Re: Monitor screen res?

Devon, hmm, youd spend more on the fuel than it would cost to buy it new

The monitor market at the moment is fascinating, because the best performing CRT products cost less than a third of the equivalent sized popular TFT products the general public want.

Its probably the best example of style over substance consumerism there has ever been.

There have been examples in the past where inferior products win a format war (a la betamax vs VHS), but not when there is such a huge difference in the price of equivelent goods.

In a Japanese-esque space-driven society the TFT thing makes sense, but not in the UK, I just cant get my head round it
