I need to buy a new PC Monitor

[andyrose]

Viewsonics and NECs are my favorites in LCDs, and Sonys and NECs are my favorites in CRTs.

You may want to look at a 19" CRT if you're into gaming, they're getting dirt cheap nowadays.

There's a place here that's selling IBM P260's (19 in. FS) for about 160. That's pretty good.

You can't go wrong with a Viewsonic. The color reproduction cannot be beaten by anything I've seen on the CRT monitors.

KDS is also a really good cheap brand, and the warranty can't be beat.

I have a samsung SyncMaster 171v. Weighs about 13 pounds, 17" viewable, gorgeous screen. When you first get it, it takes some messing around to get it the way you like it.

Best Buy is now selling it for $600.

I have a 17" Sony Trinitron Multiscan 200ES that I am quite happy with. I bought it almost four years ago, and I will not be upgrading it when I get my new PC.

By the way, as far as monitors go, these things I know (i think correct me if I am wrong).

Sony CRTs use texas instrument guns. So, therefore, a TI monitor could be of comparable quality at a lower price.

i thought sony used their own parts, and i did not know TI made monitors, but i could be wrong but i think sony use thier own parts but i don't really know. i know viewsonic is sony parts.

I just got a new 19" Envision Flatscreen for like 200$ at CompUSA. Nothing too fancy, but it seems solid enough. The only downside, the thing is so deep I had to rearrange my entire bedroom to fit the damn thing in.

flat screens are nice but LCD is the way to go, or unless you got money for plasma or that 3D one that was around a long time ago, don't know where it is though on the web.
