CRT Monitor with VERY flat-screen

[Bruce Chambers]

Hi:
I am looking for a VERY flat-screen CRT Monitor. The CRT Monitor I've
been using has a bit 'curved' screen, although the ad. saying that it's
'flat-screen.'

Wonder which CRT Monitor has a very flat-screen?

Thanks for any help.

Sony Trinitron, if they're still being made.

Your question is really off-topic for a Windows newsgroup, but in
general, when it comes to CRTs, "flat-screen" only means "close to
flat." I've never seen a CRT with a perfectly flat screen.

If you want a really flat screen, get an LCD monitor.

CRT monitors are rare nowadays. I remember that there was a mode;
named "Flatron."

BTW LCD monitor may be cheaper that new CRT monitors now. I can get
LCDs for under $200.

Thanks all for the responses.

I need to explain the reason why I want to CRT Monitor is that
a quality of Photo-Image is MUCH better than those, newer LCD
Monitor.

If there is a good monitor for viewing photoes, I would like to
purchase if it's under $300.

Any idea on this would be grateful.

Have you EVEN tried doing the SLIGHTEST online search for a CRT
monitor????

I don't think so. There are plenty to choose from given your price
range.

You are obviously a freaking moron.

Try Compaq. From my experience they are 95% flat and render a perfect
display. Don't get an LCD. Their image quality is below the perfection
of a CRT, are blurred as **** (an easy headache inducer) especially
when it concerns movement, so you can forget games/flash movies or
anything involving visual precision as you'll probably blow a hole
thru the monitor in 2 minutes after your eyes have finished being
violated. The image can also have negative color regions if you don't
look at it from the perfect angle, so you can forget watching movies
with friends, or even alone as the corners look most like shit even at
the right angle.

LCDs. Suck. Balls. Don't get one. Wait for that new technology being
developed that's gonna utilize luminous plastic. It'll be as
lightweight and protable as an LCD with the visual perfection of a
CRT. In the meantime, stick with the CRT and don't waste your cash on
some bullshit, faulty technology like LCD.

I doubt that any monitor is truely "flat."

First, there's the issue of integrity. The innards of the tube are under a
significant vacuum. To have an almost flat face, I would think the glass
would have to terrifically thick to handle the pressure. Secondly, the
electron guns target will distort more and more as they reach out to a flat
surface.

Thanks for clear and detailed explanation on this, CRT.

Currently, there are two different 'CRT' monitors in my household, one of
which is more flat than the other, but its color getting fade. Then, I
decided
to search for its replacement.

The reason why I love 'CRT' is because I've been doing Photo-Web-posting
and need a good-quality photo-image monitor, for that CRT with flat-screened
monitor accomodates my need.

Prior to posting here, I searched several web-sites along with several
local PC stores, however there is few to none CRT monitors available,
not to mention any reputable CRT monitors.

Most of CRT monitors indicationg 'flat-screen,' but it's actually a bit
'curved' flat screen, unlike the one I've been using, but going bad soon.

Then, it's tough to find a CRT-monitor with flat-screen. On the otherhand,
I truly understand it, as reading your detailed response to my query.

Thanks,

On what basis do you say a CRT gives a better picture than a LCD monitor? An
LCD has better specs by far than any CRT.

I don't think you're going to get your answer here. You need to see an
actual monitor yourself to determine how flat it is and how good its
color results are. You already have received a couple of suggestions on
brands to investigate.

Newer LCD monitors, even at under $300, have pretty good color
adjustments available, but it's up to you to decide what you really want.

Get a *good* LCD monitor then.

Hint: This excludes anything made by the likes of Acer.

How can you be sure that "Acer" monitors aren't the same as one or
more other manufacturers?

There appear to be MORE "brands" of electronic components than there
might be manufacturers.

Go to the digital camera department of your local Best Buy or other
superstore.

Note how many cameras of different "brands" appear to be identical
with only a few cosmetic differences.

I agree totally. I have LCD screens for both my computers, and they
are not easy to read when anything is moving, but the big problem is
that anyone else looking at the screen while I'm sitting in front of
it has to view the image at an angle -- and any angle off a LCD seems
to result in extreme color distortion.

I kept two CRTs, and every now and then I wish I had them on my deisk
instead of this LCD thing.

Your question is really off-topic for a Windows newsgroup, but in
general, when it comes to CRTs, "flat-screen" only means "close to
flat." I've never seen a CRT with a perfectly flat screen.

They used to be very abundant. Though in practice although the face was
flat, the screen side of the faceplate was slightly concave (to the viewer)
to eliminate an optical illusion that made the screen itself look concave.

If you want a really flat screen, get an LCD monitor.

Can you actually buy CRT monitors these days?
