From: Velda Nikolaidis Santa (bf) sent me a 22" Acer lcd monitor to replace my 19" Samsung lcd
You're dating Santa! That's cool!! From: Nimue Jewell You inspired me. Just plugged into a Sony Bravia (LCD) 46" 1080p with my laptop and did a little sightseeing. Looks amazing. Don't do it on a regular basis though so don't have loads of info for you.
(TV has a standard VGA port and that is what I used.) I would like to do the same with my Dell Vostro laptop and my Panasonic LCD TV. If I walk into the electrical shop next door to where I work, what cable do I ask for to make it work? I am completely technically useless so if you can tell me I'll write it on a piece of paper and hand it to the assisstant and just point and grunt. My TV takes a PC because it has a PC option on it. ie HDMI 1,2 and 3, SCART 1 an 2 and PC. Mucho thankso for any helpo  |

There's, uh, probably a lot of things you didn't know about lindens. Another, another interesting, uh, lindenism, uh, there are only three jobs available to a linden. The first is making shoes at night while, you know, while the old cobbler sleeps.You can bake cookies in a tree. But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.

From: Mortus Allen For me nothing in a reasonable price range beats my 19 inch Samsung 955DF 0.21 Dot Pitch flat tube CRT. High Res, no worries about ghosting, things last for friggen decades! and no worries about refresh rates, mine runs at 75hz (75 times per second) at 1200 + 1024.
LCDs and Plasma's IMO just have not caught up in resolution, response time and quality. LCD/Plasma screens that would match my CRT tube are still $600+ and will likely only last 4 or 5 years, to the 5 to 6 years my perfectly good CRT has been running and bought brand new for $300. YEP! Same here!! PLUS- a CRT monitor uses less electricity than an LCD, which totally surprised me! I always thought it was the other way around. And another thing about a CRT- I can drop down to a really low screen resolution if/when I need to (like for old DOS games, etc) and not lose any quality. I paid a whopping $150 for a refurbished 19" Dell CRT in 1997 and it's still running good as new!!! Only reason I'd switch is for a 30" Widescreen LCD for $200 or less. I doubt that'll happen and I doubt they'll last as long as CRTs.

Just get some other image on there for a while (hours to a day or so) and the ghost image will go away.
