How BIG is Your Monitor?

[TheGreatSatan]

How big of a monitor do you have? Is it LCD or are you still using a CRT?:eek:

Maybe you have multiple monitors. . . . .

[Scotty]

20" and 17" on my PC
and a 17" on my laptop

Was pondering on going double 24" but i have found NOTHING any good for gaming in 24" without problems, and the fact most are skimping on size to 16:9 and not 16:10, but thats off topic, carry on :p

[Luke122]

I'm rocking a 15" LCD on my desk (go ahead, laugh.. it was free), and a 37" Sharp Aquos for media duties. :D

[Collinstheclown]

Shouldn't 16:10 convert to 8:5?

But anyway, I have 3 19" LCDs. I wanna update them at least since the max resolution they put out is only 1280x1024 each. If I can fit them on the stand I'd like some 20s or 22s.

Samsung 32" 720p LCD TV

and

Samsung 22" LCD monitor.


right now i'm using the 32" but when i get my own place i plan to go back to my 22"

[nevermind1534]

Shouldn't 16:10 convert to 8:5?

Yeah, but I think they do that so it's easier to compare to 16:9.

[OvRiDe]

Dual 19" LCD's non widescreen.

42" LCD for the multimedia... not hooked to main rig, but rather an HTPC running XBMC.

[Bopher]

2 15" on the desk and I think my laptop is running a 16". Just changed from the dual CRTs like 2 months ago. $25 for the 2 monitors can't go wrong with that.

[Mark_Hardware]

I have two ASUS 26" monitors....

I was gonna go with the 2693's but at the last minute switched to the ASUS :D
BTW how do I vote? I fall into two of the options

[nevermind1534]

The bigger one, I guess.

[x88x]

Dual Samsung 225BW 22" 1680x1050 panels, and one old 18.1" Compaq 1280x1024 panel (yeah, I know, but it's their professional line; it's actually a really nice, solid LCD).

Also, 12.1" 1280x800 on my laptop.

[LiTHiUM0XiD3]

right now im using a 27 inch INSIGNIA LCD TV for my monitor... at 1360x768

[NightrainSrt4]

Ehh, I clicked the wrong bubble, lol. That is what I get for trying to fill out the poll while listening to the S.O's story lmfao.

Anyway, dual 22" widescreens, would like to up to either 3, or a center 24", with the 2 on the side, but that is unlikely to happen. Don't need it anyway.

15" LCD for the fiance's rig on the other end of the 'L'. And a 32" 720 lcd for the tv/htpc to the left.

Get to pick up a broken 19" lcd this weekend. It works, but when you turn it on, shortly after the backlight goes out. You can still see everything if you get it on an angle with the light, but the backlight is out. Going to try and fix it, see what I can do.

Sounds like a dying inverter. If you can find the board for sale by itself, it shouldn't be too expensive.

Depends on the computer...

Gaming PC: 1x 22" widescreen
Workstation: 2x 22" widescreen (one shared with the gaming PC)
Wife's computer: 1x 23" HDTV (she needs to be able to watch hockey while working out).
Media Center PC: 1x 42" HDTV

[d_stilgar]

I've got a 28" LCD. Love it to death.

[Drum Thumper]

I've got a pair of 7" LCD's that are going to get worked into something, a pair of 19" CRTs, a pair of 22" widescreen LCDs (sometime running together), three 20 inch CRT televisions that I can feasibly use as monitors (one of which will eventually end up in a MAME cab) and a 37" HDTV.

So I guess that means I need an 'all of the above' choice.

[billygoat333]

one 22" acer LCD. don't remember the model number. plan on investing in an HDTV soon for media (if I get the job I am applying for)

[mtekk]

24" HP LP2475W, it's not a stinky TN panel :)

[billygoat333]

thanx... i will probably need it. :P

[chaksq]

I have a 21.5" widesreen as my main monitor with a 15" secondary. I purposely got the 21.5" Asus because I want true 16:9 not 16:10. Reason being i watch a lot of media on this computer and most of it is 16:9 and i hate black bars on the top and bottom.

[Mark_Hardware]

man, when I watch tv I get the black bars on the sides booooo! :(

[farlo]

most of the time i use my hdtv its an olevia 37" lcd says 1080i ,but my 360 runs at 1080p on it, my normal desktop monitor for random stuff is a 17" samsung lcd.

[si-skyline]

I like the one guy who has CRT ::)

[lg9142]

19" Samsung LCD, 17" Compaq CRT.

I want to get a 24" LCD with HDMI soon, so I can play PS3 through the same monitor as I use for my PC. Then I'll put the 19" as my secondary, and get rid of the CRT.

[killergamer]

For computer I use a 19" MAG..its alright and is alot better then the CRT we used to have..

For our TV we have a 42" Panasonic 1080p hooked up to our sexbox with a HDMI cable makes the games SO much better.

[haha49]

Multiple Monitors
Bigger than 22 inches LCD

How I vote for both :P

[haha49]

I like the one guy who has CRT ::)
