    best 17/19 LCD monitor at a reasonable price?

    im looking to get one to finally replace the old monitor i have. i look at bestbuy and see HP's are cheap but i am not a fan of their computers, so i don't know if they are any good. something under 300 bucks is preferable.

    I finally replaced mine a month or two ago. I went to bestbuy and picked up a 19'' widescreen LG monitor for $200..I liked it so much I went and bought another so I got two of them next to each other works great

          I quite satisfyied with my BenQ monitors. I think it's among the least expensive monitors and the quality is fairly good.

            Check out Acer. I have a 17 inch on a backup and the color and crispness is unlike anything I have ever seen. Looking at about $150 give or take.

                    well under 300 bucks is reasonable, i know there are tons under this price but just want to know what brands to look for.

                      Samsung has the line they market toward gamers, with 2 ms refresh rate. They are certainly easy on the eyes, but you pay a bit more for the added performance.

                              I love viewsonic lcd monitors, and I like neovo lcd monitors as well (I just had a F-419 crap out on me though). Neovo LCD's are among the best performance vs. price you can get. Whatever you do... do NOT get hanns-g gah.

                                I love my 19" Dell LCD. 1905FP. I think it got replaced by the 1907FP though.

                                        thanks guys, i think i'll probably either go for acer or viewsonic. i don't use my pc for gaming, just web and watching video mostly. btw, do lcd monitors get rid of glare from windows/lights? im still using the old crt ones.

                                          I'm really happy with my samsung.

                                          I think it was an HP in the store that I started to turn on it's stand - and the flex of the case caused something inside to short out and the screen went blank and it made a little smoke... so I didn't buy the HP that's for sure.

                                                      wow, this is going to take some getting used to. i've used nothing but 17" monitors with 800x600 display before, now im 1280x1024. the fonts seem so small and the white is blinding.

                                                        I'd recommend 19" Samsung or Benq flat panels for around $200.
