| 639027 | 2008-02-10 04:28:00 | I am in the market for a new LCD monitor for my PC. I am looking at approx 20inches. I DO NOT want a widescreen monitor; I want 4:3 format. I would quite like one that rotates to portrait mode. What would people recommend? I am trying to spend less than $450. | p5t5r85nry (10658) | ||

I was planning to buy a well know brand such as Philips, Samsung, Acer, Sony? I should have mentioned that I do not want it for watching DVD's or gaming. Mainly for Text, email/internet Word, Excel etc |

| 639030 | 2008-02-10 05:18:00 | Chimei is a pretty common brand these days. They're cheap, but from experience they are quite decent. Have had my Chimei 17" for nearly two years now. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 639031 | 2008-02-10 07:10:00 | I would stay away from ChiMei/PolyView/CMV. Tha last place I worked at sold heaps of them and probably over 50% of them came back with faults. Samsung, ViewSonic, Philips would be the brands I would choose. |

| 639032 | 2008-02-10 08:51:00 | I've got a 19" Polyview (V396). Had it a couple of years. The original had a stuck pixel and was replaced. I like the styling, I like the colour. The only thing I don't like (but have become used to) is the "burn in - ghosting, whatever you want to call it" across the taskbar and icons, and because of that I wouldn't recommend them. And yes, I've tried every cure mentioned on the internet. At worst the "cures" don't make any difference, and at best they help the burn in for a day or two, and then it's back. I live with it now. If it wasn't for that I'd be singing their praises loud and clear. |

That is the same problem that most the our faulty ones had. They will replace it under warranty (3 year warranty on them) |

| 639034 | 2008-02-10 19:41:00 | Any reputable brand will do. I have 2 Viewsonics and no complaints. As an aside. One of my monitors is a 24" wide screen and I love it. Trouble always arises when you are buying down to a price so be careful about buying cheap no name anything. |
