Hello!

Does anyone know of a website or a way of showing how big a 24 inch LCD Monitor is compared to my 20 inch CRT?

Thank you for response

I used this site which helped me to decide on the size I'd need going from 21" non wide TFT to widescreen, I chose a 27" model which is perfect.

Hope that helps a bit.

Try this: http://tvcalculator.com/index.html

Don't forget that a 20" CRT (odd size for a monitor?) will actually have a viewable diagonal of about 18.5" - 19", and a 24" LCD screen will be, well, 24"...

I didn't know you could get 20" crt's ? 19" , then its 21+22" which both have 20" viewable, and then there was the rare 24" crt.

That website can be misleading as its still hard to imagine.

I wouldn't have thought a 24" lcd would look massive next to a 21" crt but the widescreen will make it seem a lot more desirable.

To beat screen area of a 22" CRT (you know you don't see all 22" of it) you need a 24" CRT.

There is a guide somewhere shows it nicely in 1 of the threads.

So your going to inherit a load of screen area going from 20" CRT to 24" LCD (20" CRT seems weird, sure its not 19")

The CRT screen im using is a Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 22" but before I bought it i read a review on it, that said viewing area is really only 20"

I fixed my typos, yes its still called a 22" CRT but you see about 20.5" on most.
