Well, I have had my trusty 17" Samtron CRT Monitor for a good 4/5 Years now, and it is still brilliant, good image, nice colors.... etc But i also have a laptop with a 15" TFT and when you go from a TFT with 1600x1400 Resolution, to a CRT with 1024x768.... well things are noticably smaller and im lacking in desktop space.... and finding webpages squashed, So i have decided its about time i got with the times and got myself a TFT! But I have no idea whats hawt and whats not so to speak.

I will be using it for browsing the web, heavy gaming and watching movies, as well as graphics design.

I would like it to be a good resoultion so webpages are not squashed, and so that i have a good amount of dekstop space, and i would like it to be 19" if posible, my budget is around £200 tho im willing to stretch my budget a little (Hooray for new jobs).

I will be using it a lot..... at least 8 hours a day (Yes i have a sad life.... but meh) so i dont want it to give me a headach...... my CRT does not no matter how long i stare at the screen :).


So please spec me that monitor :), oh and a quick 2 Question, i heard that TFT's are good on the eye.... I.E they dont cause any damage is this true? Also no i was going to ask another but i forgot it in the space of writing this post.... will edit later if it comes to me :P

Thanks in advance, Jcb33 - Mr Gunn ;)
 
Errr im not sure if that will give me a decent amount of space and not squash things... and im not sure what difference widescreen makes but most of the games i play dont support it so.....
 
heh finaly remembered my second question, in comparason to a CRT... are TFTs bigger? My laptop is 15" but seems about the same size as my 17" CRT but i dont know it that is the case for normal TFT monitors.... if so that means that a 19" monitor is likea 21/22" CRT?
 
Ok had a look just and there is plenty of choice in my price range..... but i dunno which ones are good, which ones are bad, or which one to get.... any help i would love :)
