Buying 2nd LCD for Dual

[Stokes]

I currently have the Hyundai L90D+ which I absolutely love. It's stylish exterior matches its performance. No problems with it at all and it's great for gaming.

I'm looking to add another LCD to the mix for a dual monitor setup. The second LCD will be used for watching TV as well as a dual monitor. I don't want to buy an LCD/TV cause they are hell a expensive and not worth it.

My general use for this is TV while surfing the net or maybe playing a game if the comp can handle it.

I see quite a few LCD's I could get for around $239 range. Which is what I want to spend such as the Fuji:

My dilemma is go for another 19"?? or go for a 17" Which is the same resolution as the 19" and some argue that you don't gain any actual estate with it, but I really like the size of my 19". I'm looking for general opinion here and help finding the best/cheapest LCD.

id say get an inexpensive 19inch...if u dont plan to game on this monitor too much, get a "run of the mill" one that runs windows/tv fine....

Thats what I was thinking, looking through for peoples suggestions on cheap LCD's for this purpose or any deals going on.

I'd love to buy another L90D+ but they are running pretty expensive like the dell 1905FP or whatever. It would be hotness to see to L90D+ together, but to spend another $320-350 on it... errr....

All the other monitors which are cheap are because of a rebate that won't come for awhile. What to do.

You know what, if you're going to keep them for awhile, nothing beats two of the same monitor. I've used mismatched LCD's at home for 2 years now (19" and 17", 17" and 18"), and a nice matched 17" pair at work, and nothing beats using two identical monitors. The way they line up just perfectly can't be understated, but what's even better is that aside from 2 of the same kind of monitor, there's always going to be slight variations in colour and brightness (even if you calibrate and adjust them).

With a 17" and a 19" it will be a bit of a pain, since text is of different size on the two screens (both use 1280X1024 resolution; lower resolutions look like crap, of course).

I agree jiffy. You know what I'm thinking?

I heard the L91D from Hyundai (which looks exactly like the L90D+) has a better viewing angle and better for media then the L90D+. The L90D+ is better for gaming as I found from other people.

I may go ahead and go with that. Just seeing if anyone has more information on that L91D
