Best LCD for ~$200

[Finns14]

Please help me out my first build is almost done and I can't wait to use it.

You can find the Acer 17 inchers for around that price almost anywhere. I have an AL1714 that I bought last month for $230 here in Washington. It's great for gaming and movies. No ghosting what so ever.

hey what does everyone think of this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications...tem-details.asp?EdpNo=1490749&CatId=12


I got really excited because on the front page it says 6ms response time but when I looked into it some more its really 8 ms but thats still pretty good

TIGERDIRECT SUCKSSSSSSSSS.

I just a Samsung 710n for gaming. The response time is fast enough. I don't see ghosting in anything, from HL2 to WoW.

Yea I'm thinking of getting that too, it is 6ms response I look at the Acer website.

No, their rebates suck. Other than that, i've heard they're good to work with.

 

[Finns14]

[eXx08]

yea hopefully it's not too much either :roll:

 

[Finns14]

then your best bet is buying something like a 6600 or 6800 and using their upgrade program. If you do the upgrade they will give you full price of the card within the first 3 months

 

[eXx08]

eh.. I think i wouldn't get a new video card till like August next year, My B-Day so I'll just buy a X800GTO and get a 7800GTX or whatever is new then.

19" LCD monitor

Hey, try this one out... it gets good reviews... ppl say it has no ghosting, and to top it all off if your a console game player, then you can hook up your consoles to it, because it has S-Video and composite inputs.

BFonnes

edit: plus, since it's newegg, it comes with a DVI cable.

you shouldn't pay less than $300 for a monitor or you end up wanting something new in a year anyway... just save up for it... besides the price on this one has dropped at least 3 times since I started drooling over it a few months ago... just bought it for $317 with shipping. it used to be over $400 I think... There is no harm in waiting. If you want a 17" CRT, then just get a bargain/free paper and get one for $40 used.

edit: plus, if you already know what you want, why post? it seems like you shoot down every suggestion you get.

Just get the AL1751B, 6ms respons + 16.7 million colurs = Very Good

No matter what you do you're going to want to upgrade in the near future anyway. That's the problem with computers. You buy one thing that is the new technology..six months down the road it's somewhat worthless.

Go with the Acer.

If you don't absolutely need it to be an lcd, I would recomend this: Samsung 19" CRT
