Im in the market for a black, 19" LCD monitor. I have up to $250 to spend.

Thanks.

What will it be used for thats a key issue

 

[nick1985]

ahhhh good question.


Just basic use mainly. MS Office, internet, and light gaming. She dabs around with Diablo 2, starcraft, NFS2, and a little BF2.

hmm well thats gunna be a littler tougher then cause with things like BF2 ur gunna want to keep the response time down

I like acer alot and here is one that is your price range http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_techspecs_full.php/masterid=8894423

only issue I could see would be the 12ms response time, while for most things like office work or the games that aren't hardware demanding it won't be an issue in BF2 there may be some ghosting

My advice would see if you can find some reviews from maybe newegg or the like and see if any of the reviewers complained of ghosting

Maybe a nice Dell 19in when a good couopon comes around (I got mine for 212 with free overnight shipping)

Dell response time are usally a little high

Dell LCDs are perfect, I've got a 2405FPW and I wouldn't change it for the world.

When I was doing my research I read very good words about all their LCDs and they all come in a nice black

i just ordered one of these mothers off newegg for a new rig i'm puttin together. i was reading some stuff about color burn on these monitors, but the 350/380 brightness and contrast adjustment sold me, and the price was too tempting.

was wondering what some other's experiences were with this particular monitor.
