I currently use a 19" non-widescreen LG Flatron L1960TR.
VGA games:
Colour - excellent. General image appearance - satisfactory.
SVGA games:
Colour & general image appearance - excellent.
General Windows XP usage:
Text - satisfactory.
Graphics - good.
Problems:
The monitor is far too bright (even with brightness set to 0!), it's much too harsh and bad for your eyes.
Also, the front panel electronics make a constant humming sound.
Overall:
Not recommended, despite the good "real DOS" results.
I am thinking of replacing it with an HP2065 (which is a 20" non-widescreen 1600x1200 4:3 TFT). I want a new TFT primarily for use with old 486/Pentium machines. I am rather nervous about getting a widescreen TFT (with clever scaling options), because my number one concern is broad old PC hardware compatibility.
One thing that bothers me about getting the HP2065 though is "panel lottery". When you buy one, it could either have a good panel in it from one manufacturer, or one that's not quite so good from another manufacturer. It's a bit like a "lucky dip".
Widescreen models that I am thinking about (in the back of my mind) are from BenQ and Dell (Ultrasharp). Both 24" models.
Best regards, Robert.
