QOTD: How Big Is Your PC Display?

Next news
7:31 PM - March 29, 2009 by Tuan Nguyen

I remember when my 12-inch yellow monochrome CRT monitor was the pinnacle of desktop display technology. Alas, those memorable days are gone.

These days, most people use LCDs for their computer, and some still are using a venerable CRT monitor. The debates still rage on in regards to which technology provides a better image quality. However, when it comes down to enjoying games or movies, size is what counts.

The question of the day is: How big is your computer display?

Maybe you own a 30-inch monster. Maybe you own more than one of them! Let us know.

24" LG P-MVA which opened my eyes to picture-in-picture work and play. I'm switching out to a 32" 1080P LCD TV with PIP and 3 HDMI inputs for $550 in my bedroom. I talked a roommate into doing it and now I'm jealous...

2x24" consumer Dells. Got them for $150 each after a web-site pricing screw-up. They don't hold a candle to the pro 24" Dell I use at work, but for $150 they're definitely worth it.

22" LCD - prices increase rather steeply when you go bigger than that, or at least they did when I bought the monitor.

22" and 32", 3 years old. 42" is the best size, wish I had waited a year and got 24" and 42". 19" was better than 22" as it was easier to see text and play games.

Pretty funny, cant wait to see the statistics on thses "QOTD" posts. I guess I might as well join in. I have a Westinghouse 24" @ 1920x1200 respectively. I would like the new LaCie 30" with LED backlighting allowing for like 124% Adobe RGB range or something sinister like that. I use photoshop for professional photo retouching and NEED this kind of accuracy. This Westinghouse, I have calibrated, but it just does NOT cut it. Got any test samples over there? :o)
