HELP!!! My PC is crashing.

So far so good. It's only given me one blink and that could be from the lack of usage and in warming it up. (Hopefully.)

I am amazed at how clear this thing is. Nothing beats a CRT. And, I've just been through 5 or 6 LCDs and LEDs wide screen testing them.

I will be buying that 22" in a month or two as well.

I have to agree with you Rick. Every LCD I've seen just doesn't compare to a good ol' CRT.

I disagree but that's a personal preference. Also, I like more desk space and lower energy consumption.

I like my wide screen LCDs as I can park the menu bar out of the way on one side. None of the CRTs I've owned, was as bright, something I like, although the CRT detail was good. None of the CRTs ever failed on me. I have one LCD that quit after about a year. I bought a Kodak printer at about the same time and it failed. Both products of China. MY newest LCD is almost a year old. Maybe I should knock on wood. At least it was not made in China.

Thought I'd post another update. Something you LCD lovers will like to hear.
I have a graphics card that'll run about 1,000 miles an hour, (just as an example, btw), and a CRT monitor that runs about 500 miles an hour and, I do notice the difference in load times.
Web pages and graphics load quite a bit slower, now. Videos or streams run slower, too.
So, I do have a bottleneck running analog over DVI.
It isn't something I can't live with, though... I love my CRT.

Conversions always degrade performance, be it analogue-digital or vice versa.

I am glad to hear that you have found a monitor you are happy with. Lcd, crt. What ever it takes. The fact it slows you down doesn't even matter. You are retired. Whats the hurry?

[thegrindre]

My thoughts exactly, Gwizz.

In Finland we say "Nobody is as busy as a pensioner or a worker on vacation" :)

[Gwizz]

Before you retire, you get paid for overtime. Now all I get is a longer list of things to do.
Maybe I should take a rest and retire from retirement and return to work.
