new monitor

mike2h · Jul 27, 2009, 11:56 PM

wii be getting a new mon in the next 20-30 days. need some help deciding

im going to get a 22"- either dell, samsung or viewsonic.
the only games im playing right now r- gw, civ bts, & sins of s.a. the only games i plan on getting in the future(at this time) r diablo3 & gw2. & hopefully some sort of startegy. so as u can see i dont play fps anymore so that is not a consideration.
my main priority is iq- across the board.
my budget is $300 max, not including shipping & tax.
any input greatly appreciated

while it is larger than what i wanted & doesnt have some of the features/iq i was going for, cant pass this up due to price-

under $240 to my door. including the ca lcd penalty/tax thing.

Thats also a good choice so no objections from me, plus you are the one who will end up with the monitor so if you like it then go for it

will do....

i was orginally looking at acer 1152p style 26 inch monitor.. but the general feedback on that a number of months ago was CRAP..... but this samsung using a SAMSUNG lcd, seems to be getting winning votes

Alsmost all the monitors out there are very good. Just take a decent manufacturer and choose your looks.

I should go for a 1920*1200 with HDMI. Maybe you can even find one with a DVB-T tuner in it so you can use it as a TV.

(like the one from Newegg).

A guy i know had a T240HD and it's a decent monitor. The glass plate in front of the panel is also a nice feature because then you can touch the screen a little bit more :P

@ Judas

2343BX? Or do you mean the 2343BW? Because I can't find any info about the BX. BW looks decent though. I also considered it but the looks aren't that nice imo.

hmm not sure... guess i'll see if it's a mis print on my suppliers list
