# apparently they've found a way
to retore yellowy old-fashioned 'beige goods' to their former glory. Good news for CRT lovers. See if I can find a link...

earlier, before I shifted the beer cans and fag packets.

# I just tried giving away three IIyama diamondtron monitors this week
Like the 19" one on my desk up there ^

Noone wants those anymore, even though they're quite ace.

# It depends upon your needs.
but no self respecting gamer or graphic designer should be using an LCD unless it's a Samsung and cost £5grand. Because that's the only way you can get near to the quality of a high end CRT.

# Exactly

Well, I only do 2D designs and some coding and stuff

So far, I've lost two.

I don't think freecycle operates over here. But we have some similar projects though.

# I'd love one
Where do you hail from?

My 17" is really poor quality even for a CRT.

# yes, more CRT's damn it
all these hippies with their flat screens on an ikea "BORKSLÅP" transparent desk next to some uplighters are just kids messing with bins on the lawn :)
