LCD monitors

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

I am thinking about getting one at least 19"
Can anyone recomend a brand.
What is the difference between then?
Is it worth the money or not?

[TheUltimateWarrior]

I dont know much about them

I know that between 15" and 17"is a big price difference!

[Sauron]

i heard u get blurry pictures if there is a fast movement but it could be that the newwer ones dont do that anymore

[TheUltimateWarrior]

Yes I heard about that too

I friend of mine got an 17" LCD monitor 2 months ago
and got blurry pictures when he played games
he played SOF....

[Sauron]

U should test it b4 ya buy it and test it with an fast game too not only with an office program

[TheUltimateWarrior]

try it with SAm!!!

[Diablo]

Yea try it with sam!

My Dad just got a 21" flat panel from Dell. I played Sam on it and it is perfectly clear with rich robust colors. The 9700 Pro he got with it probably didn't hurt!

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

I think they are a lot better than they used to be.

[Grimmy]

I would like to get one also, but I want a 20"+ one, just don't what to pay $1000+ for one :bawling:

Im using a 17" inch one right now. It runs great and I have perfect images with lots of anti glare.

Got it for $544 off pricewatch. VERY nice monitor. Its made by Cornea Technologies.

Right now I have a CRT 19" 18" viewable KDS flat screen with a .25 dot pitch.
I know that with crt monitors the dot pitch makes a big difference.
Does this apply with the LCD screens?

I&#39;m not sure what the exact cost was because he just bought a whole new system for Dell. I do know that by selecting that monitor it added &#036;1000.

I have two 21" regular old crt monitors. I am not shelling out &#036;1000+ for flat screens and I don&#39;t like to game on anything smaller than a 21" screen.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

The 19" works good for me.
I just want more bang for my buck.

I&#39;m actually starting to look into getting one myself... I knew a few of my friends have Dell flat panels and they really like them.. I&#39;m including a link to tomshardware because that&#39;s where I tend to do a decent amount of my research on computer things... I did a quick search for monitors and there&#39;s quite a few lcds in there... check it out if ya want

I have Samsung LCD and it&#39;s pretty good you should buy 19" I have 15.1, It&#39;s better for small details if you design on the computer (like me) and for games it&#39;s pretty good.

Here&#39;s what I read in Computer Games&#39; Dec 2002 issue:
Well, I started to type the article and got lazy, here are some scans of it.

is that made with a hand scanner ?

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

Had to split the next paragragh, here is the first half:

The scanner has a flat glass top just like a copying machine.
Here&#39;s the other half of that article.

I haven&#39;t studied them much, and I know people who use them, but for gaming purposes, the CRTs are still preferred. I&#39;d rather spend &#036;450-500 on a good 21 inch CRT than &#036;600 or &#036;700 on an LCD screen, but that will come down to personal preference. WTH do I know, I&#39;m using a 17-inch Dell monitor, 7years old now. I&#39;d like to upgrade, too, but this beast just won&#39;t die&#33; The LCDs are very cool, but I&#39;d try to research that the one I was interested in would give me the gaming performane I want before buying. Maybe Best Buy or ChompUSA will have a couple out for you to get a good look at.

[ME BIGGD01]

that was great info hpc, thanks. i am going to buy a 17" soon maybe today and will use your notes. again thanks.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

I just found this.
Thanks man.
I am still looking around.
I am used to shopping by dot pitch.

[ME BIGGD01]

well i was eager so i did it and found a great bargain at compusa (you know the place where mostly idiots work) . i bought a 17" lcd which cost 279.00 dollars after rebates but shelled out 565.00 including tax. i doubt it will keep up with my vga card but can and will use it for something else. i still havent taken out of car as i am trying to rearrange setup.

[OUTLAWS high ping camper]

Hey that&#39;s great BIG&#33; Be sure to post something about it.
It will be awhile, but I think a bigger monitor will be my next upgrade.

[ME BIGGD01]

yeah i was going to buy a 15" as they are 300 dollar range so i figured what the hey 17" on sale me buy it. i just hope they do not screw me on the mail in rebates

It does seem to take forever to get rebates.
I have a theory that they don&#39;t send them, unless you check on the status of them.
And that.................my friend...............makes me..........an angry camper&#33; :)

[OUTLAWS Behind You?]

Naw, you don&#39;t have to check on them, CompUSA will send you a denial letter. At Least they did to me. I had bought a 15gig and a 30gig Maxtor drive, each with a rebate. When they rang up the 30gig, it came up with the wrong price, so I had them fix it. The rebate people wouldn&#39;t send the rebate because the receipt didn&#39;t have the right numbers on it. I wrote back, explaining what had happened and they sent be the checks. Boy was I surprized. :wootrock:

I&#39;ve found Maxtor to be a good company to deal with. Between me a a couple buddies, we&#39;ve sent back two drives that failed or had problems, and gotten better drives in return&#33; Not there there have been many overall, and I love the quietness of the liquid bearings.

[ME BIGGD01]

well i will just deny the bill on bank card if it is not sent to me. now that you tell me this i will call them asap and let them know.
