Advantages: Incredible range of resolutions to choose, perfect for anything - especially games Disadvantages: Big (expected from a CRT) and very, very heavy
This is the perfect monitor. It has a big flat wide screen great for movies, games and all other sorts of office works, including graphics design and surfing the web. The only disadvantage this monitor has is that it is big and very heavy (but once you have your monitor on your desk how often do you need to move it?). The biggest advantage would have to be it's ability to display all sorts of different resolutions.

This is the perfect monitor. It has a big flat wide screen great for movies, games and all other sorts of office works, including graphics design and surfing the web. The only disadvantage this monitor has is that it is big and very heavy (but once you have your monitor on your desk how often do you need to move it?). The biggest advantage would have to be it's ability to display all sorts of different resolutions. As it is a CRT is has no native resolution, so it will display all resolutions properly. An LCD monitor however does have a native resolution which means it has only one resolution which it will display properly, all the other ones it only simulates which leads to terrible picture clarity. You may be thinking; why on earth would anyone want to lower their resolution? and the answer is to play newer games. Games are requiring more and more graphics power to play these days and it becomes even more difficult when you want to play it on your native resolution on your new mointor. With this monitor you don't need these worries, I'll give you an example: When I played Crysis on my computer I played it on high @ 1680 x 1050 but is was just a bit too slow, so I brought it back a bit to 1440 x 900, at the same time I could play bioshock @ 2304 x 1440, that is the kind of range this mointor has, and because of this it will also give a longer life to your graphics card. Perfect widescreen picture, great screen size with super high resolutions at very high refresh rates, watch movies in HD, play games in any resolution = The Perfect Monitor (besides the size and weight).
