    lol......they are both the same size, LCD screens just look bigger because they have less boxing and frame.

    Seems i was wrong

    LCD's measure the screen size, and CRT's are measured by monitor size.

    So on a 17inch CRT you actually get like 16inch viewing area and 1inch of frame.

    hmm well then I'll have to buy a 19'' LCD to be sure it's bigger than the CRT 17'' that I've got now

    I would recommend the lcd im currently using, its excellent for gaming (one of the best) and its not that expensive anymore.

    When you view the monitors its like:
    17" lcd = 19" crt
    19" lcd = 21" crt

    And both 17 and 19" lcd use 1280x1024 as recomenden ress(in most cases).

    And you think I would do that... It's a lot easier to ask pro gamers what's bigger/better

    Thx guys for the help.

    But i dont get why buy a small pic monitor, 80% of all use 4/3 so you only get to use part of the screen, if you buy a tv 50" or bigger then ok. (why am so agenst them are 60", my eyes have a problem with that when you work in windows)
