21" monitor choice

[The PIT]

I've got an NEC FE950 19 inch. It's nice and it's even got top and bottom convergence control as well which is useful. Overall I would give it more marks out of ten than my Vision Master Pro 512.

I think I'll order a mitsubishi 2115e, it doesn't have dual inputs but it does seem the better monitor

Well they do manufacture the best tubes after the Trinitron. I guess peopel like Eizo now uses Mitsu tubes for their screens as Trinitron below 21" are gone

Kurt, I didn't see you were talking about an LCD. You won't damage your eyes with a cheap LCD, and Acer LCDs are fine.

And yes, you pay too much for Sony LCDs, as well as for EIZO LCDs.

Nobody was talking about LCDs here. I have no idea about Sony LCDs. But for tubes, definitely Sony.

Well, Marshmallowman mentioned a 18.1 LCD it in the post I replied to.

AFAIK Mitsubishi has licensed the Trinitron technology from Sony and added their grain of salt.

Its quite nice, 1600x1200@85 is quite easy on the eyes, and it does have dual inputs BNC and hd15, something I have not read on there site or on anyreview?

1280x1024@100hz is very crisp, I'm happy

An 18" LCD would have been nice, and I have tried my best to justify it to myself, but 20" viewable for half the price is something I could not resist.

I better crank up mouse acceleration, my mouse area is only good for 2/3 of the screen

Good to know you're happy with it

1600*1200@85Hz is probably the recommended resolution. It's quite small though, even on a 21". 1280 is easier on the eyes -but a bit wasted on such a big screen. Maybe 1400*1050...

BNC if I were you I'd use it if it's got it. You'd probably see a differance.
