Greetings all!
Here comes the dreaded moment for me....Moving from the goodness of the CRT to a flat monitor. I have pushed the event as further as I could but now my LCD is showing signs of dying.
So...I need your help on selecting features and maybe brands/models so here is what I wish of it.
Size:
I need the monitor for browsing, MS Word and photography only. No gaming etc.
Am I right to stick with the 4:3 format? A web search gave me this.
* 19″ : 1280*1024 on 4:3 and 1440*900 on 16:10
* 20″ : 1600*1200 on 4:3 and 1680*1050 on 16:10
* 22″ : 1680*1050 on 16:10
Do I really need the 16:10 ratio?
It's 16:9; but I consider it *very highly* undesirable, personally.
However, I wasn't aware that classic 4:3 monitors were available; I
haven't heard of any for sale in years. I did find one on Amazon, but
it's a low-end brand, and an old model.
