Good 19" LCD monitor

towly · 01-27-2007, 08:35 PM

Im looking to get a new LCD monitor in a couple of weeks and was wondering if you all could suggest some good ones, either normal screen or wide screen will do. Also budget my budget is no more than 180ish.

i just got 3 20.1" 16:10 1680x1050 sceptre monitors

I believe i paid $229 a piece for them, and they're outstanding.

One of them has a dead pixel in quadrant I, but it's only been powered on for ~20 hours so far, so it may work itself out yet.

5ms response, 1000:1 contrast, and they look beautiful.

I used to have a 17" 5:4 monitor, and i'll never go back to square.

The 20.1" is amazing for watching movies! And horizontal workspace > vertical workspace. Not to mention they can be turned 90 degrees for working on photos in portait mode

I ended up getting the monitor I linked above, so hopefully it was a good buy.
