What CRTs are you using for gaming?

xGaffner · 21 Sep 2009 at 19:16

I'm currently looking for a decent CRT. Is there any good places to get them from? I'm after a good trinitron or diamondtron and have had absolutely no luck in finding any in stock (ebay, amazon etc)

I'm using this eMachines thing that came with my PC. Its damn good yo. 17" of clean crisp... images?

Backup Packard Bell 17" CRT.

Iiyama Vision Master Pro 454.

Best CRT i've ever used, had the 452 previous to this. Still have it aswell and it works fine. That would be my backup if anythign goes wrong with this.

Checkout freecyle, local tips (seriously) and ebay, these things are basically being given away because people want cooler, thinner flat screens without realising some people still want the good CRTs.

not bad

That's not bad, rarely will there be a delivery option other than 'pick up' but check the feedback...

"Total nightmare. Replacement never turned up. Kept my money though. AVOID"

I know it's the only bad one he's got but when dealing with people that's the only one I pay attention to, and it's for one of those monitors.

using iiyama vm pro 454 and got a 451 doing nothing

I have a Hyundai ImageQuest Q995 I got second hand for £60 about 7 years ago. 19", maximum 1600x1200@75, but 1280x1024@100 is better for the desktop. I keep considering an LCD for the bigger screen size, but this is a nice clear picture, no lag at all and can never have dead pixels.

I have a Vision Master pro 510.
Will be sad when it finally expires.

Still using it on my legacy gaming PC.
Like to play the old games a lot and it is ideal for that.

I still use my P1130 and to use the 2048 x 1536 in CS4 is great.
Whish I could get a bigger crt

I am now saving for a big TV....

Currently using a iiyama vision master pro 1451 but looking to buy either a 454 or 451.

Thanks
