Just curious...any perceivable differences in graphics between 19 and 25 pin LCD monitors?  One better than the other?

The difference between 19 Pin and 25 Pin CRT's is that 19 are Analog and 25 are Digital. All LCD's are Digital so you will; not see a difference in similar LCD's, the difference in LCD is resolution or amount of lines in the panel, TN monitors are the cheapest and have the worst viewing angle (ok when looking straight ahead but bad if looking up or down the look dim). PVA is good quality and viewing angle, SPVA Panels are super good but more expensive. Slot LCD manufacturers do not make the LCD screen, they make the housing and controls, Kristel used Sharp panels, Ceronix and Wells are the same way, the screen is made by a large manufacturer and they bulid the AV board and power supply and housing then add the TS

If you buy a Wells from American Gaming, the same LCD is shipped with either 19 or 25 pin harness

Google TN vs PVA or see some video's of different panels hooked to same computer. You can really see the difference

Not to say a TN LCD is bad, but say you have a Dual Screen machine, the eye level monitor would be fine with a TN monitor, however the top monitor would look dark when you looked up at it when sitting down at a game, but stand up and be bright. The PVA would be a better choice for the top in that instance, usually $200 or so more money. The better the quality the more lines in a panel
