19" wide monitors

Pengwin · Jul 21, 2006, 10:12 PM

Well i was looking thru monitors and 19" ones are too tall 17" was a bit too small, 19"wide seems just tall enough.

I've seen that acer and this one in action side by side. I'd recommend upgrading to the 20" if you can afford it. If not, I'd recommend the acer out of the 3 you posted - they're great monitors, and at a great price to boot.

Pengwin · Jul 22, 2006, 04:40 PM

wow thats a pretty cheap 20" monitor may be a bit out of my price range though. i didnt wanan spend too much over 200 dollars. maybe the price will drop some more.

i would suggest this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824116373
or this
the acer model.

I think he was just saying he'd recommend the acer you already know about....or the new one he did link to.

Out of those under 200.00 (19" widescreen) at Newegg I liked the Sceptre NagaV for $180.00 after a 40.00 mail in rebate. Sceptre NagaV at Newegg it has both DVI and VGA inputs too...

Be aware, if you go to a larger screen, the native resolution increases, which means your video card may bog down playing games at native resolution (which looks best...).

imo.. 200 bucks for a lcd is skimping just a wee bit for anything quite good.

I've been looking at that

And this too. They're basically the same thing, just the one at Newegg has a 135 degree vertical viewing angle instead of the 130 at Tiger.. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...Tab=0&NoMapp=0

Im on a budget :\

LHC · Jul 28, 2006, 02:47 PM

Me too, and in my opinion this is the best deal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824254005

$200 for 5ms, 700:1 contrast ratio, DVI connection, 150/135 viewing angle.. it's a pretty sweet deal for a budget

I want to get it, but I just wanna see if the "monitor techies" think it's good deal too

Pengwin · Jul 28, 2006, 03:17 PM

Going by the reviews, everybody has had 0 problems with it, so

Judas · Jul 28, 2006, 06:03 PM

i'm not concerned about the dollar value effecting the chance of there being problems.. it's the fact that the monitor is the one of the most overlooked and skimped on and usually the longest lasting piece in a computer setup, not to mention it's what you stare at for hours on end.

That's why i'm so confused about how someone can spend 1 hell even 2 grand on a computer tower that they'll never take full advantage on and complain about spending 1 if not 200 bucks on a monitors. I'm just saying.

I'd highly recommend saveing your pennies and scratching to save for a very good monitor rather then buying something that by specs and everything. looks great, but will never compare to the slightly more expensive excellent monitors.

swimtech · Jul 30, 2006, 03:32 AM

...and about some of those inexpensive monitors, I truly haven't seen tons of different LCDs (just no opportunity...), but when the specs tell me outright that they display only 16.2 million "colors" versus 16.7 million colors it makes me wonder - what are they doing with half a million shades? The missing shades are being "faked" somehow - or not...

Pengwin · Jul 30, 2006, 04:49 AM

the thing is i have a video card, mobo, case, PSU. I need RAM and a CPU and prolly a monitor.

Sometimes it really is about the money. The XBlacks are just way out of his price range... A decent 19" widescreen monitor for about 200.00 (US) with 1440x900 resolution ought to do.

What video card do you have already?
