| 87358 | 2002-10-09 01:08:00 | Medium to High end 17inch monitor with flat screen display. I have been looking at the Philips 107b, but would like some other recommendations Let's get those recommendations going..... |

| 87362 | 2002-10-09 03:09:00 | Obelix, You could also check out Toms hardware Guide (www4.tomshardware.com) on monitors, and for NZ pricing check out PriceSpy (http://www.pricespy.co.nz/). Cheers, Babe. |

| 87363 | 2002-10-09 03:10:00 | Keep in mind that all Sony Trinitron tubes have 2 horizontal lines across the screen when looked closely. It seems now it's their trade mark for saying it's a Trinitron tube inside :) It is not a fault Cheers |

| 87364 | 2002-10-09 03:12:00 | Obelix, Also this thread PressF1 (pressf1.co.nz) has some interesting information (you'll have to wade through the lot) which may be useful. Cheers, Babe. |

This is as flat as they come, good picture if good brand (Phillips, Samsung, Viewsonic) and gives the same viewing area as a 17" CRT monitor (the latter being the type you are presumably asking about). Has other advantages too, eg. doesn't have streams of electrons and who knows what else firing into your head all the viewing time. | rugila (214) | ||

But unfortunately isn't very good if you have a lot of motion on the monitor, eg, when playing games. Good if you are looking at text all day though, the letters are crisper, however suffers from shadowing when scrolling text. |

| 87367 | 2002-10-09 05:09:00 | Agree with rugila. Having used LCD for a year now, I couldnt go back. The resolution is superb, but you need to buy the better brands as cheaper ones don't have the quality of display. No flicker. No radiation. downside can be fixed resolution and response times if gaming is your main use. |
