liquidzoo Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 People that talk about a color tube going out in a Sony monitor are probably referring to a CRT monitor, not an LCD one. Of the brands you mentioned, any will be great for you. I have a Viewsonic monitor (CRT) that I've had for years and I love it. You will, however, pay a bit more for Viewsonic or Sony; simply for the name. In the end, it boils down to which one you really want. LCD's are great these days and with a name brand (like you suggested) you shouldn't run into any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidzoo Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 LCD - Liquid Crystal Display. They're generally thin (~4cm thick) and way more expensive CRT - Cathode Ray Tube. These are the large, TV looking monitors. Sony and Viewsonic would be good. Of the 2, I would go Viewsonic as they made a requpation (and a good one at that) making monitors.
