19" crt or 21" crt

[jonspd]

I have been looking @ 2 monitor's and cant decide to stick with a 19 inch or change up to a 21 inch. I have a mag 19 inch but I want to go flat screen but I dont think the 2 veiwable inches is worth twice the price for a 21 inch also.

If you are willing to go refurb then check out www.surfplus.net. They have 21" Sony flat screens for around 230 plus shipping.

Other than that I always say bigger is better. :cool:

I have a 22" and love it. But if I could do it over again I would probably get a great 19" versus a good 21". My 22" just takes up too much room and produces TONS of heat in the summer. Good Luck.

Yea for some reason something is tell me to stick with a 19" instead up upgrading to a bigger one.

i'd take the 19inch, plenty big, u might be surprised. a flat screens do make quite a difference.

My choice would be the 21 incher...I have a Sony and out of all the monitors I have it gets the most use.

Well so for thats 2 vote's for the 19" and 2 for the 21".


I'am thinking about the 19 inch and hope for the best.

I don't care for 21s for gaming... they're too big for me, i end up glancing around the screen if I'm sitting close enough. Also I host lan parties, and they make my p.o.s. plastic tables warp :eek: at 80lbs each.

You might also want to check out refurbs from http://www.azatek.com. You can get refurb flat 19s for ~175 after shipping. We got 2 B grades shipped for like $250, Mitsubishi's... can't comment on quality or reliability since we haven't got them yet tho.

yes, 19inchers winning, thats my boy! i find that on larger monitors i just find myself sitting back farther, so through your perspective, it isnt really getting any bigger.

I like 19". I used both those monitors at a local gaming center and they are both great just depends on how much money you want to spend.
