The Gateway 17" CRT monitor on my 1994 P5-90 desktop running Win95a

Should there be any problem replacing it with an Acer 19" wide panel LCD
monitor with a standard VGA connector?

Thanks!

Both "the Postman Delivers and Ben Myers are very knowledgeable
individuals and I've learned much from their posts. Another option
would be to search your local Craigslist to see if you could get a
19'' or 17" CRT monitor cheap or free and ask people you know if they
have one collecting dust somewhere. I've picked numerous 17' CRT
monitors which I've donated to a nonprofit group and have a couple of
gathering dust that I haven't donated yet. You may want to consider
updating your video card, both www.geeks.com and www.pacificgeek.com
handle pci video cards.

Even your 1994 Gateway has served you well you want to retire it
soon. I've seen PCs that have a Pentium 3 866mHz processor and
monitor on Craigslist for $70. My youngest son is still using our 1998
Gateway G-400, it has been upgraded many times and I'm just to cheap
to replace it. It still works fine for what he is using it for.

On the Craig's List note, I'm selling off some older hardware there and
happen to have several Old CRTs. If your In the St. Louis / St. Charles,
Missouri area contact me and perhaps we can work something out.
