Graphics card & monitor

[Jaap]

Hello people,

I need some advice! I just bought a new PC but I am using a realy bad monitor and no graphics card! Here is what I need:

1. Widescreen monitor 19" and above (Vista ready if there is such a thing) that I can watch movies, play FIFA 07 and program since I have just started work at a software developing company. Budget for monitor around $500.

2. A graphics card for exactly the same reasons as above. Budget for graphics card around $400.

Thanks in advance,

Jaap.

It has a very good response time and is real nice in real life.

You have to let up know what your pc is so someone can direct you to a video card that will fit.

Thanks for the reply.

Well to be honest I was looking for a 21"-22". Any suggestions on that?

I have a core 2 duo 2.6, motherboard I think intel DQ965.

Because I live out of the US I am aiming for a monitor I can get around here But I can order one from the US so its all about quality I can get

So...How about this one, is it good?

I think newegg ships only in the us. But that screen you linked to looks good and im sure it is bc lg makes some veryyy nice tv's so im pretty confident that there screens are good.

I live in Cyprus. But I have access to Greek and UK market due to relatives but I can get my hands on US products as well with some effort! So I guess it would be:
1. Cyprus
2. UK and Greece
3. US

Thanks

U.S. will probably be cheaper at their online stores like newegg. Looking at uk stores and US stores you can usually find a lower price in the US.

The difference will come in the cost of getting it to you in cyprus. If the cost of getting it from U.S. is similar to getting it from the UK then go with www.newegg.com.
