| 194996 | 2003-11-26 23:00:00 | Hello everybody : ) Recently I have bought a new rig (Barton 2500+, 512 DDR 120 gb SATA on NF7-s Rv2) but I'm lacking a good monitor. I use my comp mainly for gaming and also a bit of wordprocessing, music, videos and the normal stuff... and I'm wondering whats a good monitor to get? The AoC and the Mag ones seems cheap and quite popular, how do they compare with each other in terms of image quality, refresh rate? and I take price into consideration of course :O. I'm looking at spending about $500 or below, what monitors do you guys recommend? (CRT / LCDs are both fine for me) |

| 194997 | 2003-11-26 23:17:00 | I have purchased a secondhand ViewSonic E790 and I am pretty fussy when it comes to monitors and it performs very well. It does 1280 X 1024 at 85Hz I think but I find that starting to get a bit small. Now wouldn't I like a 21" :D | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 194998 | 2003-11-26 23:18:00 | Oh, the Viewsonic is a 19" but not a true flat screen... | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 194999 | 2003-11-27 00:17:00 | Search the forums; there was a post similar to this a couple months back. I use a Philips 109P and I have no complaints at all. This months PC Powerplay (Sorry pcw) have a brief review on 19" screens that may be worth a look at the news stand. |

| 195000 | 2003-11-27 01:01:00 | hiya, I've got a AOC 19" Flat and i love it, i'm currently running it at 1280x1024 at 85hz. It's great on the eye's, because i do a lot of programming its even better. Games run very well, the only thing is that you need a good graphics card to push it at a decent res (1024x840 is about min in games on a 19"). Overall its a great monitor for what i use it for, if your really into image editing/ photo editing then i'd sugest going for a higher market one. But for games, internet and programming its great! - David |
