17" lcd cus of thinner boarder makes bigger viewing area.
lol......they are both the same size, LCD screens just look bigger because they have less boxing and frame.

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/betterOriginally posted by Pajatso
Go and measure it and u will know..
Thx guys for the help.
i just got a wisdescreen anf everyone in KO looks short and fat =/
Anyone know how to force 1680 x 1050 res? :blink:

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)
true 17" crt has around 15.7" viewablle areaOriginally posted by C4pt4iN
