21 inches here, (about 3 years) and really enjoy it.

No sun that would not be cheating. Would do it myself if I had the $ and knew how.

I have heard of guys settng up a screen to the left and right with their left and right views also.

It would be cool to have 8 monitors for views and 1 for readio and clipboard

Just think of the money you would save as you only have to buy joysticks without hat switches

21 here.. actually I think I like the 19 better.

I'm currently switching back and forth trying to decide ...

Ask Skuzzy tho'...he's a super computer geek, and always has a good answer...including an NEC model that has the same tube as mine but a higher refresh rate! (i think it was a higher refresh rate!)

Yes, I have the NEC-950, which uses the Trinitron tube but runs at higher refresh rates. A few months ago NEC introduced the 955 model which has higher refresh rates than the 950 (up to 200Hz!), which makes that particular monitor the fastest monitor on the planet. It is only 19" though.
However, as my wife requires CAD in her job, she just got a 24" Sony flat screen and ,..well,...playing any game on it is very scary. Frakin graphics are in your face. Talk about immersion,..oy!

I probably will not upgrade my monitor until the Radeon 2 is shipping, as it looks like it will have the horsepower to push 1600x1200x32 bit graphics to the speed I prefer.

And yes,..I am a geek.

Just as I had suspected....this sim is full of cheaters!!!

Tell me this....when you made the change from a 19" to a 21", did it make that big of a diff?

I noticed a marked improvement when I made the jump from 17" to 19".

The thing I like about the 21" Monitor is you can set up close to it and play for hours. Then when it is time for you to go to bed.. you can shut your eyes and play for 3 more hours because the images are burned into your brain so completely!

More ACES HIGHbang for your buck!

the 21 is better for me since my eyes (and me) are a bit older

Plus, I can sit back away from the monitor so I don't get so much eye-strain.

(and yes,, I used to be a CAD guy, hence the large monitor)

from 19 to 21.. big difference as long as the rest of the specs are comparible.

dot pitch, refresh rate, etc.
