What is a good LCD 17 Monitor?
 

So many Diffrent types.....


I don't want to spend 400+ on it

I saw many 17's for 300-399.00

You get what you pay for... Dell has good stuff

Get anything with Samsung labeled on it... There are quite a few rebranded Samsungs as well.

Samsung makes the best cream of the crop LCDs.

Check out this Sony SDM-S73 17" LCD Monitor.

It looks like they're discontinuing it. You can pick one up for a little over $400 and they now have a $50 rebate.

Best quality at the best price.

Sony also has out xBrite LCD's now that are absolutely breathtaking display, but about twice the price you mentioned.

I just got a BENQ FP767.

Highly recommended.

EIZO FlexScan L557 :thumbsup

Damn straight, dell got some good monitors. I have three 1703FP hooked up to my workstation.

I have an Eizo 17" FlexScan L577 and I'm very happy.

Agreed.

BTW. Dell is selling some Dell labeled Samsung monitors.

you are right, I have one samsung and before use it I thought all lcd's where shit... but you have to try with a good one, then you change your mind.

viewsonic if yo want to go dual..
i however swear by LG CRT monitors

How is the quality compared to a CRT monitor? Any difference?

I could write a book about this as I recently tried out a number of new 17" LCD's and returned them all.

Sony X73B - Annoying shimmering dither problem. Bad contrast and color range. Gave it to my GF.

Samsung 172X - Returned it as it cannot produce a true white unless you turn the brightness waaaaay up. Not as sharp as other panels.

Samsung 173p - Returned it as it was too contrasty and so slow it ghosted during DVD viewing.

Viewsonic Pro 171b - Returned it as it has a problem with a green shift at anything but the highest color temperature setting. Not sharp.

My current GF is a manager at a big computer chain store so I can go in and try anything out for a day or two and return it. A lot of the new panels sacrifice colour and contrast to make up extra refresh speed. On almost all of them the contrast is so poor that someone with brown hair or black in an mpeg will look the same color.

The best panel I have seen and the one I use is the Mitsubishi nxm76LCD which I think is the same panel as the NEC LCD1760VM. It has great realistic contrast and sharpness and does not ghost in movies or games.

Yep, I have this one too, very happy with it... Its has a nice cover for the back which covers the cables too :thumbsup
