All 17" for me, I want a 19" But then there's alot of things I want.

Mine's TFT 15". Which means 17" in another sort of way, apparently.

Heh...I know so much about computers. :retard:

Eh? 15" but is 17"?

Just a marketing gimmick to make you think that 15" TFT's have the same display area as a 17" fat one. I'd sue them for false advertising. :headbang:

I have a 19", but I have a feeling, from my last few conversations with KDS here recently, I may be getting it replaced.

Scanty

Yeah that's it. But I think it does have the same display area.

Jeslek

um no, our 17" has a display area of 15.9". Your 15" isn't near that. Deceptive advertising. :(

Scanty

um um what?

One 17" flatscreen (not flatpanel, flatscreen, full viewing area), and one 15" which is pretty lousy, have to replace it with a second 17" when I've bought my digital camera...

(and yes, that's both on one computer)

Work-a Dell M770 17" soon to be a Viewsonic 21" that I 'acquired'
Home-a 19" that I forgot the name of and a crummy 15" on the secondary.

17" (so like 15.9 viewable)

Scanty, they are all on crack. If you have a 15" panel monitor that means 15" VIEWABLE and since a 17" regular monitor is just over 15" viewable then your panel monitor has almost as much viewable space as a regualr 17" monitor. That is what the 15" but almost like a 17" means...

15.0" is a lot less than 15.9"... :retard:

17" ViewSonic E70-3

weird thing, we don't have monitor/TVs measurements in metrics.

Jeslek

Lots of things are not in metric. When flying a plane, they say decent to 1,000 feet, not meters. Metric is still easier and nicer, but some things I just can't imagine not being in metric. I would tell the air controller he is nuts if he tells me to decent to 333.3 meters.

against fury's advice, a 19" KDS VS190 (http://www.kdsusa.com/product_detail.asp?prod=25&sub=p) which has been great, especially for a cheapie.

just 70 Hz? I'd get so much trouble with my eyes if I had to look at that for a whole day! :eek:


For me its at least 75 Hz, but now running at a comfortable 85 Hz :)

most people don't flinch at the hz, its normally the resolution that makes people wince, everyhting sooooo tiny :D

Shadowfax

I hate it when it's smaller, I have to put too much effort into being able to read things :D

Hehehe, I don't have those kind of go-go-gadget-eyes :D

So everything is relatively large when it comes to that :)
