Hooch, Don't waste your time with a cheezy 19" monitor. Buy and Install this:

This is similar to what I have. Warning, you need to meet the following criteria:

You want the absolute ULTIMATE gaming experience
You're not prone to motion sickness.
You are not married....or, if you are married, your wife has infinite patience and you have your own room to put this in.

I have an InFocus system that shoots a 120" by 120" image to a pulldown screen. I watch TV through my Radeon card on the PC as well as play SFC. My wife allows this because she has her own TV. <-- This is an important point if you go with this setup. Take it from SghnDubh's school of hard knocks.

Gah! you frighten me...hehe

I have a Viewsonic PF-790 and it does just fine for gaming and video, I found it's sharpness rather lacking for text though. And I don't know about anyone else's PF-790, but the corners are blurry. I've fiddled with every control I found trying to make it better, and it still looks too fuzzy. It's ok in the middle, but I was annoyed enough with it, that I ended up buying a 19" Sony Trinitron A440-HMD flat CRT and it's a lot better. Nice, crystal clear text, and not a blurry spot to be found. I was using the Viewsonic on my second computer, but I ended up getting an Omniview switch to go back and forth between them, so my Viewsonic is not currently being used.

Though when I was wandering around Best Buy last weekend, I saw this 20.1" Viewsonic flatscreen LCD, that was just drop dread gorgeous. It was like a sunray coming down the aisle bekoning me to come closer...

<shakes head to wake up from daze>...

Bah! i'm scaring myself...

Anyways if your looking for a flat CRT, I would recommend my Sony...
Of course I'm wanting an LCD 18.1 screen now...hehe

Tell me you who is my new graven image whom I adore now for thee hast shown me the one true path, pray thee tellith me what do you throw that image on to?

Hooch (your devoted padowan) if I still had enough hair I would put a braid in it, but my CO would shoot me

Cozbo · « **Reply #15 on:** April 11, 2003, 03:08:58 pm »

I have one of these, except I have 1100 lumens,

which makes it easier to play with lights on. Make sure you get a good screen too, walls dont work very well.

I have my own room too, a den/office, BUT I do not have a wife with infinite patience.

If some one could tell me how to upgrade her to that model I would appreciated it.

After 14 years I have become fond of her and would really like to keep her so replacement is not an option.

ROFLMAO

The things us married people need to consider..... Spousal arrangments can be as dangerous as negotiating with a Klingon Lawyer

If you are married tread very carefully here

Unless you can sell ice to eskimos.
