What would you do? - GoFuckYourself.com

Ok, I have a quandry here.

I have two workstations in my home office. Currently I've got a 17" CRT and a 19" CRT for them, and the 17" is pretty sad. So it's time to upgrade. Here's the thing:

Would you get two 19" widescreen LCDs (Samsung 940BW) for $540 including taxes plus exchange coverage?

Or would you get one 20" widescreen LCD (Samsung 205BW) for $490 including taxes plus exchange coverage? That means I keep the 19" CRT for the secondary computer.

Any thoughts on this?

I'd go for the 2 19's.

scottybuzz · 02-11-2007, 02:52 PM

what i would do is not promote a company that uses zango before i start buying tv's

Managing 2 screens is a hassle....

I opted for 1 Large widescreen.

You can get a 24" Widescreen for just a bit more then two 20" widescreens.

Thanks, but I have two workstations. I am not talking about a dual monitor setup.

ThreeDeviants · 02-11-2007, 04:10 PM

go for two 19" lcd's... much more workspace than a single 20"

Hollywood376 · 02-11-2007, 04:16 PM

save for a bit, then get one 30-40 inch LCD.

That's what I'm thinking for my home set up. I'm using dual 21 inch CRT's here at the office.

woj · 02-11-2007, 04:18 PM

I would get 22'' acer for around $300 or so

woj · 02-11-2007, 04:20 PM

this one: http://www.a-power.com/product-989
(you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere)

ayne468 · 02-11-2007, 04:26 PM

I say go for the two 19" ones...but I am no expert

the Shemp · 02-11-2007, 04:31 PM

i'd dump the crts

Yeah I've seen the Acer in action and wasn't that impressed. The viewable angle was pretty cramped and the stand was chintzy.

Fap · 02-11-2007, 06:51 PM

Two 19" widescreen LCD Samsung 940BW

gecko · 02-12-2007, 02:42 AM

Two 19's....

Chio · 02-12-2007, 02:46 AM

I'd get the two 19s if you switch from one computer to the other a lot. It may strain your eyes a bit if one is LCD and the other is CRT.

LCD took some getting used to for me at first but now a crt really hurts my head.

PHP-CODER-FOR-HIRE · 02-12-2007, 02:49 AM

two 19s... that way you can go dual-screen in the future, and for now, you have two new monitors instead of one new monitor.

besides it's only 50 bucks more

Vitasoy · 02-12-2007, 07:47 AM

Duo 19's if it was me

Ok, on second thought, I've done some research now and the Acer looks like a pretty decent product. Does anyone here have experience with the 22" Acer (either 2216 or 2223)?

abyss_al · 02-12-2007, 02:41 PM

i don't like the 20 wide... looks weird.. 24 wide is great though.. hehe.. id get a regular 20 imo.. or maybe 2 20's

Elli · 02-16-2007, 03:32 PM

Alright, here's an update:

The Samsung 205BW came on sale for $273 plus $13 for a complete Zero Dead Pixel 1 Year guarantee. I couldn't pass it up. So we got one for each computer.

Soooo happy

There's a little backlight bleed in the bottom left corner, but nothing too noticeable. Yay!

MOxxx · 02-16-2007, 03:33 PM

I went for a 42"
