Flat screen .....that much better?
I know nothing about monitors. Is having a flat screen monitor that much better than the traditional monitors. Will I really know the difference?

To me, flat screen monitors are like Flat Screen TVs: A MUST HAVE.
Compare the Sony Vega TVs, which are perfectly Flat, to a traditional tube TV. I noticed a big difference, which is why I baught one.
As for monitors, same thing for me. A flat screen monitor looks better, there is better screen edge to edge....

Yes it is. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 955DF. 19" flatscreen.
Wouldn't give this monitor up for anything. Well, maybe for a 21"

OMG they are better, I have a 17" flat Trini now, fantastic (except for the fact taht its 17").
Used monitors in school many times rounded from 17"-21" and this makes big difference. You see less distortion on teh edges of screen as well.

I have a flat screen syncmaster as well. I do like it, but I think how important flat screen is is personal preference... I suggest you go to a computer store and look at the monitor displays. Maybe the difference isn't worth the price to you.

I have a Sony Trinitron Multiscan G200 its a flat screen. I have had it about 2.5 years. It was pricy at the time but well worth every penny. In other words "it KICKS ***"

This may sound strange but I dislike flat screen monitors, I like a slight curve in them.

thanks guys for the opinions. Probably go with the flat screen, but I'll check em out at the store first.

All I know is that on my flatscreen Sampo Alphascan (it's only a 15" but I got it 3 years ago for $40) I can run 1024 resolution comfortably, and 1280 in a pinch. The kids are using 15" Packard Bell Monitors and they're lucky to get 800x600 resolution on those.
Much nicer.

If you get a trinitron, make sure the stabilizing wires don't bug you. I hardly notice them but again its a personal thing...

The picture is awesome!
Also have a 17" regular screen.. it is a bore!
Woooo, big table, my table is one fourth of your table in size. Mine can only fit a LCD screen.
Yeah, flat is definitely better (<----Totally lying since I never used one nor seen one). But since now days everyone is so crazy about LCDs now(that's me!), there wouldn't be a big price difference with flat trini and regular CRT now. But from the resulution stats, flats deliever better quality.
