Sorry about that... I guess my response was confusing in that I didn't R2D2
the question. I was responding to:
Can you recommend a 17" CRT that can run at 1600x1200+ ?!? :-)
What I meant by "end of its useful life" is that it's not as clear as it was
3 years ago. It's still pretty clear, but I do see some ghosting on high
contracts boundaries. I've had the monitor for 3 years and I believe it was
over a year old when I got it. For a four year old monitor that gets as
much use as this one it's not doing to bad.
My wife keeps threatening to buy my a couple flat panel monitors, but I'm
waiting for the magic combination of resolution/size/cost. Anything
comparable to my 17" 1600x1200 CRT costs way too much in LCD. I suffer from
claustrophobia (from tunnel vision?) when my resolution drops to or below
1200x1024.
I'm in no hurry to swap out.
