Computer screen size

**Peachy** · 19-02-2008

I read an acticle in a paper the other day that CRT ("tube") screens are on the verge of extinction because most people buy TFT ("flat") screens these days. The article also said that the screen size is increasing.

So I want to ask you a simple question:

How big is your computer screen?!
Please post the size of the screen you're using most often if you have several computers, and post the size of your biggest screen if you have several.
Also, please indicate whether you're using a CRT ("tube") or a TFT ("flat") screen.
You can choose multiple answers, but please choose only one screen size!

17" CRT, 16" viewable space.

CRTs aren't down and out yet because they don't have a response lag and they have more vivid colours, and the blacks are actually black. But as with every CRT, the corners are never perfect.

I want to upgrade to a second CRT in dual display mode (or if my video card will support, three displays including the TV) and then eventually two TFTs, and if there is ever any money for it, a HD TV wouldn't be bad...

*wishes he had SLi so he could have two 8800s*

My 8600GT is nearly fine, it runs CoD4 fine but thanks to Crysis' stupid system requirements, it won't run it so well.

Remember, kids, it's not the size, it's what you can do with it (you saw that one coming, didn't you?

).

Besides, it takes more than a huge-ass TV set to make me worship you!!!
