizes are recommended to replace 21" fine dot-pitch CRT monitors? TIA Spence |

| 289119 | 2004-11-08 06:05:00 | I have a 17" Phillips something and I DON'T recommend it :) There's also a 19" Phillips which I haven't used much, but its a lot nicer on the eye... I don't look forward to them taking away my 21" CRT though... when they try I'm going to try to convince them to get me another 21" CRT. Mike. |

Many proffesional cad users fell the same, the lcd dosent deliver in the detail yet. D. |

| 289121 | 2004-11-08 20:49:00 | i wouldnt use a lcd for cad work, especially with their native resolutions, your much better of with a crt for the detail. | Budda (2736) | ||
| 289122 | 2004-11-08 23:40:00 | My guess is that is someone who started learning/using CAD with a high resolution LCD would be quite happy with it. The sharp, non-merging pixels would be "normal". Anyone who has been used to the appearance of a CRT "knows" that that is normal. It's different, I don't like it." :O |

| 289123 | 2004-11-09 00:59:00 | I found it hard to see some of the stuff (little grey numbers for scale, etc) becuase of the lower contrast levels. I prefer CRT for graphics as well. CRT seems to look better eg. more colour range or something. |

| 289124 | 2004-11-09 07:35:00 | We have in the last month swapped a 17" crt monitor for a wide screen LCD, sorry dont know brand or size, as I am writing from home,but would not consider going back to CRT. While the LCD takes a little getting used to, long sessions on the CAD much less strain on the eyes. | tutaenui (1724) | ||
| 289125 | 2004-11-09 07:46:00 | I use both CRT and LCD at work (on the same PC) and I find I get more strain on my eyes when I use the LCD more - I can go all day with the CRT no problem. That said, there are probably LCDs out there that are better suited to what I'm doing than the cheap phillips I'm running... Mike. |

| 289126 | 2004-11-09 10:04:00 | Thanks everybody, for the comments and advice. It looks like the CRT will live on for a while for serious CAD work. I wonder when LCD technology will lift the definition to true CRT equivalent? Spence |

| 289127 | 2004-11-09 10:08:00 | Yes, I would say go for the CRT. Better for the pocket as well :). Cheers George |
