RE: [TCLUG:858] Monitors

I also used to have a CTX monitor, and I think they are the worst monitors
out there.  I had a 15 inch, it had like a 60hz refresh rate, and was
blurry.  Also they failed after a year and a half, I had 1 and it failed,
so I sent it back (even though it was out of warrenty), they sent me
another, I used it for a year and a half again and it failed.  I decided
instead of waiting a month to get a crappy monitor replaced I would just
buy a nice one, so I bought a Sony, it was well worth it.
