# If we agree it's a gonna, I have my eye on a new 20" tft from novatech.
I must admit, I'll miss this screen, I love it's fuzziness for gaming. I think Tfts show a bit too much detail.

# don't bank on it
make sure it has proper resolution display at every screen setting. We've just got some at work which only show sharp text at the highest setting. Otherwise it's like looking at a screen without wearing glasses.

# What about Viewsonic?
That sounds as cheap to me!
(I helped save b3ta! mikenco, Mon 6 Nov 2006, 23:49, archived)
# Doesn't sound good I'm afraid...
and there are very few quality CRTs left out there. When my old ViewSonic Pro died there just wasn't anything with that kind of spec available any more for under $1000. I've reluctantly given in and bought an LCD.

# Oh.. :(
You pleased with the new one compared to the old 'un?
(I helped save b3ta! mikenco, Mon 6 Nov 2006, 23:42, archived)
# relatively...
I still prefer a good CRT to a good LCD... I do a lot of graphics work, and I trust CRTs more for photo editing. Still, I'm pleased with what I've got now that I'm used to it.

# Interesting..
I am pleased to hear that I am not the only one who still prefers the diffused image of a CRT. I too do graphics and some print work.

Yeah, after a day working on it, I have smacked it several times. To no effect other than self gratification.

# well time for a new one then
you could always drop it from a great height when you get a new one to see if it can fly
(I helped save b3ta! rollingcabbage is still alive, Mon 6 Nov 2006, 23:35, archived)
# Hmm..
I feel a post on Youtube coming on! ;)

I wonder how high I could launch it using just a scaffold plank and a breeze block?

# drop it off a high-rise block of flats
carefully...

# i did that with a Mellon

# Not many high rised flats round here..
We do have cliffs in Dover though.

Last time I dropped something off the cliffs, it was a large chunk of chalk. I was only about 13 and watched in bemusement, then horror as it almost hit a car in the docks below :S

EDIT: "300ft of falling glory, a nano second of terror as the car screeched to a halt. The 3 kilo chunk of chalk exploded in a massive plume of white dust merely inches from its bonnet"
