Then, I bought a 17" HP Pavillion LCD monitor. Wow! I love the tilts and height adjustments and the colour is always dead on. Plenty of colour adjustment is available to match whatever you want. It was pretty cheap too, LCD prices are really coming down fast. I love the LCD for taking up less space and better colour consistancy, but I love the CRT more for gaming and perhaps it's exaggerated but gorgeous colour range. Tough choice, but if desktop space is not so great, the choice becomes easy. A 19" CRT is huge. I love the easy height adjustment of the LCD. Can't do that with a CRT. I was also suprised that the 17" LCD screen was almost the same viewable size as the 19" CRT. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits - Powerlet, Posi-Lock I'm a BMW rider and enthusiast.
