764900 2009-04-14 07:01:00 Im looking at upgrading my monitor .

At the moment I have a Phillips 107S5 CRT monitor and got it fairly cheap .

So what do you guys reckon would be good for a replacement?

764901 2009-04-14 07:32:00 What monitor size are you looking at? Chimei and Samsung are the brands for a reliable monitor :) Renmoo (66)
764902 2009-04-14 07:40:00 Depends if you want another CRT or LCD .

Some LCD's are pretty cheap now, depending on how much you want to spend .

And what size you want

764903 2009-04-14 07:46:00 LCD is what I am thinking at the moment. Not sure about size, I guess the bigger the screen the more expensive it is convair (13650)
764904 2009-04-14 07:46:00 This is the best deal at the moment I think.

But the DVI is good enough (which I'm using here). The HDMI is connected to the Xbox

That LCD maybe a later model than the LCD here (which is also viewsonic and HD)

764909 2009-04-14 08:02:00 Thats what my graphics card has got. Will that stop me upgrading the monitor? convair (13650)
