Best 20"+ LCD Monitor? - GoFuckYourself.com

AdPatron · 02-20-2005, 06:24 PM

I'm looking to get a new LCD monitor, and I'm sure some of you did research before you got yours. Which one did you get? Thoughts?

$tandaman · 02-20-2005, 06:55 PM

dell just got a new one 24" with discounts comes out under 1k..
or you can go for the 21" one for about $500

jonesy · 02-20-2005, 07:37 PM

whats the dot pitch on that dell?

Grapesoda · 02-20-2005, 07:41 PM

try and stay away from any with less than 600:1 contrast

mortenb · 02-20-2005, 07:55 PM

Wait a week and get the Dell. It has a Samsung panel and is assembled by BenQ. The tests (and my local Dell friend) says it is going to rock.
I can't wait to get my dirty little hands on one.

dells are pretty good these days

Nearly ALL graphics cards support dual monitors, so why not get two 17" TFTs?

Then you can edit php/html/css code in monitor 1
and see the preview in monitor 2,
or run a debugger in monitor 2,
or watch porn in monitor 2,
or read GFY in monitor 2

It is a hard cold fact that productivity increase with dual monitors. Not a single study done has said otherwise. That why nearly every single programmer I know has two or even more!

I want one of those dells

TheMob · 02-20-2005, 09:31 PM

Actually, that is what I'm doing; getting two monitors. BUT 17" is too small. I got the money, I want BIG!, but also want the BEST resolution.

Where can I get info on this new Dell?

You are wrong. The reason the price is so much lower that what we are used to is that these monitors are the first that are manufactured using a new technology. The new process makes it much much cheaper to make the panels.

The response time is rated at 12ms gray to gray and 16ms black to black.

The monitor is not available to end-users in North America and Europe before March 1st.

Viewsonic vp201s is pretty good... digital and 16ms response time

I'm happy with my Dell...

AdPatron · 02-21-2005, 08:55 PM

Wow, that wide screen is pretty nice. I wonder how much it will be.

DateDoc · 02-21-2005, 08:58 PM

Samsung 21" is the way to go. Samsung must make about 50% of the LCD monitors out there even when they don't say Samsung on them. Dod you know that in Korea Samsung and Sony work out of the same plant?

stevo · 02-21-2005, 09:20 PM

The new Sony's with Xbright technology are pretty bad ass... very clear imaging...

The 213T is very high on my list. I've looked at it and the image is very good.
