lazarus February 10, 2004 Share lazarus Member February 10, 2004 well, ive ordered everything except my new monitor ive taken the advice of the forums and decided on a crt im gonna try to nab a +21" monitor on ebay but im having a hard time one thing that keeps bothering me is this: if the discription say "true flat" or "perfect flat" tube does that refer to the front part of the monitor? cause the one i got is 22" and the screen is almost flat but not quite there, are these the same thing -- tube vs screen? am i being dumb?

flux February 10, 2004 Share flux Member February 10, 2004 Well, one thing is for sure. I am trying to nab one too off of ebay. I had a 22" Compaq perfect flat for 60 bucks brand new. The other thing is they kill you with the shipping. He wanted 75 bucks for shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playaa February 10, 2004 Share Playaa Member February 10, 2004 I don't know the difference between true flat and perfect flat...but I DO know it means the front of the tube (screen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman February 10, 2004 Share Birdman Member February 10, 2004 Im thinking true and perfect are nothing more than marketing terms. If its got a flat screen thats what you want. get nothing smaller then 19". MAke sure its a brand name, has some warrenty(prolly wont though), and is aperture grill. Check and see if itll run 1600x1200 at 85Hz of refresh cause if it can then you got yourself a nice gaming monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL February 10, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member February 10, 2004 True Flat and Perfect Flat are more than likely the same thing. Regular CRTs usually have a slight curve to the front of the screen. The True/Perfect Flat CRTs screen fronts have no curvature. The Sony Trinitrons (I believe that Dell is a relabled Trinitron) are flat screened CRTs.

Birdman February 10, 2004 Share Birdman Member February 10, 2004 If thats in good werking order I dont think its too much to pay. Wonder when it was made? cause most monitors only last 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL February 11, 2004 Share dwEEziL Member February 11, 2004 What dude is it? Remember DeathsHead? He said he got all his monitors off of "MonitorMon" from eBay. I have checked out his monitors (lots of the Dell/Sony Trinitrons) and he usually sells his with the 3yr warranties too. Just checked his stuff again, still looks good to me. http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?View...sort=3&since=-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
