We were mulling between cheap CRT monitors and LCDs but it turns out a lot of shops have them in stock anymore. We wanted larger screens (17" or 19") so getting all flat screen LCDs would be a bit costly compared to the cheaper CRTs. My initial cost consideration at first was power consumption -- LCDs spend just about 10% of what the counterpart CRT would consume. Today, the large screen sizes are already monopolized by LCDs. At home, I already shifted all monitors to LCD over 2 years ago. Now all 4 monitors are LCDs -- they saves space and electricity. ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has unveiled two new monitors: the ROG Strix OLED XG34WCDMS and the ROG Strix XG129C. Pricing and availability details for both monitors have yet to be announced.
