My nec crt is much nicer than my benq 567s-v2 15 inch lcd, the lcd is native 1024x768 so i cant go higher and the contrast and brightness just seems off, the color is much more rich on the nec. i just wish my nec wasnt 40 pounds and took up so much space on my desktop. since the benq isnt the greatest for image quality i just use it in dual view to watch tv while im doin stuff on the pc.
