HawgsHead · Apr 18, 2007, 11:43 PM

I have an NEC Diamondtron{22",20" viewable} that I bought 3 years ago and still use like crazy.Beautiful picture!But I hate to move it!

Dark Lord · Apr 19, 2007, 12:04 AM

still have one on my parents computer.

i used my 21" crt for 6 or 7 years. was a great monitor, but it just got old.

Hurock · Apr 19, 2007, 12:31 AM

I have an Hansol 19", 2 years old, but still does the job!

Zelig · Apr 19, 2007, 01:14 AM

Sony CPD-G520P

Will be upgrading when I can afford a quality 1920x1200 LCD.

Long belated edit: I should type out the corrent model name if I type out any of it.

GutterPunk · Apr 19, 2007, 01:20 AM

I was using a 17" CRT as a backup. Wow I moved it to put in the closet till I take it back to my friend. MAN its too heavy. I am glad to not use one anymore!

HawgsHead · Apr 19, 2007, 01:25 AM

But you all have to admit that the picture is GREAT!

Dark Lord · Apr 19, 2007, 01:58 AM

the picture was absolutly terrible on mine. the thing was also a giant and weighed almost 100lbs.

Lowfat · Apr 19, 2007, 02:47 AM

I use one for the media centers second screen if that counts.

Dyre Straits · Apr 19, 2007, 07:39 AM

I have two 19", one 15", and use an NEC MultiSync E1100+ 21" for my main rig. I got this 21" for a steal at $30 US over two years ago. I'll be very unhappy if/when this thing goes bad.

CDsDontBurn · Apr 19, 2007, 08:21 AM

i'm using a Gateway ev700....17in. POS CRT monitor. i liked my old CRT monitor until it had died. as soon as i can afford it, i'm going 1920x1200 res on a nice 24in. widescreen LCD

.

Judas · Apr 19, 2007, 05:39 PM

still got my trusted HQ Samsung Syncmaster 900IFT 19" 2048x1536 monitor

Just Learnin' · Apr 19, 2007, 06:05 PM

I am down to one decent Sony CPD-G520 and also will cry when it fails....

gadabout · Apr 19, 2007, 06:33 PM

My trusty NEC MultiSync FE950+. It's been through 3 moves and it's about 5 yrs. old; but still going strong.

HawgsHead · Apr 19, 2007, 07:04 PM

Looks like the CRT is still going strong.

Dowaco · Apr 19, 2007, 07:50 PM

My wife uses a 17" mitsubishi with a laptop via docking station for her work at home.
I have a 19" Gateway I use on my backup computer and a 15" Micron CRT on the DVR. LCDs are taking over though. All of those moniotors are 6-7 years old.

Judas · Apr 19, 2007, 08:14 PM

i wanna see a OLED in action

niceguyrichy · Apr 19, 2007, 10:26 PM

using 3 crt's and 1 flat panel in the house atm. don't get me wrong, I'd have a few great big Dells if I could afford it, but for the minute the crts do the job

Chaos · Apr 19, 2007, 11:09 PM

I just took my LACIE 22" 20" viewable CRT into work for the kids gaming rig

Yousaif · Apr 19, 2007, 11:19 PM

Still using my trusty Sony 19" Multiscan 400PS. I got it for free a few years back. It weighs a TON but the picture is great. Runs at 1600x1200 at 75Hz (or 70, I can't remember and I'm not dragging my arse off the couch to check). No flicker. No LCD tearing when gaming.

Its honestly quite good.

Saving for a really, really big HD monitor to replace it, though.

RaveneR · Apr 19, 2007, 11:40 PM

i have 2 CRTs on 2 of my desktop, both are 17" Philips monitors, one is 107T and the other is 107T5... still works great though...

The_Neon_Cowboy · Apr 20, 2007, 07:43 AM

19in & 17in crt is all I use, though i may go 22" lcd when i can afford it....

CDsDontBurn · Apr 20, 2007, 09:03 AM

my newly acquired x1950pro is forcing me to upgrade to an LCD...

Mr cairo · Apr 20, 2007, 09:21 AM

still using an iilyama 21" here reluctant to change

hmm.. my orginaly understanding was that the OLED could not only lower power consumption, but produce a BRIGHTER picture while remaining as vibrant.... i thought it was to be the next step up over LCD.

a well...

HawgsHead · Apr 20, 2007, 09:02 PM

I'm not tring to be a smart ass at all when asking this question,but,who gives a crap how much power this piece of equipment consumes or how much power that piece of equipment consumes?I dont understand...?????I dont think my computers make that much of a differance in my electric bill.Or am I not on the right track here????

Judas · Apr 20, 2007, 09:05 PM

no hawgs, you are correct.

But every little bit does help in one way or another.. i've be interested to see what the average households across countries or around the world's power consumption has dropped since right around LCDs first came to be and today.
