Monitor for AOne
« on: March 24, 2003, 01:56:59 PM »
I'm going to upgrade my monitor for AOne.  While I was thinking of going the LCD route, I'm not sure I can justify the extra expense.

So, does anyone have opinions on reasonably decent 19inch CRT monitors.  I have a Belinea one that I use for the PC but this makes a nasty clunk when changing res.  This is okay for the PC because you don't tend to do that very often.  

Obviously for the Amiga, screen/res changes can be quite frequent (especially with the sort of apps I run) so can anyone recommend a *quiet* monitor that changes frequency reasonably quickly.  The Belinea would drive me mad within a week.   :-x

The older noname LCD is not so good, but still way ahead of
any 21" CRT (same size as 18" LCD) in the same priece-range.


To be honest, it's not the size of the screen necessarily its the res.  How high does your 18" LCD go?  

Interestingly, I was looking at a cheap Proview (urgghh!) 17" LCD and the picture looked pretty good at 1024x768 even though it was a 1280x1024 screen.  For less than 300 ukp.

Well, I run my 19" CRT at 1600x1200 so I guess that is just what I am used to.

Hmmm, still undecided really.

I've got to admit though, I run Amiga Forever on the PC at 1600x1200 in 32bit and I really like it!!

So I guess, I'm going to go for a CRT anyway.

Thanks for your opinions guys and I'll stay away from Proview!

Thanks for everyone's opinions, eventually I got a 19" iiYama CRT.

Now, all I need is an AOne.

19" high-quality CRT-monitors have become very cheap novadays. I went for a 19" Silver/Black Hyundai CRT-monitor 1600 x 1200 85Hz DynaFlat-X! Take a look atthe following address



Hmmm.  After trying the iiYama last night I have to say I'm not that impressed.  The picture quality at 1600x1200 is not as good as my Belinea one.  In fact I would go as far as to say that I could not run WB at 1600x1200 as I wouldn't be able to read the text.

I tested both monitors with my Radeon 9100 and the difference is quite noticable.  Dabs may even be getting a returned montior to be honest.
