Wow look at that sucker lick. It could lick for England.
The Viewsonic VX912B and VP191b 19" monitors seems popular on the Overclockers forum, listed as being good to play games on.
The other thing i've found (not sure if it's true...) is that screen size doesn't compare right with CRT monitors and LCD monitors. According to some guide i was reading, a 19" CRT monitor is equal to a 17-18" LCD monitor... Also, some of the guides also mention that a 19" monitor has a 1280x1024, same as most 17" monitors. To get around this the fact that the screen size is larger, they either have a black box around the screen, or they 'zoom' in, and things look a bit funky.
So i'm wondering in my innocent nature, if a 17" LCD monitor would be better?
I shouldn't look at these "overclockers" sites. The pictures of their setups show anything from a minimalistic setup (a beautiful desk, featuring a wireless setup) all the way to the tech-no-junkie style, of 2-4 (FOUR!?) monitors hooked up.
Now i'm wondering. 19" monitor, or 2x 17" monitors. Maybe have either a switch on the second monitor, so that i can either use it as dual monitors on the main PC, or *flick* use it on the legacy system. However seeing at the moment i have to unplug and replug the sound cables, i might as well just do that with the monitor cable too. (I'll also speak unsound thoughts, and say that although i think dual monitors are cool, and maybe it's because each time i've tried it, it's with two different styles of monitors, but i don't like it much when it's in operation.)
