SheepKilla 473 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Does anyone still use them for PCs? Can you even buy them anymore? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DynamiteCop 2,085 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I do for my compatibility PC, and yeah you can find them on Craigslist or OfferUp. If I could track down a Sony FW900 I would legitimately throw my 27" 144hz LCD in the trash. Edited January 15, 2019 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I still forget I have my Samsung SyncMaster 997df monitor I bought like way back in 2005. I am a bit uncertain about what its resolution was. The monitor looked sharp, but I think I remember keeping the brightness levels down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have trouble believing that I had monitor capable of 1440 back in 2005. There's no reason for me to run Windows XP, much less video games in anything over 1024 x 768. Certain monitors back then, if you tried outputting it at the highest resolutions, you could hear this unbearable high pitched noise from the tube.

I had monitors from the late 90's that were 1600x1200, I don't see why 1920x1440 seems off, the FW900 from 2003 was 2304x1440. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not even joking, but I honestly think a 1024x768 CRT looks better in quality than a 1900x1200 LCD. I don't know why, but something about it is WAY easier on the eyes.

Well I can't speak for anyone else but I live in the Seattle area and the tech focus out here made these things easily accessible. My monitor was 2048 x 1536. Edited January 16, 2019 by DynamiteCop!
