Superman told me to look at these brands Dell and Sony. I don't know much about this stuff and Supes said to start a thread. Any help is greatly appreciated :D

I have a Dell 24" about 3 years old.
Main problem with these is the power button as it broke years ago. Was a huge pain to get it back into the correct spot so it would power on. How I do not touch the power button and if I need to turn it off I use a power strip power button.

Over all those it is a very nice display !

Second LCD I have is a SAMSUNG 24" that I got from Best Buy about a year ago, can't remember what I paid but it was a good deal if I remember correct.

It has a few bad pixels but over all the picture is brighter in color compared to the Dell.

Both are great displays tho.

I have a Samsung 24" monitor as well and I love the vivid colors and clarity, it pwns :D
But for a budget model, try out an Asus monitor.

In 95% of broke overclockers, only 10% became broke 99% of the time.

65% of statistics are made up 89% of the time :p

I just picked up (and returned) a 23" Acer H2333H BWID or something liek that from bestbuy for 192 after tax (179 initially). It had a row of pixels that were intermitantly bad. I was going to exchange it but the rejects they hire are insufferable so I just got my money back instead of spending more time waiting.

Except for the defect I was amazed at the color, response time, temperature and most importantly (it doubles as a bedroom HTPC) the viewing angles. The viewing angles especially were not something I expected in a cheap monitor.

Once summer is over, my FW900 is coming back out of storage :)


But for LCDs 1080p monitors are very cheap. I prefer 16:10 for gaming now, and the downgrade to 1920x1080 was tough, but it is much better than the 22" 1680x1050, that I am currently using. (but not gaming on)

After I grab another 550 combo I am going to invest in a couple of 1080p monitors I think. Let us now has this one works out for you.

So did you get the monitor? If so how is it working out for you?
