Too early for New Year's Resolutions?

[Dr.Flay]

I still quite like 1024x768

A non-existent choice? Looks like it is quite common here having an around 10 years old crappy CRT, which keeps falling apart?

hehe, just having a laugh.
That resolution is very existent !

Well actually I have a posh designers monitor that goes to massive sizes, but I only ever use those sizes for audio software.
I run different programs on different size resolutions, depending on the need (I am an Amiga user, so that is how I roll baby)
I have profiles set, so when I open certain progs, Windows changes for me.
The desktop, with nothing running but Winamp uses 1024x768
When I watch a DVD, it changes to 800x600 (European PAL resolution being 720x576).
I also play UT @ 800x600 and Unreal @ 1024x768
I edit in UEd at 1280x1024
and run visualizers at 640x320 or less (smoooooth and faaaast !)

Actually I am now sitting in front of a newer LCD flat-screen in the Cafe. It has a maximum size of 1024x768 (half the size of my older CRT)

And as web pages should be made at 1024x768 or lower, I will stick with my "new years resolution" until I have a widescreen monitor (or until I convert to Win7+).

Just having some fun

b]an around 10 years old[/b] crappy CRT

My old CRT is from 2001...


My goal is this (I really hate Apple for the Macs and MacBooks they made ...but they have some neat Monitores)


Or THIS ... this is the Motherlode

@Flay: Means 1024 x 768 is maximum^^
@paper: Always looking for unreal offers?
I bought this one in 2010 for around 130 euros I guess:
However not available anymore, as it seems.

Well, I'm a graphic artist...

seems nice, but how good can it display Adobe "Wide Gamut RGB" and "ProPhoto RGB"

As this LCD flatscreen only goes to 1024x768, I am going to make it a custom driver.
I will give this monitor a "New years Resolution" of 1025x769 (just for the sheer hell of it)

BTW. As far as I am concerned the sooner Acer die, and stop polluting the world with crap hardware that customers bring me to fix, I will be happy.
They make cheap crap look like expensive shiny stuff. As soon as I open them up, I want to throw them against the wall, rather than fix it.
Acer/Aopen have made some of the worst optical drives and laptops I ever had the misfortune to get an RMA number for.

A few years ago, the son of one of the company owners was trying to show off his "fancy" mini PC they gave him. I told him I could upgrade it, or build him something better (he did not like that ).
They didn't even give a family member anything more than a toy, that looked great (until someone stole it!)

BTW. I use a LaCie monitor at home.

Use that site to see if the monitor you want has good colour accuracy.
