What a difference :D

Just went from this:

To this:

15" -> 19"
65Hz -> 85Hz
1024x768 max -> 1600x1200

My eyes feel better, I can fit more on the screen, and San Andreas looks great at 1600x1200.

Edit: Bought it for $30 from http://www.techsurplusstore.com/

wow. I remember my first good CRT. It was a 19" Professional series. But I have moved on to an LCD. It was just to big, and created to much heat. Congrats on your purchase, that was a huge upgrade.

we need to start a 'post your crt setup' thread so people can still show off their new stuff.

Don't you love 1600x1200? I know I did the first time I used it.

My first crt monitor was the Atari SM124 in 1987. 640x400 resolution in black and white. 12" goodness, though the viewable was even smaller.

Since I have 2 lcd's at home (and a plasma tv) and work is 100% lcd now.....I've forgotten what a crt picture looks like.

Don't you love 1600x1200? I know I did the first time I used it.

Absolutely - i had two 19" LG CRTs back home, each at 1600x1200 and it rocked.

Nice upgrade, especially at that price
