G'day I was hoping you'd help me out

I did some research today into getting an LCD monitor that would serve me well not just for crispness of picture but also for gaming (refresh rate) and what not. Anyway, a monitor with the best combination of both I could find. Tom's Hardware review was especially keen on it.

I finally settled on the Viewsonic VP930b which seems to have enjoy rave reviews. Anyway, for some reason I am having major dramas trying to find it in Australia. I have tried a huge range of Aussie online retailers to no avail. Everyone seems to stock the VP920b however it seems to be a far less capable monitor.

I also just went to the computer store in town and all their monitors were crap.

Questions:

1) Why would I be finding it so hard to find the VP930b in Australia? Is it old now?

2) Perhaps any recommendations that you know to be comparable with the VP930b?

Any help would be most appreciated
Cheers

See if you can find the Viewsonic VX2025WM. It's an excellent 20.1" widescreen LCD great for gaming!
 
One thing to look at first when choosing an lcd monitor for a gaming machine is the response time. For an lcd with 12ms or lower you would all set. BenQ has one model that is as low as 2ms. Other models by Viewsonic will see 8ms. The size of the monitor will also have a role in choosing the make and model for the best performance. Look over the specifications of the ones available.
 
Heres some aussie stores that are good, unfortunatly they dont have that model listed on their sites, but you could call them and see fi they can get it in for you.
