Default Need A Monitor

Anything bigger then 19''. Wide screen would be nice.


An average priced gaming monitor.

Has to be compatible with an 8800 so I guess it has to be dvi, if not, then ill get an adapter.


Thanks

What exactly is your budget? I saw a really nice 22" Widescreen, with a 2ms response and a 2000:1 contrast ratio for only $260.

Even if a monitor it VGA only, it's still compatible with your video card, and it should come with two DVI-to-VGA adapters.

I've heard Sceptre is a pretty reputable brand, i've had some off-name brands like Tyris and they still look and perform great, with no dead pixels. The first LCD that actually had a dead pixel was an Acer.
