why not, it doesn't weigh over 50kg packed and any decent company is shipping that. Plus it's not oversized object...

ok guys, someone removed the first post I made... not sure why. here's a link to "well preserved" GDM-FW900 for sale: Sony Trinitron GDM-FW900 24 monitor for only 75$. It's in Croatia. I'm from Croatia too so if you need some help, PM me.

semi-related: Hello, I just bought a Philips HD CRT TV and I want to ask something... when I turned it on for the first time yesterday there was this big red patch on the left side of the screen. I called the guy that sold it to me and told him that he sold me a bad TV. So he came today but...

what would be the max. cable length for connecting CRT monitor with PC? I read that too long cable will visibly degrade picture. So is 3m/10ft too long with 1920x1200/85hz resolution?

there was some talk about that several pages back between some polish guys... Ask them. EDIT: http://allegro.pl/testery-polaryzacji-folia-polaryzacyjna-3-rodzaje-i5631077575.html

buy universal CRT polarizer?

what's wrong with 4:3 CRT monitors? Why not get one of those as a replacement? No widescreen but everything else is similar... And also the biggest CRTs are 20" compared to 22" FW900.

so... AG tube with curved screen wouldn't have more geometry problems than curved SM tube? But a flat AG will have worse geometry than curved SM because of the different gun distances, ay? But then again, since SM doesn't have those damping wires like aperture grille does then the picture...

do all AG monitors have flat screen? I know there are SM monitors with flat screens(or maybe they're not actually flat, only flat outer screens?). Also, I heard that AG have worse geometry than SM because the distance from tube is not the same or something...? Is this true?

I think it depends on how sharp the blades are and what material they're made of... Some very sharp and hard blade could make a cut in glass probably.

Read my question again. Slot mask is different than shadow mask and apperture grille.

And what about slot-mask CRT's? How do they compare to SM and AP?

This will be awesome! Very excited about this.

Didn't spacediver say he'd make some testing of FW900 ? Well?

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

it still can probably be removed by applying some kind of dissolving liquid or whatever that thing is called. I've read about those things being done on other monitors.

Can someone tell me what do these pixel layouts(i think that's what they're called) look like in LCD monitors? these are from CRT's: or can LCD have both of these types, as shown in this image: In other words, what would my 0.26 pixel pitch LCD be like, compared to 0.24 aperture grille...

Unkle Vito(or anyone else), can you please answer if the GDM-F520 has removeable anti-glare or not? If yes, is it the same procedure as in FW900 or...?

According to spacediver and jbltecnicspro, guys who know quite a lot about CRT technology, LCD is gonna be sharper if the dot pitch is the same. How much sharper and what dot pitch is necessary for CRT to have same sharpness as LCD is unknown yet.

someone please identify this thingy for me. I've been seeing it over and over on this and other threads and have no idea what it is for:

It's contrast is 5000:1 but only 3000:1 after calibration according to this review: http://www.digitalversus.com/lcd-monitor/eizo-foris-fg2421-p19395/test.html

Would you mind naming a few? I haven't been able to find any with contrast ratio higher than 1000:1 which is not even close to decent IMO.

Maybe from here: http://www.displaymate.com/crtvslcd.html

I bet if you asked him why exactly is LCD better he'd start rambling something about weight, size, heat, space... and of course, always leave the most important part out - the picture. Typical.

you mean GDM F520 ? or CPD G520 ?

So I think everyone agrees that image quality is better with anti-glare off on FW900. Does anyone know is the procedure for taking the AG off the same in all CRT's.? Just peel it off?

OK so If I understand correctly, this means that what is written in that book is true? AG pitch of 0.25 equals around 0.27 pitch of shadow mask? What about LCD? I suppose that shadow mask monitor and LCD that have 0.24 pitch would be equally sharp, right?

here's something about it:

What do you guys think about slot-mask monitors? For example LG Flatron F920p. How are they compared to SM and AG monitors? They still spread when heated up like SM's? BTW, I have a question about dot pitch. When an LCD monitor has a dot pitch 0.25 does that mean that the sharpness is going to...

OK, that guy in the post I made above probably mixed it up with some other Sony then.

http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?260932-SONY-GDM-F520-(21-quot-22-CRT)-monitor-for-LCD-trade Anyone know which ones were these?

Ah, okay... BTW I mentioned GDM in my first post too, not CPD. Which year was FW900 produced till? I know that GDM F520 was in production until 2004.

Can someone tell me what are the rebrands of GDM F520 ? I'm finding conflicting information, some saying that it's the IBM P275 and some say that's the CPD-G520 rebrand.

What do you mean by "lower scanning frequency"? A refresh rate? Or is that different?

......

about variable dot pitch: they put it as a minus

You're probably right. Can you tell me which one would you choose from these 2: 21" GDM F-520 22" HP p1230 - diamondtron ignore the screen size in your judgement.

I found out that FW900 has variable dot pitch, from .23 in center to .27 in edges. So first of all, why is this so? Is it because of widescreen? Because I'm looking at other Trinitrons/Diamondtrons and they have universal pitch. Other question is, if I was to run this monitor at 1680x1050...

You mean RT is 7.5ms? I read somewhere that OLED is suppose to have 1000 times better RT than LCD. Is this true? http://www.diffen.com/difference/LED_TV_vs_OLED_TV#Response_Time

Right, okay... I guess I mixed it up a bit :D Thanks for klarification.
