If your art isn’t being criticized by Disney, get yourself a bargain. I’m using the HP vs19e flat panel LCD.
reasons:
1 HP – Great tech support. I have 2 all-in-one scanner,printer,copier because of HP’s support. the 1st one took a header [inside warranty] from the desktop at 4 ft. Yanked the USB connector to shreds. I need a printer, so I got the HP 2355v, b4 contacting HP to repair the connector.
They said ship the old one, and they sent me a refurbed. NO Charge, NOT EVEN shipping.
2 Last CRT 17 " burned out ridiculously. just sitting their working away and phhhffttt. It quit.. 1,5 years old. That was a TTT or something with a bunch of T’s in the name. Worked, but I expect obsolescence to last more than a week beyond the warranty.
3 weight…
4 footprint, takes up less room.
5 well there was an initial shock in the difference of the screen. ie: Mine sits with the bottom about 7 inches above eye level. Not enough room on the desktop for it and everything else so it sits on a bookcase I sat on the desk. What happens here is that viewing from below, the screen is much darker than if you look at it on eye level. With the CRT, the brightness was the same from all angles. It’s something I can live with.
6 price. about the same as everything else. Plus HP sells thru Walmart making everything even cheaper.
I don’t think you’re going to be able to save money with a LCD. CRT’s are going out, so they’ll be the best cash bargain.
