How Old Is Your Monitor

[C Stat B]

I have an old Apple monitor that my dad was given. I believe its pretty old but a whole 17 inches!! Its called 'Apple Multiple Scan 1705 display'. It does 1024x768 @ 85Hz which isnt bad ( no headaches ). Sometimes the screen goes green or red for a few seconds so I'm gonna buy a refurbished dell 17 inch from Aria for £20.

[Korpse]

My main monitor is about 2 years old, my second monitor (one i use for msn etc) is about 6 years old :p:,i Voted for 1-2yrs for my main monitor.

[mukmaster]

That is totaly fine if you use a dual monitor configuration vote for the newest one.

[Holst]

Bought my Iiyama pro410 in 99 still works as good as it did back then.

Runs 1600x1200 @ 75hz

[IYP]

i run a 3 yr old planar screen...its pretty good

[mukmaster]

my moniter is giong on it's 8 year still can handle 1024 x 768 x 32 at 85 hertz

[masterofpuppets]

My monitor is about 2 or 3 years old and can do 1600x1200 @ 85hz fine. At lower resolutions it can do 200hz.

I'm on a 17" gateway monitor I got with my old computer 5 years ago, but I have a new 22" nec that should be arriving later this month. :D

This old gateway is a good one though, I'm running it at 1024x768@100hz.

3 years old, roughly speaking.
LG 17" StudioWorks CRT, it sucks, and it degenerates my eyes.

darn im in @ 2nd oldest..

with a 96 IBM aptiva moniter with the stands built in for where the "daughter board/CD-ROM drive" fit underneath the monitor. it sits up nice and high.. and since im 6'3" its perfect. its from 1996 and still does 1280x1024... but i run it 1024x768 @ 75hz.

w00t for old monitors that still work.

EDIT: whats cooler is that i was 8yrs old when the monitor was made. :p:

[eBoy0]

I have a CRT from dell since 1995!! Still use it lol, and i have a 3 year old LCD from Sony.

[DeltZ]

meh..my 15 inch CRT is pretty old...it died when a ceiling collapsed on it..

stayed dormant in damp shed for best part of 1-2 years
took it out when my brother came back to UK from hong kong on holiday..
opened it...cleaned it
WORKS
went green a couple of months ago...bashed it a bit on the top..=FIXED working fine ever since

looking to upgrade to 17 inch TFT LCD though :P

[Brock Landers]

It depends on which monitor your'e asking about. I'm using a three month old 21" Sammy, next to it is a 2 or three year old CTX, and behind me is my former pride and joy. A 19" Hitachi SuperScan Elite 751. It needs a cap job, but still is a great monitor after almost eight years.

Thinking about the past, every monitor since I went to VLB cards supported 1024. And that's almost twelve or thirteen years now.

[Unoid]

Sony G520 21" trinitron monitor. This thing rocks and is still kicking 4.5 years later. I plan on sticking with this until it dies then joining the lcd bandwagon

[Master X]

20.1 Inch View Sonic :) about 4 months old

[KoolDrew]

Around 4 years, I think.

[jjcom]

ViewSonic A91f+, I think it's about 8 to 10months old, I don't quite remember. I run at 1024x768 75hz. I can't stand anything but 75hz, not sure why, even on other monitors, I can't stand the refresh rate being above 75hz :shrug:

[Trixxy]

Sony G420 (19" CRT) here, about 4 years old.

does 1280x960@100Hz, which is fine for my games.

[mukmaster]

my new dell 19" lcd had 17 dead pixles sent it in due to breach of warenty

[FrozenPC4Brain]

My Main monitor, on my surfin rig- Hitachi 15" LCD about 4 years old.
BUT
I have a monitor for a "C 64", I use with a vcr for TV in shop, 20+ years OLD!!!
They will never build em like that ever again, nope won't happen!

[EvlUndrWareNome]

Mine is 2 years old. The samsung 757MB 17" flat CRT is awesome. Everything is nice and bright, very crisp coloring as well.

Not to mention it does 1600x1200 at 75hz =)

For the money I spent on this, there isnt any reason to me to upgrade it anytime soon.
