| 374333 | 2005-07-22 20:56:00 | I've used everything from 12" to 19" and the nineteen is the only one I've felt comfortable with. But it's not so much the size as the quality. I consider a video card is more important than monitor size. |

| 374334 | 2005-07-25 04:22:00 | Oh well i went to that dreadful place today to have a look at 19 inch monitors...... start price from $845. for the low quality ones the man said. I asked the man about what refresh rate hertz it runs at......and he said 8??? lovely crisp clear and to die for looking monitors...... they do have wide screen monitors too? 19 wide especially for DVD playing. i didnt look at the price on that one...... i nearly laughed when i saw the price of a nice 19 inch monitor price on the top shelf.....$3000, something..... cant remember what make and models they were but very nice. so i can see the wish list just got longer.......:D beetle |

| 374335 | 2005-07-25 05:18:00 | qmb.co.nz Gets me thinking that unless its a high-quality brand, you'd be paying too much at $845 IIRC a recent PCW had reviews on 19" LCDs |

I have built up an aversion to it, start feeling sick the minute I step foot in the places, Even before I see the slack faced eyes a-glow locals signing up piles of junk for 3 years (no interest for 6 months,no deposit) |

| 374339 | 2005-07-25 06:05:00 | Because I told her to check out a 19" LCD in person, I don't hold them as stock. Though I will be happy to sell her a low end unit for $844...........:waughh: |

| 374340 | 2005-07-25 06:26:00 | It is always better to see a working model of the LCD monitor you are thinking of purchasing. Even better if you can compare it side by side with other models. I recently purchased another 17" LCD (a cheap CMV CT-712A), and made sure I saw it working before I paid for it. Didn't want to gamble on having dead/fixed/bright pixels etc. Another trick to try is to set the demo machine to hide all desktop icons and the taskbar, and then view the screen with black, red, blue, white, green and yellow set as the background wallpaper colour. You get to see how even the colours are and faulty pixels should be more obvious. | Jen (38) | ||
| 374341 | 2005-07-25 06:31:00 | Surely you paid the tiny extra for the 3 year zero-pixel cover? | Metla (12) | ||
| 374342 | 2005-07-25 06:38:00 | Wasn't offered that. I got told they come with a warrenty that allows a certain amount of fixed/bright pixels (think 4) before it becomes a warrenty issue. I decided that I'd rather check out the monitor myself than to risk finding 4 dead pixels. They weren't too happy with my insistance on seeing it working, but I told them I wasn't going to purchase a monitor sight unseen with the risk of having up to 4 dud pixels in an obvious position. The monitor turned out to be perfect, no dud pixels. Not bad for just over $300. |
