This is really more a generic question about LCD's vs. CRT's in general, but I have been holding on to my CRT because I love the picture quality (I use it for DVDs, games, and general home office stuff). If I were to switch to LCD it would be this monitor. What's the comparison? How can I make a...
Hey Providence, how does your PS2 work out on the 24" LCD? Everyone keeps talking about scaling problems, jaggies, ghosts, etc. -- are you experiencing that.
