I think the GDM-FW900 is the holy grail of CRT pc monitors. I'm pretty sure nothing beats it's 24" widescreen, but the only problem is..

-Finding one.
-It weighs like 100lbs.
-Takes up massive deskspace.
-Screws you over with $100+ just for shipping alone!


It's sorta like a magic ring in D&D that will let you kick anyone's ass, but at the same time the ring brings terrible misfortune so you get struck by lightning every hour. =/

Doesn't the GDM-FW900 have a ratio of 16:10?

It's an analog set, so it can scale. The only thing is that, the factory setting doesn't provide for 1280x720 on it.....

1080p is the new hotness

Funny thing is, the optimum resolution for the FW900 is 1920x1200 @85Hz.

It can also do 1920x1080 @ 60Hz, 72Hz, 75Hz and 85Hz.

I remember doing the math, and not only can the FW900 display 1080p, it can FULLY RESOLVE it. Amazing.

Really I didn't know CRT's had "native resolutions"

I would think it can fully resolve it's highest resolution ratings of 2304x1440 too.
