Re: CRT monitor problem: Picture magnifies by itself and loses brightness



Jeff, WB8NHV ha escrit:
I agree with the others. Your monitor will probably go completely
dead eventually; I'd get a new one as well if it were me. I've gone
through two monitors on my 7-year-old IBM Aptiva 595 and am on my
third (Hewlett-Packard Pavilion MX70), but when this one eventually
dies I'll just pitch it and get a new FP (flat panel) monitor. The new
FPs are better than CRT monitors and take up less room on a desktop.
That's all we see anyway in businesses, etc.--FP monitors; no one
(that I know of, except myself) uses CRTs anymore. Everywhere you look
noiwadays--well, almost--flat-panels are the rule rather than the
exception.

We use flat panels at work and I am not too impressed. Unless used at
their native resolution, they look less sharp than a good monitor, and
problem is for a 15 or 17" monitor the native resolutions are too big
so everything looks too small. Monitors are better at handling all
sorts of resolutions.
