Budget LCD

[Xponential]

I'm looking for a budget LCD that can do 1920x1080 and is $170 or less. I've found the Dell E2210H, Dell ST2210, NEC V221W-BK, and Viewsonic VX2233wm. Which of these 3 would you recommend?

Check the Dell factory outlet. Refurbished monitors are actually very good through Dell. Come with standard warranty also. Check out the ST2310 for $159.99. http://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnline...?c=us&cs=22&l=en&lob=MON&MODEL_DESC=ALL&s=dfh

I was going to go that route, but I talked to a Dell rep through their online chat feature and was told that the refurbs only come with a 90-day warranty.

Man... that blows. I could've sworn they had a better warranty... http://www.dell.com/content/learnmore/learnmore.aspx?c=us&cs=22&l=en&s=dfh&~id=monitorwarranty

This is close but barely scrapes above your budget specified (superb ratings): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236053

Or if you can settle with a rebate:

Or right on target ($169.99) with free shipping:

Does BCB count? Because the Samsung P2250 is the one I'd get.

I'd say that is a very good buy myself.

I ended up going with the AOC 2236Vw on sale for $150 at Staples (normally $180). This was one of only a couple of monitors in this price range that came w/ a 3-year warranty. Only negative is it didn't come w/ a DVI cable, but picked one up for pretty cheap from local computer shop, so no big deal. It looks surprisingly good and overall I'm pleased with it.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with feedback.
