You might have the same thing as me (Mitsu 2070), just the HP branded version of it.

It's great in every way except the screen size. I would like something with a larger screen, but without the limitations of LCDs. OLEDs couldn't come soon enough.
Probably. Theres only 2 or 3 companies that actually make monitors. Everyone else is just a brand.

Also I've noticed that its almost impossible to find a crappy 22 incher. When they go that big they dont make crummy models.

40" Samsung HDTV

Got a 24" Samsung LCD on my desk too, however after using my TV I just can't enjoy playing anything on the "small" 24-incher. I sit pretty close to it, so it fills my sight almost completely (the TV that is).

I have a 19" Acer at 1680x1050 and a 21.5" Asus @ 1920x1080. Haven't played any games yet on the 21.5"...maybe this weekend I'll throw Farcry 2 or Bioshock up on it. I think my 4850 might have some difficulties at that high of a res tho.

I use a 26" Westinghouse L2610nw which I got at Buy.com for 239.99 shipped. WOW has never looked so good and also looks nice hooked up to my upconvert DVD player. :thumbsup:

22" samsung. I find 22" monitors to be the sweet spot for pricing, the price jump from 19" to 20" to 21" to 22" is so small its a no brainer, but the jump from 22-24 is ridiculous.

I primarily game on my 24" monitor, but like to play BF2 on the 58" plasma sometimes...Looks pretty good...

Damn, good projectors are so hugely expensive where I live...how are the prices in the US?

Well, my fav is a 22" screen. I find with my current eyesight the 22" screen is just right. My current 22" LCD is a LG L226WTQBF. I love it. Great for gaming and no ghosting. Easier on the eyes than a 20". I dont see the need yet for myself to go up to a 24" LCD.

24" Asus 1920 x 1080, 22" Acer 1920 x 1080. Bigger is better.

19" Gateway CRT. Had a 20" Dell that crapped out on me, that was awesome. Eventually I'll probably go 22" LCD. Don't want to go too big as I don't like to upgrade my VC all the time.

Twin 22" Samsung's turned vertical and set to span giving me a 2400x1900 resolution.

Work has 24" ans 25.5" Samsungs. I'm jealous and hope someday I can afford to try the same thing with some of those. 2ms refresh goodness!

I have a 22 inch and a 19 inch dual-view setup.

I play at 1600 x 1050 on BF2 and any other games. Love it.

I've been using a 22" 16X10 Samsung for the stereo 3d for the last 5 weeks.

I've also got a 30" Dell 25X16 and a 24" NEC 19X12 I used to game on, now use for net surfing and the like.
