Actually the cost of a 19 inch crt is down to around 150 dollars or less
AS to the 300 dollar price on a lcd, certainly not till next year at least.
But you never know.
It could be next month
I have seen 17 inch lcd drop from $700 to 500 in about a month and then to
350 in another two months.
Who know what Costco will be selling them for next month.

The only thing keeping the price up now is that they can not make them fast
enough.

Your post content hints that you are something of a traitor. you are quite
plainly from the retard side of the fence but argue for the "other side" tut

Anyway welcome to the killfile, a special place for posters with your
"special" kind of intelligence.

top posting does it really matter for gods sake?

Am I the only old annorak whos been using usenet for 13+ yrs in one form or
another that isnt offended by the dreaded top posting, it saves my scroll
wheel a lot of work. ;-)

Col.

I have to agree...I could care less how folks post...if it bothers them
enough to get rude and ugly, perhaps they should just killfile that person
and be done with it rather that becoming obnoxious usenet cops!

I am sorry Floyd but bottom posting is a nuicence/
With top posting you just open the message and there is the added material.
With bottom posting you have to scroll down to the bottom to see the new
material and it takes about twice as long to go through a batch of posts.

You made quite a few assumptions that were not true.
17 inch panel monitors sell at Costco for as low as 350 dollars and I have
seen the cheaper at Tigerdirect.

I would not own one, if I were paid to do so. Low res, 60Hz flicker
guaranteed.

That baby "b" shit is lame, boy.

A 19 inch monitor is closer to 200 or more watts.
They are generally rated at about 250 watts

A total contradiction to your original post.

You are a "b"tard.

from the above links:
The Advantages of Flat Panel LCD monitors are:


a.. No Flicker - less eye strain

Because of the way LCD screens monitors are made they really do not produce
flicker and there is no need to look at refresh rates.


lcd monitors don't flicker as the above links describe. you really are
something else. to think you refer to other people as retarded.

Wrong. Look at the spec, dipshit. You cannot buy a FLAT faced,
High Resolution (0.25 pitch or less) monitor for $150.00 or less.
Sorry, but your inability to pay attention to the details given has
bit you in the ass... again. You would rather concentrate on retarded
aspects of your posting, like the "b" you put in the header.

LEARN TO READ, dipshit.

No, dipshit. It is because idiots buy them at the high prices.
Supply AND demand. Wait another year or two. By then OLED will be out
big, and we will all wonder why we ever though that LCD was
acceptable.

The only thing worse than a top posting Usenet retard is one that
thinks his plonk announcements do anything other than show how
retarded you are.

I don't give a fat flying **** what you do, retard boy. The fact
remains that you are utterly clueless about Usenet, despite how long
you claim to have "been here".

Oh look another incorect statement from Dontmatter. you really need to take
a little in before spewing so much out.

"BTW, retard boy... what you were on in '92 was a BBS"

Usenet came into being in late 1979, shortly after the release of V7
Unix with UUCP.

material.

Right, with nothing to indicate what it means.


"Bottom posting" is a misnomer. It doesn't mean putting everything at
the bottom, below *all* of the previous post.

This article is an example of appropriate "bottom posting", with my
comments placed immediately below the quoted text referenced.

You'll note also that, unlike you, I've snipped everything from
the previous post that is unrelated to the continuing conversation.

And the problem with snipping is that many times things are taken out of the
context of the original poster. I prefer to read the post and then the
reply, not someone elses butchered version. It also leaves you with a
butchered reply. Personally I would prefer top posting, but plain got tired
of all the anal retentives that want everyone to post the same and use the
same newsreader. Additionally, the same anal retentives love to take a
message, pick it apart for spelling, grammar or content and turn it into an
insult barage, instead of making a useful contribution to a discussion. So
why don't you just live and let live when it comes to top, bottom posting
snipping etc.....And if you don't like it just be quiet and plonk the person
and there will be no problem.....Eventually you will only have discussions
of people of your like persuasion....What a boring world that would be
huh????..........Ross

You're a goddamned retard. What is being referred to is pixel
persistence. It isn't about "the way they were made", it is inherent
in ALL LCD displays.

It is why there is no *apparent* flicker. It is also why LCD
displays SUCK badly for gameplay or ANY scenes that have a lot of
motion in them. It's called blurr. You know, like your brain.

CRTs do not give any eye strain, as long as the idiot using it knows
how to set the refresh properly. DOH!

You're a goddamned retard, old man. I know more about CRTs and LCD
displays than you or any google search you do will ever allow your
lame ass to glean.

That's funny, you have made many a plonk announcement to me so what does
that make you???...By your own definition would that be "Retarded"?????

Yes, but idiots like you were not on it then. There were no PCs
then, you retard.

Are you going to lie, and tell us that your access was NOT via a
BBS?

Yes, and if all you retards DID learn about and post to Usenet
correctly, NONE of these conversations would be occurring.
Fact is, most idiots find something via google search and select
"reply", one of the MOST retarded ways of starting in Usenet.

Many are to blame. You are one. Slack fucktard.

Get a clue.

No dipshit. As usual, you adjust facts to make yourself look
"good". Yeah... you look like a good retard, boy.

I plonked you ONE time. It was a test. You failed. In this
post... you lied. Not much has changed about how lame you are.
