- Ok, so I took my old CRT out of storage and decided to hook it up and try out "Dual Monitors" One is a LCD 24'', and the other is a 17'' CRT. LCD is DVI, and CRT is VGA. Few things, I notice my CRT now is super-blurry(Since I unplugged it and started using the LCD, I have not touched it), unless on the lowest of resolutions, but this COULD just be due to me using my 24'' for the last two months or so. I guess I can deal with the blurr, if it's just my eyesight. (Color seems to be better on my CRT, sadly) That's not my real issue here, but I wanted to throw it in just in case. |
