195762 2003-11-29 19:49:00 Yet another hardware recommendation thread, this time about monitors. I want to get a flat CRT, as I like changing my resolution, and I want a good viewing angle. I found this one which is recommended for gamers, and I want to know. Is it any good? If not, what are some really good 19" monitors?

thanks.

195764 2003-11-29 22:14:00 not to sure with AOC but my favorites is veiwsonic, sony, and philips. sony tends to be a bit exspensive and i'm not sure if they are making much 19"crts anymore. tweak'e (174)
195765 2003-11-29 23:08:00 Bought this monitor yesterday and it seems to be fine. Obviously, u can get more expensive monitors like the Philips 109P, Viewsonic P95f+, Sony CPD420 etc.... but to be honest unless u are really into details and u have serious money to blow I think the AOC would be good enough. The refresh rate is decent 85Hz at 1280 x 1024.

Btw, u can get it for a lot lower than 375 ... cheapest I think rit now is about 320 incl GST

Hope this helps : )

195766 2003-11-30 23:54:00 85hz............. DECENT?!! Jeez, I'd be happy to get something over 70hz on 800x600! Wilky (776)

That's with my current monitor, which is dying. It's a paing to use.

I concur... this forum engine is probably the most underfeatured and underpowered forum formats I have ever come across.

I can't understand why something so slow and cumbersome like JSP was selected with it's lack of features when lightweight and free alternatives like PhpBB are out there.
