    Cheap and cheerful 17" CRT (Think I paid £70 4 years ago).
    Concidered getting something bigger, but this does the job for me

    Yoda I guess SW Episode 3 must be boring you because you seem bored with these new topics in OT .

    I have two 17" monitors using them as a dual monitor setup for my video workstation. Can be a nusiance at times having to lug them around when I move, but the image clarity still rivals that of LCD's.

    No its not that I'm dubbing some audio tapes to mp3 and need to be on the computer to make the track cuts and stuff

    Besides I've already been through both discs completely and have watched clips of the big scenes a few times already

    I'm using a 20" and a 19" - Both running at 1600x1200.

    I'd love to switch over to a pair of LCD's but couldn't survive at 1280x1024 - LCD's that go higher are still far too expensive for home.

    Main is a 15" CRT. Also have a 19" that is not in use at the moment (probably used for when I get a mini) and a 15.4" widescreen LCD.

    Main pc has a 19" crt. It'll take higher with 75Hz but I run it at 1280x1024 with 85Hz.

    I also have a 17" crt on my backup pc set at 1024x768.

    17" Dell TFT that I've had for a few years now but I often use my TV also

    maybe you coulda had xx" tft & xx" crt as a 15" tft is better than a 17" crt plus the size diff isn't 2" (is it? ) but never mind

    17" is a nice size IMO. I won't go any lower than that though.

    Well maybe i could go down to a 15",but thats the MINIMUM and only if it was a LCD flat-panel for fairly cheap. Saving a little desk space is always nice.

    17" flat screen CRT, Trinitron. I think it might finally be starting to die. I'm gonna run it until it completely craps out, though. It's heavy, but a nice monitor.

    When it does die, I hope to get a 19" LCD, preferably something bigger in wide format.

    17 inch (16x9) LCD that has a NTSC tuner and multiple inputs. Besides the computer, I also use it for my (OTA) HDTV receiver, VHS Recorder, and DVD Recorder.

    (I voted 17 inch.)

    17 inch CRT. LCD are OK for Office, but I can't do video work on something with so little clarity and such poor colour reproduction. Maybe in another 3 - 5 years they will be OK.

    Where will you find one? EBay?
    CRT Monitors are quickly becoming extinct. My SONY Trinitron recently died and I ended up settling for the last 19" SAMSUNG CRT in a box at Best Buy.

    I miss my Sony.

    Edit: Here's a rebranded Dell 21" for less than. $200. Obviously going to be harder to find but can be found if you look. Maybe I should buy one now.

    24"CRT is my largest, and that's the viewable measurement. I got it at a good price when my company was initially getting these to place all over the office. I just asked if they could order 1 more and I pay for it. The rest of my monitors are all 19" viewable. I had a 20", but it crapped out.

    Just be proud of what you have. It's not necessarily the size that matters.
