Question of the Day: How Big is Your Monitor?

We already asked about the size of your TV, so it is only fitting that we do a follow-up focusing on computer monitors. The choices after the break offer a basic range that should accommodate owners of most laptops, LCDs and CRTs. Just pick the number that is closest to the measurement of your viewable area (rounding up if necessary). That having been said, if you own a CRT, keep in mind that the two types of monitors are measured differently. Make sure your figure does not include the screen frame. UPDATE: TV monitor option added. More »

Even in Death, This Guy is a Massive Nerd

I'm not sure who this guy was, but one thing is for sure —he was a massive nerd. Got to love that kind of commitment though. Plus, if he ever came back as a zombie you could probably stay alive by sitting him in front of a new computer with a sweet LCD monitor. [News From Gadgets World]

LG Cranks Out World's Thinnest CRT

Up close, you might mistake LG's 21FU1R for a flat-panel TV. Afterall, it has the same stylish design as most of the TVs in their line up. But take a look behind and you'll see this boob tube has some junk in its trunk, though with a deflection angle of 120 degrees, LG is claiming it's the slimmest CRT available. Still, a 21-inch screen is pretty small, so I'm not entirely sold just yet, no matter how much cheaper it is than a flat-panel TV. – Louis Ramirez More »

Vintage Brionvega TV Looks Nifty, Still Costs Too Much

The original Doney portable Brionvega TV made its debut back in the 1960s and really made a pretty big splash in the design world. Brionvega has re-released this TV with some more modern technologies but still housed in the same, familiar vintage shell. It is still available in the three classic colors: sun orange, snow white and night black. More »

CRT Trash Can: Old is New Again

Do you have an old monitor lying around? Fellow Gawker mates at Lifehacker point us to a site which shows us how to turn that old tube into a trash can with a few straightforward instructions, but the project is certainly not for the faint of heart. Remember, you're dealing with a vacuum tube that might be prone to a messy implosion. Plus, there's that weird concept of electricity that continues to hang around long after the monitor's been unplugged. More »

Sony Resuscitates CRTs with 34-Inch XBR970 HD Model

Reports of the death of the lowly CRT have been greatly exaggerated, and Sony asserted that point with the introduction of a line of FD Trinitron WEGA direct-view televisions—one of them HD, the rest not. Sony must believe there are still people who want to buy standard-definition TVs, so it answers that perceived need with the 36-inch KD-36FS170, 32-inch KV-32FS170 and 27-inch KV27FS170. They all use that old-skool 4:3 aspect ratio and are sticking with that 480i resolution no matter what you say. More »
