Thinking of one more upgrade; a monitor!

Archived from groups: alt.games.microsoft.flight-sim (More info?)

I bought that monitor at a Staples in Iowa yesterday. Looks great, I
may buy another for my wifes computer. I don't know how long it will
last, but I'm very pleased with it's brightness and text detail.

I've got an Envision 19" on my wife's PC. Monitor is excellent and they're
tech support is great as well. We had a power surge take it out a year ago,
and they replaced it no questions asked. Advance replacement on top. I'd
recommend them.

Hi,

Thank you Jason, A-2 Xprt, and Gregory! I did go and pick up the
Envision unit a couple of days ago, and while it's not bad, there is
one small problem that I can't seem to sort out, and even the
Envision tech support person recommended that I return/exchange this
particular monitor.

The problem is a sort of "ghost-like" glow/shadow emanating from
objects (icons, menus, taskbars, etc.) when displayed against a black
background. Using all the recommended settings (resolution, refresh
rate, contrast, brightness, etc.), I still see this peculiar anomaly.

I've decided to return the Envision and go with a different monitor
altogether; a Viewsonic G90FB 19" "flat screen" CRT. At newegg.com,
I found this one for $219 USD, so it's a bit more expensive than the
Envision, but from all I've been reading about it, it sounds like a
good choice for me. By the way, here's the one I'm ordering:

Thanks again for your help! :-)
