BenQ FP931 @ Newegg

16ms Response

IT HAS DVI (don't listen to Newegg, look at BenQ's site).

Best money you'll ever spend.

Benq fp931

Damn that looks sexier than the 951. 16 ms 19" lcd with DVI for 509 (+12 shipping+taxes) with the hassle of no rebates. I'd say it's a tossup between that and the viewsonic.

From experience of using a fp951, the screen was EXTREMELY bright that it stung my eyes if the monitor is used in a dark room. But that could've been part of the adjusting I had to overcome when switching from CRTs to LCDs...

edit: whoops didnt see you already made your decision as I posted this. Good luck with it!

I liked the looks of the Viewsonic better than the BenQ. that and plus i've never heard of BenQ before. Hopefully I get the monitor sometime next week. I paid $10 more for 2nd UPS so maybe i'll get it by wednesday. thanks again for all the help.
