i am looking for 2 new 19" monitors, want to spend ~$550

[bagaki]

I want a set of 19" monitors and i want to spend about $550 for both. Looking for suggestions. I want them to be flat and have excellent display quality. Can i get this for ~$275 each? I do graphic and web stuff and will be staring at them for long periods of time. Suggestions? Reccomendations?

Thanks

Ooh nice. I'd also look at Sony, NEC/Mitsu, and other Samsungs- I love my 955DF, but who doesn't?

Also, Hitachi's entry is supposed to be a great one.

I've been using the Hitachi cm721F for about 10 months now and have to say it's an outstanding monitor. Newegg carries it for $252 and $30 for shipping.

What's the ctx-pr960f rated like among all these?

I have the 19" Envision monitor from Staples. I believe its a .24 or .25 monitor. It has a really nice picture too it and I have the refresh rate set at 120MHz right now. They are usually on sale and you can sometimes get one for as low as $150 ar

I second this, I got a Hitachi CM721F Black from newegg and looks great.

I guess I'm just partial to trinitron tubes over diamondtron.
Something with a trinitron tube...look around.
Diamondtrons still have a bow.

Here's some recommendations under $250 ea

Compaq p910 (16x12 at 85 baby, yeah) -- could be hard to find, out of production
Samsung 957p -- way better than 950b
Hitachi CM715, or CM721F -- both good

As far as the "totally flat" gimmick: don't get sold on it. Sometimes it makes the picture fuzzy, even on the two Trinitrons that I have. Sony E400 and G520, both terribly fuzzy at 16x12, and the color is off. Horrible.

If you want a pair and want them cheap, I just switched out a pair of Iiyama 19" flat screen CRTs with specs as follows:

Iiyama Vison Pro 450
(A901HT) Refurbished X 2
Max 1600 x 1200 /85
Rec: 1600 x 1200 /85
Aperture Grille 19? flat
Video bandwidth: 230MHz dot clock
0.25mm stripe (center)
Mitsubishi DiamondTron NF tube

If you like these, I can sell them to you for a lot less than what you will pay for new ones.
