| I decided to get a tft 22" because the technology is rather good now, even in the analogue ones like the one I got a LG flatron. Some of my games do not support the massive native res at source and so the eye candy is ever so slightly less quality than a crt (if at all) Native res delivers superb, in my case unprecedented eye candy. So much so that there is no need to enable system busting AA and so all games for instance that use the unreal 3 engine run as dandy as they did on my 17" crt @ 4xAA 16xAF. Movies look the same (Low res by default) as a crt, but Photos look like your are at the scene looking through the lensce ready to take the photo. I was gonna pass on TFT technology for the pc and wait for next gen screens, but at the price you can now get a good quality 22"TFT then the expense makes it worth while as next gen screen will not be on the scene any time soon, 3 years ish.
 A tearfull Merry Christmas to all forumties? Why: My Wife is leaving me for a Limbo Dancer. I ask you Guys how low can you go.

Yep had the same debate when I switched from my 20" Samsung CRT to a TFT. I trawled through any number of reviews to find the best out there and stumble on the Samsung 215tw TFT that got rave reviews for image quality and colour reproduction and got lucky as they where trying to get shot of stock (the price had gone from a rrp of £625 to £249), though sadly they're no longer available otherwise I'd have bought another for a twin screen set up.

Just been out to Dixons (Sorry Curry.digital !? Naff name) and bought a 22" Samsung 2232BW for £189.95, cheapest I've seen it bar Pixmania. Cheap now cos the T220 are out, and though they look nice not prepared to pay £30-40 more.
Anyway, the picture is fantastic, amazing in fact.
Only prob. is the missus don't know yet, and she can't fail to see it on the desk  My 17" is going to my 13 year old, so she is in on the lie, that her monitor broke. Gulp, hope she swallows it.

Yeah, been a TFT fan since they've come out. However, I want the HP w2207h or the w2408h (22" or 24"!) as my new monitor. The pictures on those are class. Been oogling them playing EVE demo at tesco yesterday and saw them in Comet today. However, I shall wait until pay day! (as I don't have a credit card yet)
