Going from Dual CRTs to Flat screen
So I just got married and I'm living in a new place and need more room. I've always used dual CRTs, one 21" and one 19" but now I'm thing of going to one single Flat screen. What size would be comparable to my current setup? And where's a good deal? Thanks!

Re: Going from Dual CRTs to Flat screen
umm...well 19 + 21 you'd need a pretty big screen.
Fortunately, there's no reason to get a screen that big since the resolution would still be limited. I'd get a 2560x1920 in whatever size you can find.

Re: Going from Dual CRTs to Flat screen
I can possibly get you a great deal on a couple 19" monitors if you want me to check 
I got my 22" 3000:1 contrast full hd resolution LCD monitor in sexy black for $crackhead prices.
They are either refurbs, have cosmetic flaws, or minor issues like light leakage (an edge or two of the screen might look a little brighter when it's black/dark), or "mura" defects...which are usually impossible for me to find...they use special tools to find contrast differences because it's so hard to see with the naked eye.
I've sold around 40-50 monitors, or more, and have only had one fail which was because of UPS.

Re: Going from Dual CRTs to Flat screen
I have twin 17" via Jorsher (vouch), but I only ran them as duals for a couple weeks. It was really too much, kind of annoying. If you like the 19" and 21" you won't experience that, but I'd personally go for a large single. Goforth has a single 32" widescreen, it's pretty sweet from across the room but too large otherwise, IMO.

This is what I have at work. I have a 19" Normal Aspect LCD at home. I like them both, but would at least like a widescreen at home.
