17" and 19" lcd reccomendations?

ronnn · Sep 24, 2004, 09:54 PM

I am looking to buy 2 lcds and want to hear from anyone that has bought a mid range lcd and likes it. For General use and gaming. Thanks reviews are hard to find.

I have a 19" Ilyama Prolite E481S. It has got 25ms response time, but it is very good for gaming.

interesting, is this common a 25mm response time being good for gaming? Thanks for the reply.

Not really. It can be good, but also a 16ms lcd can be worse.

yes I sort of got that from the recent article on Toms. So why I am asking for reccomendations, as I can not seem to find reviews - so many models I guess.

How about Samsung's , seem to be several models available in my area.

Sorry, but I`m not an expert, i can only say that the ilyama prolite that i have is good. a friend of me has a 19" samsung with 16ms. he is also very happy with it. But i can not say what`s the exact name of it.

For the 17", I will likely go for the benq FP 791. http://www.ncix.com/products/index.p...Q&promoid=1056Is a good price in Canada and consumers seem to be happy with it.
For the 19", I have not found anything that appeals yet. Oh well.
