You're welcome.

199.99 for a 19 inch LCD...600:1 Contrast ratio, 8MS repsonse time--I might get one. Only downside, no DVI input.

DVI > *

Get it, or get a monitor that supports it for when you upgrade you video card later.

Do you play video games or watch movies on your computer, B?

i have an 8x agp with dvi, s-video and rgb output, so connections aren't the problem. i can pretty much get whatever...

i'm not a gamer.

i rarely watch movies on the machine... mostly net vids.. never dvds. i have a home theatre for that (sans the tv... but thats coming...)

but i DO play with graphics a lot, so color tone is important to me.

Maximum Resolution 1280x1024

weaksauce. i run that on my 17" crt...

 

[micah]

i run it on my 21" crt ><

 

[reikoshea]

*cough* youre on a CRT. CRTs are better than LCDs at EVERYTHING. hell my video card only goes to 1280*1024.

but fine, im still gonna rep my boys with sceptre and viewsonic

Sceptre

ViewSonic

BTW, the sceptre one is better. Better (meaning brighter) back light and better colors. both are MVA (or IPS...cant remember which)...really great picture on both.

After reading reviews i guess my customers got lucky, i have never had one flake out on me, but apparently it is a problem. I have 2 people with the sceptre and 1 with the viewsonic (mom). Both are good, apparently the sceptre does have reliability problems.

Dell 19" LCD with DVI for 289.99 + 29.99 shipping

Good feedback, 500:1 CR, blah blah blah. And this shipping is only slightly raping you, I want to PM those fucks charging 80-90 bucks for shipping.

after the shit i went through with my plasma, do you honestly think i will own another dell product?

NOPE!

 

[dohcvtec_accord]

We're using only Dell LCD's here at work, zero problems. The only problem we ever had was with buying a refurb'ed LCD that didn't work.

If I didn't just buy my ViewSonic, I'd be all over that monitor.

 

[Battle Pope]

Dell should stick to what they made their name with. Their monitors are nice.

 

[BigJ]

So what'd ya end up going with? I'm interested as I still haven't splurggedd on one yet.

 

[posol]

nothing... i havent decided what the hell i want yet ... like usual.
