LCD recommendations

[ky714]

Hi, I've been watching a lot of movies on my computer lately and I decided its time to switch to an LCD since its easier to movie the monitor around, rotating wise. I leaning towards a widescreen option but non-widescreen is ok as well. My budget is <$200 no MIR since its too much of a hassle. So far I've been looking at these two. Any recommendations, input or suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Hanns-G 19" widescreen 5ms

Sceptre 19" widescreen 8ms

probably best widescreen monitor in your price range. It has DVI if your card supports it if not you might need it later down the road.

IPicked one of them up black Friday for $130

Nonetheless, it's a very sleek lcd. 2ms response time and 2000:1 contrast ratio really make this thing great for gaming. The colors seem a bit dull to my liking but I still have yet to properly calibrate it. I'd deff. recommend it if you can find one for a decent price.

was gonna recommend that but for some reason it's not listed as a VGA cable included. It should include one but doesn't say it does. Did yours?

$ 271.24

If you wait a little, the price will come down fast. It's just that it is currently overpriced as it is all-new and somewhat hard to find.
