GPP: 58; GT: 59.464 Unless you had a really good CRT and/or a really crappy LCD, I'd guess it's the CRT's fault. When I made the switch it was like holy crap I can see.  Could be that you have the brightness too high or too low, or a low refresh rate, or too high a resolution for the size of the screen.____________________ |

Give it some time. When I started using LCD monitors, I had a hard time trying to adjust to them. Now (about a year later), I can't stand looking at CRT monitors. YMMV. ____________________ cgg | /proj/ | Tableless Layouts GO! |

| CRTs, the good ones, are better than LCD anyway, save for their power consumption.
For one, CRTs can display black. LCDs can't. |

So I just got an LCD monitor today.
I've noticed a few things about it. Like, it's bright enough so I don't have to use hardware gamma adjustment. And it has a perfectly clear picture on resolutions above 800 by 600. (These comparisons are based on my previous CRT.) It may be cheap by some standards, but the response time is better than some I've seen, and the contrast ratio (450:1) is good enough for me, since now I can see the difference between dark colors. Metal_Man: When I auto-adjusted it, I had a 4-pixel checkerboard pattern (white top left and bottom right, the other two black) set as my background. The effect was like TV static before adjusting. After, I could see individual white and black pixels. Try that pattern on your LCD monitor, it may need adjusting. Also: ClearType looks nice. Also also: I just noticed some light dots on my screen. They're less than half the size of a pixel, too, so they're not stuck pixels. Any ideas? ____________________ |

The light spots are only visible on a dark background, and when I take off my glasses and look closer, the dots are a lot smaller than I thought, and they look like they're between pixels.
It's a 17-inch Gem monitor, model GM-170B. I got it used, so I can't exchange it. ____________________ |

I don't think they're stuck pixels. The spots are between pixels, very small in comparison to pixels, and way too dark. They completely disappear on any color lighter than the purple in these tables. From what I've seen, stuck pixels are typically the lightest shade of red, green, blue, or a combination of those, and visible from more than 2 feet away. However, the spots fit none of these descriptions.
And I have seen stuck pixels before, so I know exactly what they look like. (School computers.) On the topic of school computers, I can say confidently that I could do a better job of managing them. Fuzzy displays are caused by cheap video cables, and very annoying, so I use a high quality shielded cable for my monitor. Slow computers are a direct result of too much software crap, so I install only what I need to make my computer work, and no more. A laptop dying after 5 minutes running is caused by a dead cooling fan, not viruses (which appearently nobody was able to figure out) so I now have said laptop. I could go on and on. ____________________ "In a few years you'll drive your Google to the Google to buy some Googles for your Google." ~Jason |
