All joking to one side Stuart, don't do it!
You have precisely one set of eyes, and that sort of resolution on a
15"
screen is *seriously* bad news for your them..
Have you looked at one of the short tube 19" monitors? or even the
possibility of going dual head?
I use 1024x768 on an LCD panel as my main "reading" screen, and
1600x1200 on
a 22" CAD monitor (which I picked up at a knock down price!) as my
main
screen for games/ running apps/video etc.
because of the "fuzzier" text on the CRT, I use a larger point
size for
everything I run on the CRT normally...
It's like brakes on a car: if it's a choice between some go faster stuff
like CPU, memory etc, or the device you are going to trust your sight to...
it's not the place to scrimp on :
Ian.
