LCD Model?
Aspect Ratio?
Default resolution?
Response Time?
Brightness?
Pixel Pitch?
VGA / DVI ?

I still have a 19inch Hitachi SuperScan Elite 751 (CM751) CRT!

HanssG 17" LCD monitor. Got it last November. Very affordable, and so far has worked impeccably.
Works smoothly at 2048x1024.

Bought it mainly because LCD's are softer on the eyes....

I use about 4-year-old LG 1510S 15". It's default resolution is 1024x768.
It is my first LCD and I like it, but sometimes I get angry that it's too small

Well, that sucks.

I don't understand how this isn't a technical question / discussion.

Well, there's a lot of stuff I don't understand. And yet, I still live and pay taxes.

Brand? HP
LCD Model? L1940T
Aspect Ratio? 5:4
Default resolution? 1280x1024
Response Time? 8 ms
Brightness? 300 nits
Pixel Pitch? 0.294 mm
VGA / DVI? one on VGA, another on DVI

One of them has a single dead pixel. Used in a dual monitor setup they seem to be good monitors, can't find fault with them. They've just got to stand the test of time now.

get a decent 5.1 surround sound system. You didn't expect to get nice sound from internal speakers, did you? And if they did go loud they would probably shake around your screen which would suck.

I like my HP vs17e too but I have a problem with it when I use the nvidia driver for my graphics card the system doesn't recognize the exact monitor and I get a signal out of range error from the monitor when I use the generic nv driver I don't have hardware acceleration I'm trying to fix with no luck so far
blah....but otherwise the monitor is great

Brand? Dell
LCD Model? 2407WFP-HC
Aspect Ratio? 16:10 (Yea people, 16:9 is 1920x1080)
Default resolution? 1920x1200
Response Time? 6ms
Brightness? You mean contrast ratio? 1000:1
Pixel Pitch? 0.270 mm
VGA / DVI ? I'm using the DVI, but it has inputs for VGA, Composite, Component, and s-video.

Likes? Best contrast I've ever seen on an LCD, even lighting, colors are pretty good, viewing angles ROCK!!! (It's the good panel, IPS or whatever it's called... it's not a cheapy TN). Extremely fine pixels, LCD can rotate 90 degrees, adjustable stand up and down/left right. As 4 USB in ports on it, and SD/CF readers on the side. Made really well. Has a flat finish to it, I hate the glossy monitors (they look nice but get dirty quickly and are hard to clean).

Dislikes? It was like $150 cheaper a week later I bought it , bought from Dell for $699. Some type of color ghosting issue, if you drag let's say a blue bar across the screen really slowly, it's like the pixels don't flip quick enough to the other color and you get a light red bar behind it. The colored ghosting changes depending on the color of what you drag. This happens only with pretty large blocks of color and a certain speed, slow but a little fast. Gaming and general use I never notice it.

Regrets? None. I'll probably use this monitor for a decade max, but I'll use it as a monitor for other computers after its retirement from my main computer.
