which 20 - 22" CRT

#1

I have a Sony G520 which has begun going fuzzy - they are no
longer made.

I'm looking for 20 - 22 inch CRT which will be used for both
text and graphics. My present use is about 75% text and 25%
graphics (photo work with Photoshop etc.).

Looking for the best monitor - easiest to read text while
still providing rich color pallette. I would also hope for
a lot of adjustability, especially in the brightness and
contrast areas as I find that necessary for good text reading.

My Sony has a separate button for "picture effect" which
allows for three settings of brightness/contrast, just by
pushing the button. They refer to it as "Professional" good
for reading text, "standard" and "dynamic" - each of these
automatically providing more brightness and contrast. I
love this feature but I realize I may have to do without it.

Price is not a primary consideration.

Suggestions and recommendations greatly appreciated.

There's not many choices left. You'll just have to go to NewEgg or
whatever and take what they'll sell you.

I just bought a 24 inch Samsung wide screen LCD monitor, 1920 by 1200. I do
not think I will ever go back to a CRT. The monitor cost about 1750 out the
door.

I thought that Sony stopped making the smaller CRT
monitors (17" and less). I believe that they are still
making the larger ones (19" to 24").

As of a year or more ago, they'd dropped all the CRTs but the
GDM-C520K Artisan, and it appears that's gone now too.

A quick google on [price "GDM-C520K"] wasn't encouraging.

My problem is poor eyesight.

Therefore, I want to be able to change resolution. I'm now
working at 1024x768 with large fonts. My system could
manage a much higher resolution, but my eyes cannot.

Anyone contemplating a buy from TD needs to do some
googling, and maybe even read the FTC case(s?).

I'd sooner buy a run-out Artisan on eBay and send it
to Sony San Diego for refurb myself.

Only problem is that shipping is quite expensive for CRT monitors.
Look for something with a Trinitron (Sony) or Diamondtron (Mitsubishi,
NEC) tube. The Dell monitors are good as they use these tubes.
thanks - that's a good thing to know. I'm really perfectly

happy with the one I have if it weren't going fuzzy.

I've bought from them as well, but in retrospect feel
like I dodged a bullet.

If you were a gamer or graphics pro you would.

door.

Sucker.

Hehe. I know I wouldn't trade my F500R for anything out there
today...
