The monitor you've selected will be just fine for FReeping.
However, if you want to frag some bad guys in the shadows playing Unreal Tournament, this monitor is totally unacceptable!
I still use a CRT for my main computer though I find myself on my notebook computer most of the time.
I see that Costco doesn't carry CRTs anymore. I don't know what I'll do after this 17" monitor goes!
should i stick with a crt? they still sell them at pc mall.
I know! I'm still clinging onto my 21" Hitachi CRT ! :P
CRTs are being phased out, just like traditional TVs are in favor of LCD or plasma wide-screen. The only place where you'll find a CRT monitor is at a second-hand computer store or on eBay.
