HELP!! My 12 year old 17" flat screen KDS CRT monitor is going belly up. If I smack it just right, it stabilizes and works for a while longer, but the working intervals are getting shorter and shorter. The screen size is right for me, no need to cover a wall. I haven't much of a clue about the newer displays. What do I want, LCD, LED, or something else? All it has to do is display in all indoor lighting conditions. Resolution to see font size 6 without zooming is highly desirable.
Amazon.com: Viewsonic VX2450WM-LED 24-Inch (23.6-Inch Vis) Widescreen LED Monitor with Full HD 1080p and Speakers - Black: Computers & Accessories 24" $169 shipped with 4.5 stars in 190 reviews. I may pick up 2 of them at one point.
What you want for LONG Term use, is an LCD that is Backlit with LEDs. No Florescent Tubes to die in 5 years, and very Power conservative. Many run on 12Vdc using an external Power Supply, that Plugs into Grid Power. My opinion.... YMMV....
oops. Just re-read your 'don't need to cover a wall' comment even though that 24" is the wide measurement so it's not 24" square. I have this Acer in 23": 19" widescreen: Amazon.com: Acer ET.CV3WP.E05 19-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor (Black): Computers & Accessories Fla panel LED monitors are all quite good these days.
