Screen resolution poll

Working from home, in a small room with the PC running all day, LCD has several advantages for me; it takes up less space, it gobbles less energy and it doesn't make the room unbearably hot. I've got a mate who runs four 21'' LCDs in a small home office (see below), he'd need to install air conditioning with CRTs.

What do you think we all did before LCD were invented? I used to work on a big trading floor in the City. more than 750 workers all with at least two 17 or 19 CRTs on their desks. LCDs are fine but if you want to do serious video work, if having your display colour calibrated to your scanner and printer ( so that the colours on your display, printer and scanner are the same) then CRT is still the only real option.

 

I would love to reclaim the desk space from my CRT displays, but I could not afford a LCD with the same specs as my CRTs

Mines 800 by 600. And its annoying when people write websites for bigger screens.
