I've got a Trinitron-tubed monitor (CTX PR711-T) and I barely notice the
wires at all. They were annoying for the first 10 minutes or so of use, but
tbh unless you use bright whites a lot then you can hardly see them.
It's certainly a compromise worth making - I'd never go back to a
shadow-mask monitor again. A usable 1280x1024 on a 17" monitor is always
worth the cost, and I'd be happy using 1600x1200 if it didn't make
everything so damn small :)
