My Monitor Is Dark
« Reply #15 on: October 25, 2005, 05:36:00 PM »

I don't care about using it with my pc. I have a GAMMA program by adobe that lets me fix the problem, but unless the Xbox 360 has a gamma/brightness/contrast setting, it makes no difference to me.
My monitor is basically screwed now either way, what with the blue and red bleeding. Oh well, the moire hurt my eyes anyways.

CRTs are typically half the price of a similar sized/featured TFT

If you're in the Atlanta area, I have a 19" computer CRT that I'll unload.  It's in good shape (Viewsonic 910, 5 yrs old I think).  Grab a VGA kit for the 360 and you should be golden.

I would be interested, but yes I live in southern Ontario. For the meantime, I have TigerDirect and FactoryDirect near me (stores with websites).
My dad recently bought a monitor for my brother (Samsung 755df 17" crt) at Factorydirect http://www.factorydi...st.php?cat=MO15. It came out to around 100 bucks with the taxes and everything. The only gripe is the wavy lines on the monitor, mostly the sides, probably caused by magnetic interference (right?).

Anyways, I'm thinking of going to tigerdirect http://www.tigerdire....asp?CatId=166 and getting an IBM g-series monitor. There are some of them at my school in the library and they look great.
That should come to around 100-110 bucks, give or take a few.

No, the corners aren't different colors (they wore off in the past week). Instead, you see bright waves going from both sides of the screen, then bend (usually upwards) inwards.
