What would you do?
 

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.

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.

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

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.

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

(you can probably find it cheaper elsewhere)

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

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.

Two 19" widescreen LCD Samsung 940BW

Two 19's....

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.

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

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)?

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 :)

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!

I went for a 42"

go with what ever keeps the most money in your pocket, but keeps you happy!
