Who Still Uses Old Monitors?

Posted by Cliff on from the old-doesn't-mean-useless dept.

skurrier asks: "Reading the comments for a totally unrelated article, an almost off topic post caught my eye: Someone said that they still had a Sun branded Sony GDM class monitor from way back, and (of course) it rocked then and still rocks. (Sorry, can't find the article, yet alone the comment) As I looked across my desk to that similar Sun branded Sony behemoth plugged into my PC I asked myself: How many people still use ancient monitors? And more importantly, what is the oldest monitor you still use regularly?"

    Same deal here, except for the Apple brand.

    I don't play games that require killer refresh rates, so the display issue is for crispness and size.

    The rest of the system is much the same. If parts need an upgrade that will actually help me, it gets done, else I'm happy with what is there.

    Doesn't XGA mean 1024x768? What's it mean in Tandy terms?

    I would say it's the other way around. 60 Hz is enough for games, but 60 Hz on the desktop gives me migraine in a matter of minutes.
