intersting topic....I'm somewhat looking at LCD's myself wondering what type of LCD to purchase..there's the "normal"size screen(comparable to CRT screen sizes) ,and now the newer "widescreen" ...just wonder how "any " LCD would be in comparison to a crt in viewing photos.....I have a 20" dell (sony trinitron)CRT currently but the corners are starting to yellow and "burn out" in spots...notice it on white backgrounds....would be nice to upgrade to an LCD but tough to beat the crt for image quality and color....plus on the lcd widescreens ,a question on proper "proportions" and would the image on the lcd screen be "stretched" to fill in the widescreen.....widescreens may be good for playing games(which I don't do) but would they be any good for photos and image viewing...not sure..... grin.gifjonny

I have a square 17 inch LCD. It is several years old but I like it so much more than a CRT. We just got a new one with the new PC for the house and it is even better than the one that I have here in the dungeon (basement office). Like everything else, the LCD's of today are less expensive and better than the ones from just a coule years ago. I vote LCD. Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

MM, which type you have doesn't really affect the image itself. The LCD on our laptop shows sharper images than our CRT monitors. I'd say check out which you prefer and buy that type based on how you like the look of your photos, realizing that, when you sharpen for Web display, those with LCD monitors may think the images are a bit too sharp, while those with CRTs may not think they're sharp enough.

Personally, I like the look of my images better on the LCD because of the sharpness and what seems to my eye like a better rendition of detail and color subtlety.

But my desktop in my home studio has a CRT, which is calibrated for my printer, and CRT monitors are easier to use calibration software on than LCDs, according to my reading.

My new LG Flatron widescreen 19" with a 2000:1 contrast has

the best screen view I have ever had from any moniter. I am even

able to make HD videos from my Dell XPS700 running it at

1440x900 screen res. 720i looks fantastic on it.

Photos even look better. Your shots are so crisp on it, its

like they are real.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
