It really depends which one you're talking about. The BenQ FP91G+ is a great gaming LCD.

xtnight or anyone else, can you tell a LCD newbie like me why I experience a certain kind of eye strain with LCDs that I didn't before with CRTs (which still may have been harder on the eyes overall).
My question(s): (1) are others doing the same and dropping settings very low for extended computing sessions? I have a 90GX2 right now that I have at what seem like absurdly low 10% brightness and 20% contrast.
(2) is there a spec or panel type (maybe one of the older lower brightness LCDs) that might be more suitable for me if I'm sensitive to this burning-sun-of-krypton LCD glare, or is it just a matter of proper calibration?
PS - I find my Thinkpad X41 laptop screen relatively easy to view and read with over long periods, whatever that means.

I got my new 20" Viewsonic VX2025wm LCD up and running. It replaced my old 19" Samsung 955DF CRT. The difference is amazing. Running a Intel 3.0GHz with a AGP 7800GS CO Superclock card on it. 1600x1050 is just sweetness! Picture and color is great. If you dont want to spend more money on the NEC then this is a great cheaper alternative. So far only had time to play DAoC on it but I plan to test some other games I have once I get the chance. I paid $344 for mine at ZZF. PageComputer had it for $10 less but I never dealt with them so stuck with ZZF becuase I have not yet had a problem with their service.

It's likely a much lower-brightness TN. Sorry, I'm not sure which TNs these days have low brightness levels. Maybe you could give some of the NEC IPS screens a try. What do you use it for (any gaming?, just general usage?)

This is pretty dell-centric, I know, but the basic measurements should hold pretty accurate for standard monitor sizes.
Screen Size Comparison
yeah, same here, besides having problems with CPU utilization in games, the text @ 1680x1050 is very small, and Im coming from 1280x1024 19' vx924... I mean I dont have glasses and stuff, but I do have problems reading 12pt size Times new Roman in word on vx2025.Originally posted by: raildogg

From the looks of it, the 19' represents the best screen size to value ratio. The 20' widescreen looks smallish in comparison to the others, especially the 20' regular. I may change my mind on purchasing the Viewsonic 2025 now.

I ended up with the same conclusion. Basically the only two with acceptable text size (for me) are the 19" and the 24". At 1920x1200, the 24" ends up at about the same ppi as the 19". All the others are just too small for my eyes. (Not sure about the 30" since that was way out of my range so I didn't bother with much research.)

My 2405 gave me headaches and eyestrain. I think it is because it was just too bright even with the monitor brightness at zero. I got rid of it for this and other reasons. I had 2007fp for a while and that had much more moderate/controllable brightness. I did not get headaches/eyestrain. But it had banding and blurred text.

Can anybody confirm for me whether or not the VP930b is an 8-bit or 6-bit panel? The list at the top of this thread says 6, but the review linked in the same post says it is 8.
Thanks.

Hello Guys,
I love this Forum BTW, I am a new member.
I was looking to purchase a 17 LCD like Eizo but not at $ 500 big ones.
I need something very good for text and colors. No games or DVD's.
From what I read, I would need a S-PVA 8-bit but they don't make in 17.
Should I purchase a 19 or wait for a newer 17 with S-PVA 8-bit?
Or you have something else to recommend?
Thanks,
Intravino
