I have a Dell 2005FPW 20 inch widescreen LCD monitor. I love it.

Except for the tiny marking/scratch in the middle-left-upp quadrant of the screen. Goddammit.

19" Samsung Syncmaster 997DF CRT monitor. It has a big ass but it does what we need here.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I love this CRT I have. An ancient IBM P72, takes about 10 seconds to turn on. But the picture quality is amazing, better than even on brand-new $600 LCD monitors. Years and years of use, and not one dead pixel, not one distortion, not one loss of focus. Sure, it's only 17", and is huge and a well over 40 lbs, but it's completely worth it.

Technically, I use the 15" widescreen LCD built into my powerbook.

I also have a 17" Flatron CRT lying around, and if I'm feeling fancy, a 40" Samsung LCD (though to make the best of that I need a DVI-HDMI cable, and they're silly prices. Still, it makes Torrent TV all shiny)

Currently using a 19" Sceptre LCD as a replacement for the 20" flatscreen Dell Trinitron CRT I was using before. Convergence had gone completely FUBAR on it (even cracking the thing open and adjusting the screws manually didn't help) and it was eating a massive amount of deskspace, so I went with an LCD for its replacement. I'm still not satisfied with color reproduction despite constant tweaking, but being able to fit something on my desk other than my monitor is nice.

I've got a 17" BenQ FP71V. 4ms grey-to-grey. Absolutely love it and I'm considering getting a second. mmmmm Dual Monitors.......... Used to have some generic CRT Dell Monitor that took up so much room that when I removed it I was shocked to find some desk space.

17" Samsung SyncMaster 757dfx

Excellent monitor, especialy considering its age (quite old by now, possibly 5 years or more, would have to check). Planning to replace it with a 17" lcd soonish tho since it did brake down on me once already and has minor glitches sometimes so I'm afraid of it breaking down again plus, since I spend quite a lot of time in front of it and since lcd tech has come a long way (and cheapend) I'm planing to replace it for eyesight reasons.

That's what I have. Except mine's almost 8 years old and it still won't freakin' die. No flicker, no colour imbalances, nothing, except it's not quite as bright as it used to be.

Primary monitor is a 15" LCD, MAG LT565.

Secondary monitor is a 17" Sun CRT. Not sure who the actual manufacturer is, but it's Sun branded and came with a Sun ULTRA 5.
