I have a 17 inch CRT. I want a new LCD. I can't make a choice. It's not really about how much it costs, it's about the right choice.
First problem is, widescreen or not.
If not widescreen, 5:4 or 4:3? ( I'm not sure it's a safe bet to go 19 inch 1280x1024 since I won't be able to run 1024 or 800x600 in older games and stuff.?)
So um, 19 5:4, 20 inch 1400x1050(any good?) or 1600x1200?
Really can't decide. I feel weird going to widescreen, since I mostly surf web, use ms office, etc on my comp. Not a big gamer/movie watcher. I think it would feel weird having my desktop widescreen, wouldn't it?
Choices (just examples, don't go into brand debate please). Which one and why?
