19 " / 21 " CRT Monitor ?

Which are best options available … im looking more towards 21" , what are the approx prices and performance of these 21" compared to 19" , is it just the screen size or gaming and visual performance.

Budget ( 15 to 20 k )

:slight_smile:

Go for a 19" LCD instead. I used to be a crt only guy but now I just cant stand the blurry images of a CRT.

The G-series in viewsonic 19". Cost is around 13k i believe.

In 19", the Viewsonic G90 is probably the best, for around 13.5K .21" would mostly be more than 20K.

And if you are planning to game on a 21", you’ll need a very powerful graphics card as well, as anything below 1280x1024 would look very bad on the large screen. You’ll probably need 1600x1200 for gaming.

Viewsonic G-90F RS: 13,500/- IVORY ONLY
Viewsonic G-220F RS: 27,500/- IVORY ONLY

They are the best.

LOL I think he was one of the X1900XT guys :face_with_tongue:

Ohhhhhh!!! Go for 21" then! :blush:

Thanks guy , how about this

Philips 201B40 - 21" Ivory CRT … i tried finding some reviews but didnt find one … how are philips monitors. in the price guide , it is 18500 …seems a good price for 21" ?

Samsung 997DF and 1100DF… do consider… very good…can personally vouch for them…I use the 997 more often though… other one is used more as a TV with a leadtek Tv card..

damm these 19" lcd’s are expensive :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

anything below 25k for these 19" ?

any idea about the approx pricing of the 2

:slight_smile:

If u want a 19" i’d say go for the Samsung 997DF…also there is a Philips model with aperture grill within 20k i am not sure abt the model…just look that up its an excellent monitor.

Samsung 997DF = 13k
Samsung 1100DF = 25k

But the Viewsonic G series is the best.

DarkKnight is selling his Viewsonic 19" 4ms response time LCD for 24K i believe, u may contact him or Switch for the same…

But puneet for that price consider the Viewsonic g90 as the first option in 19"…

yup , g90 is top on my list for 19"

nothing on philips monitors ? the 21" 201B40 for 18500 looks a good buy wat say .

I’d suggest the G90 !

Its gonna rock with a X1900XT alright :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: !

From the specs i would say the G90 because it can even go upto 2048X1536 and at 1600X1200 does more than 75 Hz, and after all it is a Viewsonic G series. But dont just go by the specs, try to actually see it or get someone’s opinions who have used the montiors and then decide.

The VS E90/96fsb look great but cannot handle 1600x1200 at 75hz!! :angry:
G90 does that at 77hz but ivory only!! also i didn’t quite like the looks!! :face_with_tongue:

Also the no good E90 is 22kgs whereas the others are lighter at 18 odd!! :no_entry:

997DF is also lighter, grrr… but much more compact than the others, depthwise at least!! so more space on desk!!

Philips managed 1600x1200 at 76hz earlier i think so also good enough and seems like it may have better screen and colours but service- i think i was advised against only for service related probs!! also parts/service pricier!!
it was cheaper then too!!

WTF- this 19incher on philips india manages only 73hz for 1600x1200!! Thats max!! :angry:
Then lower res will be tough for it too!!:frowning:
Philips out!!

Recommend that you check the G90 and 997DF in action, seems like either of the two if its a 19incher!! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Gulbir of Prime mentioned to me a month back they have a used Philips 21" CRT for around 10 K.

The 997DF has a quite a small foot print
