HOLYCR..OW! Wow what a difference a 27" monitor makes...

1993 called for you. They wanted to know if you still have their CRT somewhere back there.

Believe it or not some of us still look out for a good CRT now and then. I don't have any CRT PC monitors, but I do have a Sony 36" CRT Wega TV to play my vintage game consoles on, since LCD TVs suck for those. Also have a legit 29" CRT tri-sync arcade monitor for my arcade cabinet project. For some things, you just can't beat the original technology.

I have a 25" Sony Trinitron monitor somewhere in storage that still works. It has two, VGA ports.

I REALLY never expected (what was at the time) a newer tech. to last 15 years, and the old monitor is still going strong but I wanted to upgrade.

What is the longest you've had an LCD monitor last w/continuous use?

Yeah, I am not sure I want to move across the mouse pad 3 times to hit the other end of the screen...

lol.. true true... i increase the sensitivity and acceleration. but one does have to precise sometimes but i don't do graphics requiring that level of precision when getting to points on a screen.

My current 24" is going on about 8+ with no signs of any problems whatsoever. I don't remember when, exactly, I bought it. It may actually be older than I can recall. Computers have gotten much more reliable if you start with good components. I overclocked my system and it lasted more than 10 years. I've upgraded parts so many times, the motherboard (I'm estimating about 7 + generations old) is no longer capable of accepting the newer peripherals and still everything is working fine.

Emulation is great, I use it for all the console systems on my computers. I run Mesen and the Retroarch core for Nestopia UE for NES though, most accurate emulators available.

However, nothing beats an original NES console with an Everdrive connected to a CRT TV. Original hardware, original controllers, no emulator glitches or lag, and I can play light gun games. Can you play Hogan's Alley on your LCD?

That's not a monitor, THIS is a monitor:

42" 4K TV.... 3840x2160.

Thats what I use. 43" 4K TVs are cheap nowdays...

Only issue is your video card has to be able to support it and refresh rate is very important. If you can't run your stuff at 4K/60 forget it.

I tried one of those huge 49" Dell curved monitors. Honestly, it was awful. A massive amount of desk space taken up by a thing with an awkward resolution that sort of worked like 2 monitors, but then you were always turning your head one way or the other. They are garbage.

My 4K I split into 4 HD monitors. Some of the other guys here split theirs into like 6 or 7 monitors of various resolutions.
