HUH? I never recommedend any specific display technology or told anyone to buy a CRT, I recommended higher resolution displays and TODAY there are a whole bunch of LCDS that DO go much higher than 1280x1024 and for cheap too. YOU are out of touch. At the time I bought this CRT/CARD setup, there were virtually no LCDs that went higher than 1280x1024 but now today there are many many out there. That was the main reason I went with CRT, I wanted/needed the higher resolution that LCDS didnt offer THEN, not now though... jco

Well, this is ironic considering this is coming from somebody using obsolescent display technology. Those 19" CRT's you're recommending people buy? They're hard to find these days. They've been replaced on the market by 19" LCD's. Almost all of which have a max resolution of 1280x1024. Why? because anybody who really needs more will buy a larger display (like a 20" or 24" panel) and 1280x1024 is the most generally usable resolution for a display that size. A good LCD at 1280x1024 is much crisper than the equivalent CRT, and higher resolutions on CRT's tend to have flickr due to the low refresh rate (You may be able to live with 75Hz, but it's clearly visible and headache inducing to me. I need 85Hz or better, or a flickr-free technology like DVI-driven LCD's) Analog CRT's are dead technology (a point which you made to me in the great HDTV thread). -Adam J. C.
