IBM is by far the best.

 

[Arcanedeath]

I'll 2nd the rec for the IBM it's by far the best of the 3 choices you listed.

another vote for the IBM

are the other two even flat?

 

[Anubis]

if your gonna buy a 21 inch monitor BUY A GOOD ONE not a cheap one, my 19in cost more then thoes do

consider these infinitly better models

one

Two

also a 22in has better geometry then a 21

Three

four

five my personal fave

and DO NOT BUY FROM TIGER DIRECT

why arnt those good monitors...ive never bought a monitor b4 so i dont really no what im looking for i just thought below 26 pitch and flat was all that really mattered and doesnt the ibm have all of that?

plz explain and thx for the recs

 

[Anubis]

well other then the IBM the other 2 are not FLAT monitors, if you look at them side by side you can really tell the diff, its the same thing as a normal TV and a Flat TV, picture is sharper clearer and not distorted

the IBM does look good bow cheap it is concerns me, it also is only 19.8in viwable and not 20in viewable

 

[mastrduke]

its cheap becuz its a refurb

at least thats why i think its cheap


i think that a refurb is just as good as new...plz plz correct me if im wrong...cuz i really think i may buy this monitor

 

[mastrduke]

any other opinions on this?

 

[Anubis]

ahh didnt see it was a refurb, seems like a good deal then

personally i dony buy refurbs but thats just me

 

[mastrduke]

ya i wasnt sure if a refurb was ok or not...anybody ever bought a refurb monitor...i have a refurb xbox and palm zire 71 and both work like brand new the warranty on the ibm is only 1 year i think tho...is this bad?

 

[RaNDoMMAI]

lots of people have got refurb monitors and have not have problems but some have gotten refurb monitors with scratchs in the casing and some have a perfect monitor but then in 4 months or soit dies for no reason.

Its all in the luck of the draw

would u guys buy the refurbed 21 inch ibm or a new 19 inch that anand uses in their medium price guide?

they use the Samsung 955DF (19") DynaFlat CRT what u guys think? i really dont no anything about monitors and i dont want to spend too much...especialy on a 19 inch...i think almost nething will be an improvement over teh hp pavilion mx90 im using, u can see some of the features here http://tomshardware.bizrate.co...,prod_id--5149409.html

plz tell me which is the better monitor...im also always open to other opinions
