Monitor question

[DaTT]

Are Compaq monitors worth buying? I can get my hands on a Refurb'ed 21" Compaq for $200. Should I do it?

From what I know they are Trinitron tubes and the image quality is very nice. But I have a friend that had a refurb'd one and it went on him after about a year I think it was. Don't know if this is an isolated incident or not...two other friends used the same one for over 2 years and nothing ever went wrong. For $200, if you need a monitor, I personally would go for it.

I don't desparately need a monitor, I'm just sick of being the only kid on the block that still has a 17"

OK, heres another option I have encountered....should I go with the 21" curved screen...or a 19" flat screen for the same price......choices choices.....

As you can see I don't have much experience in the monitor field. I'm a heavy gamer and thats pretty much all my machine is used for. I have a 17" curved screen now and obviously want a bigger screen.......what ever shall I do??????
