Noes! my CRT!

by Arachon • 12 Oct 2009, 12:27 • Journals
My old CRT screen said poof and then it started smelling really bad....it's gone man! :(

Just checked some Danish hw-sites and none of them sell CRTs anymore :(

Guess I'll have to switch to crap LCD or plasma; any suggestions?

What's your budget and what size do you want?
▼
Arachon 12 Oct 2009, 13:35
Budget wise, I really don't know. I was saving up for a new TV, but I guess it will be used on this screen instead; I think around 270-300 euro.

I has to be good for FPS games. Size-wise, well, my old screen was a 17'' CRT.

*Edit*
I was thinking of buying this one: http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/samsung-syncmaster-t240-lcd/4505-3174_7-33090369.html

take into account that such a size will limit you to basically any modern game available, with such a system listed in ur profile

ebay is full of them man, just make sure you buy one from a decent shop that's recalibrated (or fixed w/e) them.

If I start ordering a CRT from abroad it surely has to be a good one :D Hmm but maybe..

search for "monitor" and single out the kategories like 19" etc, you should find some :S
You can always go to your local PC store and get one there, you even get to check it out n stuff and usually they sell them pretty cheap!
