i am going to get a dual 2.0ghz PowerMac in early July and had pretty much settled on a e90f+sb ViewSonic 19" monitor to go with it...
partially due to the fact that i have always liked the clarity on my Apple 17" flat CRT Studio Display and partially due to the cost factor....
after playing around with a dual 2.0ghz PowerMac w/ an Apple 20" Cinema Display today at my local Apple Store i am having second thoughts...
the 20" Cinema Display's are very, very nice looking and the clarity is pretty close to my Apple CRT...
my concern is which type of display would have a longer life span....
i tend to use my Mac at home from 2-4 hours daily and sometimes longer on weekends...
i would have 3 years warranty on both, but i wondered which type of monitor would outlast the other or are they similar in longevity...
i could probably scrape up the difference for the LCD if it would be as long lived as CRT's tend to be....
any thoughts on this would be appreciated....
