[Nelug] 19" TFT at Aldi

[Richard Patterson]

Well, I went from an OLD 19" CRT to a 17" TFT, and to be honest, the
visible area on a 17" TFT is almost the same as that on the OLD 19".

I too see no advantage in going for a 19" TFT if the resolution will be
the same as that of a 17"...

I run my 17" TFT at 1280x1024, and have never had a problem.

Regards

Richard
