I appreciate that if you navigate the compromises carefully to suit your application, you won't be disappointed. What I don't like about the PVAs is what happens when you swing your head off axis.
What type of monitor do you use?

I dunno. And I was half-asleep when I made the thread, so I'd probably mess things up.
Getting this:
isn't worth paying double the price to get instead of this:
However, there are some beautiful IPS screens that I may end up getting, for reasons other than viewing angles.
edit: Viewing angle pictures are here. The two in question I was going to use are the first and last.

It looks like your images prevent hotlinking. All I see is a tiny white pixel.
I guess that makes sense, Zelig. BTW, you might have got me thinking on this one.
What was your preferred refresh rate?

I've been trying to find an anti-glare screen (we had one with the old Aptiva) for my monitor. No luck.

Well sometimes I get these nasty headaches (partially a side effect from medications, partly results from banging up my head a few years ago), so anti-glare screen would help. (For now, I usually just lower the brightness of screen.)

The refresh rate on my monitor is fixed, and I wouldn't want to damage my monitor by forcing it to another.

Yes, but what I mean is that it only shows one refresh rate that'll work properly, and I don't want to mess with it:
Try using a lower resolution and see whether you get more vertical options (refresh rates). If not, it could be worth finding out your horizontal frequency and determining the available rates and overriding it. 60Hz would cause eye strain.
That monitor has a 96kHz horizontal frequency. Without doing the maths, I'd assume it would be fine at 1024x768 and 85Hz or higher.
With CRTs there is the dot pitch to consider. They can only produce a dot down to a certain size. Try to go higher in resolution and the image becomes blurry.

I've tried that before, not much luck. I have a SPM Micro Axess, which came with my computer. The other alternative is to try the spare monitor, which is a ViewSonic, and about the same size (16 or 17 inches -- I can't find the measuring tape, and the ruler's kinda hard to use.).
LCDs don't work like that.
Any resolution asides from the native (max) resolution means it just interpolates, and makes it look blurry. (Unless you can run an exact number of pixels per, like a 2560x1600 monitor running at 1280x800)
Also, generally any LCD that has advertised or has the option of running at anything past 60 Hz doesn't really, for technical reasons. (Exceptions here for higher end LCD TVs, which run at 120 Hz, but no computer monitors actually work at 75 Hz)
There's really no reason to use an antiglare piece of fabric or mesh in the first place with any monitor.
