I might buy one soon but don't have any idea who makes the best out there? You guys have any recommendations? Good or bad experiences with any LCD monitors?
I bought a Samsung Synchamaster 191T LCD after reading recommendations from other GFY'ers. So far, so good , definitely better than my old, small CTR.
But I think there's already a newer version of it.
I currently own a Dell 19'' trinitron which is pretty ok I think...however I heard LCD are better for our eyes and reduce headaches and such...you guys have any opinion on whether its true or just hype?

How can that be?.... I'm not looking at it on that monitor, I'm looking at it in my monitor
I looked at lots of monitors. Some were twice as expensive, but this one had the best picture quality of any of them.
Envision is the 2nd largest monitor manufacturer in the world and makes monitors for other brands as well.
I swear when you have this baby tweaked and at 1280 X 1024 images look like you've got a studio quality 8 x 10 print on your screen. Its that good and crystal clear with absolutely perfect color, saturation, brightness and contrast.
I've had monitors 3 times the cost of this one that don't come close to it.

damn im going to look into one now from your high review, i have wanted an nice lcd for a long time but they are usually really expensive.
i want to get, hands on this Samsung 21" Digital LCD
but for 1,499.99 ill wait till the price drops. Till then im stuck with my MITSUBISHI Dimond plus 73.
what are they? so I know what you *don't* recommand
Sony, Nanao, Viewsonic, NEC.
Its not that they aren't great monitors. But this new one I got has the best image quality I've ever seen, especially at that price point. Samsung was my 2nd choice, but at twice the price and side by side this Envision looked just as good and actually had a brighter picture.
How much tweaking did you have to do to get it looking nice?
Just get a high end video card, push the frequency as high as you can go, run it at 1280 x 1024 and get some DisplayMate screen calibration images to tweak the brightness, contrast, white / black points and colors.

That 21" Samsung is nice. Picture is perfect. But I personally don't like a screen that large. A 17" LCD is equal to a 19" CRT in terms of screen size and that one is just right to me.

It depends, some CRT monitor flicker more than others, at certain frequencies, or have flickering interactions with fluorescent lighting, which causes eyeaches/headaches in some people. LCD displays generally don't have that issue...the pixels are on continuously, not briefly activated in quick succession and repeatedly refreshed as they are on a CRT.
#1 - Fuck dell, go samsung. Dell LCDs are Samsung LCDs, with a nice markup.
#2 - The 'not good for games' is referring to response time, which can result in smearing if you get a crap LCD, like a BenQ.
<25 is good, <16 is great.
#3 - I posted a similar threada month back, and looked around. The best you can do is a samsung, and i'd recommend the 193T. I'd actually recommend 2. Cheaper than 24" single, and you get 36" of rotatable, 1280x1024 DVI / VGA glory.
