Not me. Text is how to judge a good monitor. I have a 20 in Apple Trinitron
display sitting on the shelf behind me. Games look AWESOME on it, but trying to
read text on it gives me a headache. The previous owner must have left it on 24
hours a day. It suffers from serious fade and burn-in, and the focus is shot (I
even opened it to play with the focus nob which helped a teeny bit). It makes
me so sad...I looks like it would be so good, but alas it was not to be.

P.S. The monitor is inheirited, and I am talking about my at work setup.

NEC has a 21" Screen I believe that is like $5000 and is awesome. Saw one at a presentation from NEC showing their wares and they had Quake II running on it. Good test of a screen in my book. Thought my wife would shoot me if I spent $5000 on a flat (...) (27 years ago, 21-Sep-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.publish)
