Entering LCD world

I got my 17 inch Samsung Monitor after various hesitation on which brand to by. ViewSonic is also a good choice but my older Samsung CRT performed well so went for the Samsung. It seems like new things becoming more affordable these days.

If u buy a LCD there are some differences from the usual CRT world we have used to. First the brightness. Most LCD users are saying their screen are more bright. of course u there is a brightness control, but for me it seems too bright no matter what. Second problem or the ajustment to make as a new LCD user is that the viewing angle is 90 degrees. I used to rotate a litte maybe 100 - 120 degrees in the CRT. Now with the LCD I need to ajust with the straightening screen hmm. Also we need to use the native the screen resolution, in my case 1282X1024 becuase if we change it to anyting else the fonts are blurred and the images are not clear. But on the good side I got more space on my computer table !! thats a bigger plus point !

My final conclusion is that LCD is way better than CRT spacially with gaming, interner surfing and entretionment stuff, reduced eye strain and the electricity bill.
