Well, it looks like it's time to retire my 5 year old (CRT) P991 Trinitron.
It's been a good monitor.  Outside of web surfing and email, my primary

As far as I know, (affordable) LCDs are still not up to par ...

after they surpassed their 1 yr warranty, 2 of them decided that if you move

fine, but if  for instance they have a keyboard, mouse and ...

I have a 5 year old Dell flat screen Trinitron 19" monitor.  For quite some
time now, it's been "breathing".  Until the monitor warms up, the picture on
the screen will appear to be "breathing"...expanding and contracting like

From earlier threads I know that I may as well get the proprietary fan from
