LCD Question


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I've never had a LCD screen but always wanted one. Well my KDS Avitron monitor started to make high pitch noises so I looked up information on my warranty. Came to find out it was barely still under warranty and all i have to pay is for shipping of my own monitor back to KDS. I recieved an email today saying they currently do not have a replacement monitor of my same CRT monitor so instead of offering a replacement for my AV-195TF 19" CRT for the Rad-7 17" LCD. Looking on there website i can only find a Rad-7c not a Rad-7, but i'm figuring they are about the same just a newer model. So my question is, is this a good trade? I am trading up 19" for a 17" but also its a LCD!!! Let me know what you think. Thanx

hell yeah? you kiddin me? If it's a good one and doesn't have dead pixels all over then i'd take it. 19" CRTs are usually about 17.9"s viewable or a really good one would be 18.1"s so you're only missing 1" of screen space.

oh and i'm lazy so post a link

Thats the Rad-7c

Also, I emailed them back seeing what else they COULD offer me. I love the LCD, speakers on the side kinda suck, but you know... 19" is nice also........ i dunno. I see your point that LCDS are nice and they are expensive so i'm probably getting a GOOD trade here. Maybe they'll offer me a 19" LCD :D

Well thats the thing though, the replacement 19" would HAVE to be my exact same monitor but they are out and they have no ETA for replacements in warehouse thats why they are offering me a LCD. In fact my monitor i have is no longer made, its discontinued.

Ok this is what it is... it isn't the Rad-7c, its the Rad-7. She said it has same specifications as the Rad-7c but doesnt have speakers and all that crap. She personally came out and told me that the Rad-7c isn't their highest quality in the line. But she did say the this one is great lookin... so take the Rad7c and take off speakers, you got this one. I think i'm going to take the deal.

I priced it, on pricewatch it sells for 453... and i only bought this CRT monitor for 200 bucks. So ya.... Good deal!!!

    • Apple still has two unannounced features for iOS 26 by Hamid Ganji Apple held its WWDC25 event this month to unveil a slew of AI features and its new design for operating systems, known as Liquid Glass. While iOS 26 currently has no shortage of features, the iPhone maker might still have some features under wraps that didn’t make a debut at this month’s WWDC. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman writes in his weekly Power On newsletter that Apple didn’t announce two iOS 26 features at the WWDC event. The first feature is a live translation of conversations via AirPods, and the latter is the ability to sync your wireless network login information across devices at a hotel or gym. Even though these features were already tipped to arrive in iOS 26, Apple held them from the event, presumably because they’re still not ready to ship. Apple appears to have learned from its experience with Apple Intelligence and aims to break the habit of unveiling new features before they are ready for release. The Live Translation on iOS 26 is currently integrated with popular apps like Messages, FaceTime, and Phone to help users break language barriers and communicate in different languages. The feature is now under development for AirPods, allowing users to hear real-time speech translations. Moreover, the WiFi syncing feature allows you to sync your sign-in information across your entire Apple ecosystem, enabling you to connect to a public WiFi network with ease. This would eliminate the need to sign into a WiFi network separately on each device. While these features haven’t arrived in iOS 26 yet, they’re more likely to be released later this year, in October or December.
    • Intel Level L4 cache has been around for a long time, so AMD Zen 3D Cache is a copy of Intel L4 cache that was introduced with Broadwell i7-5775c, which had 128mb of Level L4 cache. Secondly, Zen 6 is not faster in single-threaded performance than 13900k/14900k. 285k is something new Intel is trying, basically showing us that chiplet design does not work for gaming, just like AMD design does not work for gaming. Throwing more cores at it and having L4 cache won't fix the issue, and that is frame dip and stuttering caused by a very stupid design decision to keep the memory controller outside the compute tile. Might as well put a memory controller by bringing back a south bridge chip. lol
    • Just like AMD Zen, it is not going to work for gaming despite 3D Cache. Frame dip and stuttering are giving, which renders 14900KS the greatest gaming CPU ever released.
