Classic Amiga Monitors - To Use or Not to Use?

[Thorham]

I use a 17 inch SVGA CRT as my second peecee monitor (other one is a flat panel) and I use that for my A1200 as well. Having two monitors is great, and the CRT works well with my Amiga (only double scan, though).

Nothing wrong with CRTs, except that they're getting old.

"Nothing wrong with CRTs..." - really?

Yeah, really :p

Except that they take up a huge amount of real estate.

Obviously it depends on the size A 17 inch CRT doesn't take up a lot of space at all.

they look so much more authentic and how I remember on a CRT.

Sure, but I use an SVGA monitor with VGA dongle on my A1200. This looks nothing like a 1084. It also doesn't sync below 30khz.

On an Amiga, which can support pretty high resolutions, I still can not see the point.

Cash. I'm a little short on money right now, so replacing the CRT I use is simply not an option at all.
