CRT

anyone know of a CRT monitor 24" with dvi / hdmi / composite ?
for a price of around £200 - £300 .

i used to have i think it was an LG 17" crt flatron & it was very good.
but i upgraded to tft & all i can say now is i feel ill when playing fps games.
its like motion sickness i can only play fps games for like 20 mins.
Then i feel like im gonna throw up.

back when i had the LG CRT i used to play things like CS unreal / unreal tournament for hours on end.

iv since had 4 tft monitors & always feel ill (idk if it is the monitors or not)
but thats the only thing i can put it down to.

currently i have the 24" dell 2407 wfp

If you have a £300 budget you should probably consider one of the 120hz tft screens.

Agree. I have one and are very good.

Only one 24" crt was ever made, although it came under a few similar names but its basically the FW900 and it doesn't have many sockets apart from the standard pc one.

Awesome screen but v rare to find.

I have one!

I'd agree that the new 120hz lcd's are in a different world to previous types of lcd's though for motion.

24" CRT? Must weigh about the same as a baby elephant

Think its about 92lbs ..

Massive thing! Hate carrying it about...It makes 22" 4:3 CRT's feel like portables!

It's needed for 3D, yeah, but they'll also do an honest 120Hz in normal 2D mode too

k iv took the change & ordered a acer 120hz not from overclockers though

past 2 times i pre ordered with them like month later i had to get refund .
So gonna give **** a try though they peved me off already ( i ordered the intel 80gb SSD) along with it i asked if they would post that seprate due to the wait on the monitor.
No i had to cancel the HDD from the monitor order & re order seprate. :S

I've got the FD W900, they also made the FW900 i htink which doesn't have such a flat screen. It has BNC and VGA inputs. and yes, it makes my 25" 4:3 CRT tv seem like it's filled with feathers.
