![]() ![]() LCD monitors are period incorrect for DOS gaming (pixels vs blocks and scan lines). Look for similar specs and you'll be fine. The epic Sony FW900 (the newer of their 24" widescreen CRTs) has a 121kHz scan rate and 0.23mm dot pitch. You also want as low a dot pitch as possible. IMHO, any horizontal scan rate over 96kHz is good, and the higher the better. They determine what resolutions the screen can handle at a given vertical refresh rate, and even though it's not a 100% match, if the monitor supports (very) high refresh it's generally a high-end screen with good picture quality. I currently have a 17" Iiyama screen with Diamondtron tube, specifically chosen because it offered high refresh rates at high resolutions on a relatively small screen, as I don't want a giant filling half my room any more.Īs a rule of thumb, watch the specs for horizontal scan rate. 2000-2005), and you could get the Sun & SGI models for a fraction of the price of the Sony equivalents.These days it's the other way around: few people are interested in CRTs of any description, but the Sun & SGI stuff is getting rare and the dinosaurs collecting that stuff drive monitor prices up too. Personally I had a lot of Sun & SGI monitors, all using Sony tubes - as at the time I was into *BIG* CRTs I was also rather strapped for cash (student or later dropout with young child to support), just at the time everyone was ditching RISC UNIX systems and migrating to x86 and Windows or Linux (i.e. It's not impossible to have a good shadow mask screen, but usually that's the cheap & dirty option and it shows. Generally (Sony) Trinitron and (Mitsubishi) Diamondtron have a deserved good reputation. Best is to look at the underlying display tubes & electronics. ![]() What other brand and CRT model# have awesome picture quality? ![]() Maybe it looks better on a smaller size monitor for example a 17inch ![]() But i don´t know for me it is kind of too much. ![]()
