I've got a 19" CRT that has outlived a couple of computers. As much as I would like to get a larger HD flat screen, I just can't seem to justify the cost while this one is working fine. The day this thing breaks, hello flat screen.

Laptop: use its built-in screen, of course, but also have an 18.5" LCD widescreen monitor (1366 x 768) attached to it for dual display. Primary desktop: dual monitors - a 17" CRT (1024x768) and a 19" non-widescreen LCD (1280x1024). Secondary desktop: 19" LCD (1680x1050)

Other than the DVD and floppy drives, my 15" LCD monitor is all that remains of the original Compaq computer I bought in 2001. This monitor is still chugging along and though I am always keeping an eye out for a good deal on a replacement I never actually buy one because when it gets right down to it, the old monitor works fine.

I am always keeping an eye out for a good deal on a replacement I never actually buy one because when it gets right down to it, the old monitor works fine.
The 19" non-widescreen LCD (1280x1024) I mentioned was free. It was turned in to a recycling event conducted by a computer user's group to which I belong. At that time, it did not work. One of the group members repaired it and I became the new owner. I've had it for 6 months or so and it has worked fine. Prior to getting that monitor, I was using two 17" CRT monitors on my Primary desktop system. As stated in my previous post, I now have one of those 17" CRTs and the 19" non-widescreen LCD attached to it. I still have the de-commissioned 17"CRT; I'll probably hang on to it for quite awhile as a spare in case it's needed. The 18.5" LCD widescreen monitor (1366 x 768) I mentioned in my previous post is a ASUS VH192D I got from newegg.com. They were running a special sale price on it at the time and a $30 mail-in rebate was also in effect then. The net cost was a very low $70.
