Default Flat Screen Monitors - 12-12-2002, 06:10 PM

I was wondering if someone could help me...I am tired of my piece o junk monitor Dell E770S http://support.ap.dell.com/docs/monitor ... /intro.htm

Anyone have flat screens that are larger than 17 inches, and if so could you tell me how they compare to the normal dinosaur models?

WalMart...get a KDS 19" Flat SCreen Monitor for about $220. Its a trinitron flat screen by SONY. Warrenty lasts 3 years. I had a problem with a monitor from them once, and they sent a replacement . Took 2 days. Sent the defective one back, on them.

Well, my friend has one, and I don't like it too much. Unless you will just look at it from the direct front-center of it, it will be fine, but straying off to the side there is a glare. Though that is just on his monitor. I'll stick with my big old beast of a monitor.

I thought that flat screens only save room and give you privacy (as they say)

The smaller the dot, the more you can fit on the screen, resulting in better pics. There are alot of Flat Panel LCD Monitors with over a .30. I believe the Trinitron flat screens are around .23 or so.
