Need a New Monitor Advice

[bradyapba]

Well my Sun 21" CRT died....after 3 years. So now im looking at LCD's.... but dont know much about them.. except looking at response times and ghosting issues.

So, i have a budget of about $250-$350. Looking for a 19 Inch.

I game a lot.. along with regualr use surfing, email, spreadsheets, etc.

Any help would be great.

thanks,

Chris

Nice 19' LCD for the money

I second that motion on the BenQ FP91G+.

I bought one about 4-5 months ago and it's a great monitor for both gaming and everyday use.

I like the Dell 1901FP, personally. That's the one I use. I'm thinking about getting another, if I can find that model anywhere. I think they're selling 1905FP now.

Personally I like Viewsonic LCD's. I bought a 19" VX910 1 1/2 years ago and I have been very happy with it. Even though it has a 25 ms response time (which was good then for a 19"), I have never had any issues when playing DVD movies or playing games like CS or WoW. It was $800 when I bought it...ah yes it hurts...anyhow, they came out with pretty sweet new models and they are also pretty cheap like for example the 19" VX924 with a 3ms response time for $359 at newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116355) or the 19" VG920 with a 8ms response time ( this one is specifically for advanced graphics/gaming users) also for $359 at newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824116369).
There are a lot of good ones out there so I would read some reviews and look at them in a store like Bestbuy to see the differences in brightness, viewing angle and color saturation.

BenQ FP91+ used it for a month, no dead pix, excellent color, great for my gamez 8ms. Don't count on rebates tho. They never come.

I'd go for the VX924.

I'd wait for the next Dell hot deal on the 1905FP.

Any opinions on this Hanns G lcd from tigerdirect? Reviews are good, but I am skeptical - there are no negative reviews. I read somewhere that it may samsung internals.
About the rebate- from the reviews, people have been paying $5 for expedited rebates and getting it back in 2 weeks. I'm tempted to try it out- it's only $200 with DVI.

I'm looking at the Samsung 940B. It looks like a good monitor. Might just be outta you'r price range though...
