HP Store Online

Which monitor is better? Acer X191WSD (19" wide LCD) or HP mx705 (17" CRT with 16" screen)?

The mx705 came with my system but is still in the box and I could probably resell it for close to what I paid--it was $80 as part of the package deal at Circuit City. The Acer has a 3-year warranty and would cost $139 at a local Staples store during a current promotion. If you want some specs: HP 17" CRT: Dot Pitch / Pixel Pitch 0.25 mm Max Resolution 1280 x 1024 / 60 Hz Max Sync Rate (V x H) 160 Hz x 70 KHz Video Bandwidth: 110 MHz Controls / Adjustments: Degauss, Contrast, H/V size, Rotation, H/V moire, Trapezoid, Brightness, Pincushion, Pin balance, H/V position, Parallelogram, Color temperature Video Output: None Signal Input: VGA 1 year warranty Acer 19" wide-screen Resolution 1440 x 900 Contrast ratio 800:1 Brightness 300 cd/m2 Reponse time 5ms Dimensions 21.1"W x 16.5"H x 7.6"D 3 year warranty I'm leaning toward keeping the Acer and re-selling the still-in-box HP. Thanks for your suggestions. So far, everyone's answering what I expected. Now on to craigslist with my HP..........

1. ACER 19''
2. THAT'S A NO BRAIN-ER.......... THE ACER ,ITS A BIGGER SCREEN WITH A BIGGER WARRANTY!
3. I would go with an LCD. The CRT is heavy and bulky and they really becoming "Old School". A CRT may be the better monitor as far as life and picture, but, I like the LCD.
