i sure will not a bad price either.although my current 17" goes upto 1280x1024p.its one of those cheapo crt with screen quite small for the size.

for the new one goes to - 1280 x 1024 @ 85 Hz Recommended-&- 1600 x 1200 @ 75 Hz Max. Resolution.

i will have a little trial & error selecting the rez i am happy with but what is in your opinion ideal rez for 19" crt's.

1280x960 @ 85hz is my current main res. Things "just look right" at those settings. I hate anything below 75hz...looks flickery to me.

received my monitor still trying out a few screen rez.
