LCD Monitor?

[SpinnerBait_Nut]

Ok, need advise as to which one to get.<br />What is the screen size of a 17", 19" etc?<br />I am going to replace the one CRT monitor on my main computer and was wanting to get some ideas as to which ones are the best.<br />Thanks.

I have a 17" no-name that I got at Office depot for $249, SBN.<br /><br />Works good for me, but what do I know? I replaced a 13" faded out CRT.<br /><br />(266)

Re: LCD Monitor?

Good news is the prices keep falling!<br /><br />How much do you want to spend?<br /><br />You could get by with a 17" for a good price "200/250" or get a 19" "240/375"<br /><br />I just got a sweet 19" from New Egg.<br /><br /> New-Egg

Re: LCD Monitor?

I really like the Samsung lcd monitors. Pretty much all the computer lcd's are going to e gret and last a long time.<br /><br />In the other room we've got a 19" hp monitor that looks great.,.,but if I were to go to the store to get a new one it would be hard not to take the Samsung 910B. The Sony's are great, but i'm not a huge fan of their design, whereas the Samsung looks much nicer to me at least.<br /><br />I also have seen a few of the offbrand ones that NewEgg or Tigredirect has, and they aren;t bad either.

Re: LCD Monitor?

Hi, to answer your question I recommend the 19" unit. It's a significant size increase over the 17" and you won't be sorry. I bought a X2GEN, 19" LCD from TigerDirect for about $200 after the rebate and it works beautifully, blows the old 17" CRT outa the water not to mention I got my desk top space back for my beer. Me thinks that in few years CRT units will be obselete.

Re: LCD Monitor?

Wifey got me a 17" LCD for Christmas. Turns out it had 1 bad pixel right in the middle. When we went to exchange it they were sold out of the 17" I really wanted a 19" anyway, so we upgraded. Not sorry I did. The 19" is much easier on the eyes.<br /><br />Ours is the MAG brand from Best Buy. Just a generic, but looks good and has a great picture IMO.

I use a Samsung SyncMaster912N 19" and I love it. It has spoiled me.

I got an LG Flatron L1920P 19", so far it's awesome.

Re: LCD Monitor?

I've got a "MAG" no-name from what I can tell 15" lcd I got at best buy out of box deal for $150 last year. Still working great.

Re: LCD Monitor?

Just from what I've seen at Best Buy, The new LG's are super. But, also super expensive. I can't believe the difference in cost for 2 more inches.<br /><br />I also have a couple of clients with the DELL 19". It also is super. <br /><br />I find THIS PLACE very helpful in locating the product per $.

Re: LCD Monitor?

LCD's have beautiful images but me wonders about their durability. I just threw away a 1.5 y/o 17" LCD Kogi Monitor that a friend gave me. You turn it on, it would stay on for a minute then turn off. I called the MFG and they said it would be $250 to repair.<br /><br />Right now for the money I'm going to stand firm with my 19" envision CRT.

Re: LCD Monitor?

Yea Boomer, I was wondering about that also.<br />I just like to get away form this bulky CRT, but don't want to throw my money at something that will just last a couple years or so.<br /><br /><br />(9751)

Re: LCD Monitor?

I think we are safe SBN, LCDs have come a long way in just the last year. Im willing to stick my neck out now anyway.
