Otherwise, everything is too small even on a 19". This varies somewhat from monitor to monitor. My old 15" LCD looked awful with any resolution below 1024x768. My laptop is the same way. This one (which is a fairly cheap model) handles all of the sizes nicely. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Dettman [mailto:jimdettman at earthlink.net] Sent: Friday, December 12, 2003 9:41 AM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: LCD Monitors for Development Myke, I have a 19" Dell CRT and a new 19" Dell LCD. While the Dell LCD is nice, it's not as good as it could be. I've seen other brands that look better (the dot pitch is a bit higher than it should be). As far as using two screens: wouldn't live without it<g>. A couple of points: 1. You get a lot more area on a LCD then a CRT. CRT tubes are measured on a diagonal and the tube extends well beyond the shell, so you don't get what you think your getting. On my 19" CRT, I end up with only 17" viewable. On a LCD, what's advertised is the viewable size (19" is 19"). So you may not need as large of LCD as you think you might. 2. LCD's look good at only one specific resolution. Ever other will appear fuzzy. My Dell 19" is best at 1280 x 1024, but I need to boost the font size. Otherwise, everything is too small even on a 19". 3. Don't adjust LCD's like you would CRT's in regard to refresh rate. Most LCD's work better at a *lower* rate then a higher one. Let the graphics card decide what's best for a given resolution (most have an auto adjust type feature or optimal setting). Jim Dettman President, Online Computer Services of WNY, Inc.

Does anyone use such a setup? Can anyone recommend a brand/model for 19" LCD monitors?
