67270	2002-08-01 08:36:00	Wouldn't it be nice if IDG/PressF1 were to "Shout" Susan B one of the Phillips Monitors advertised on this Forum. Or perhaps Phillips themselves if they are watching? Wishful Thinking Poppa John :) :)	Poppa John (284)

I do a lot of graphics and 1 monitor is not enough. Would anyone like to donate me a graphics card and another monitor?	superOman (745)
67272	2002-08-01 08:43:00	My choice = 17in BUT get the best image you can :- Dot pitch - lowest possible but check you are comparing horizontal with horizontal and diagonal with diagonal etc etc Refresh rate - should be at least 85Hz to be flicker free Brightness - look for one that YOU would set the brightness control at a low setting allowing for maximum later cranking up Be happy with the weight AND the depth of the physical item - check to see if the cables exit and can bend away BEFORE the back of the casing so as to further minimise the actual depth Warranty - no. years, on-site or RTB, who performs the warranty service etc etc Let me know what you find 'cause I'm also on the market .... The Samsung 753DFX DynaFlatX looks like good specs at $458 from NFC in Newmarket but I've yet to actually SEE one going (Noel Leemings don't have one running even though they have them on promotion at the moment !!!!?)

67273	2002-08-01 10:00:00	Have a read of KingJackal's Monitor Guide (www.radiativenz.com). He is really into his monitors and has sampled a large amount. He's got a 19" ViewSonic (not a flatscreen) and says he would happily swap it for a really good 17". Just don't go overboard though. Because a lot of monitors are not worth the extra money compared to cheaper ones.	-=JM=- (16)
67274	2002-08-01 10:33:00	oioioioi i have a 19" veiwsonic (nonflat) and i beats my old flatscreen 17"(ibm) anyday . as men always say SIZE MATTERS ! ! its just so much nicer having a larger screen, not haveing to scroll so much and so much easier on the eyes .	tweak'e (174)
67275	2002-08-01 10:44:00	Thank you for all the feedback, I think I've got enough support to back me on getting the 17" . Won't have to start chopping the shelves up for it to fit . Mike: Thanks for the offer of the 15" but I've already got two of those . But sorry, I'm not blonde (damn, now godfather will know!) . The Phillips 107T that I looked at the other day was quite good and other people here have been pleased with theirs . Regarding refresh rates, which is better: 71 kHz offering a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 with flicker free display of 1024x768 at up to 89 Hz or a maximum resolution of 1280 x 1024 at 66Hz flicker-free refresh rate, 1280 x 1024 @ 66Hz, 1024 x 768 @ 87Hz? JM: Thanks for the link, you gave it to me a few weeks ago and I found it useful then . Very interested to hear about KJ's preference for the 17", it doesn't say that anywhere on those pages . tweak'e: No need to boast about how big yours is here, you'll make them all feel inferior . ;-) I know bigger is better but it still has to fit and I'm quite partial to my shelves . Anything will be better than what I've got now .	Susan B (19)

But then again, you need a higher res at 17", so who really knows. I run my 15" at 1024x768 and at 80hz... anything under 70hz really hurts (ROFL) :D Mike.	Mike (15)
