| 163814 | 2003-07-30 02:17:00 | I've upgraded to VideoStudio 7,which needs to be run in 1024x768 screen mode.We've been using 800x600 till now.Can swap just for the program but it is hard to see the smaller words! Using the 17" monitor that came from PC Co,it's an L7034, no name! .27mm dot pitch. Is it better to go for .23mm rather than .25mm, looking at a Philips option. Looked at 17" LCD,but I need a new PC as well,so that's a bit out of the way at present.Must check with my accountant,on how often I can upgrade the "work" PC. Thanks. |

| 163815 | 2003-07-30 02:34:00 | yep,smaller the dot pitch the better. and the cheaper range of lcd's aren't great imo. |

The words may look small at the moment, but i think you will be surprised at how quickly you get use to the size. |

| 163818 | 2003-07-30 07:23:00 | scratch that its 48% DV and 36% SL meaning you should upgrade every 3 years. :-) |

| 163819 | 2003-07-30 08:54:00 | I've got mine running at 125% ie Large Fonts Display\Settings\Advanced in the Control Panel. Works for me. Smaller is better for dot pitch but you probably wouldn't notice the difference. Looks like a Likom Monitor |

| 163820 | 2003-07-30 21:21:00 | Thanks guys.I had just found that info,roofus,but you've explained it better .And have just increased font size,Rod_ger.It's better,but the words are grey and still hard to pick up. Contrast is up all the way.I know my boys Viewsonic monitor is more finely detailed,better on games and to read.So I might still change,seeing this is 2 1/2 years old. | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 163821 | 2003-07-31 00:01:00 | LCD's are probably best for office use just at the moment. They are getting better in leaps and bounds, but arn't as developed a technology as CRT. A CRT monitor is better for graphics and will cost you less. Be aware there are a lot of bad monitors around. No name, cheaply constructed and low refresh rates(good for eyestrain). So don't stint on the quality. I have been looking at systems for my daughter and found some goodies, but the monitor has always been the weakest part of the system Anyone got a good link for comparative reviews of monitors? |
