Monitor Upgrade

[JE78]

I have a 19" Viewsonic VX924 and I'm thinking of upgrading to a Acer AL2216Wbd Black 22"

Would the upgrade be worth it for the extra 3 inches?

Went from a dell 18" to dell 20" widescreen.....oh yeah it's worth it 🙂

i'd jump at a new dell 24" if a great deal goes around.... 😉

With the new Dell 27 inch coming out, I'm gonna be looking for a sweet deal on a 24 incher.

oh yeah

Oh thou who have infinite money---one little gotcha to worry about---along with size may come an an rather steep increase in native resolution the monitor
runs at---at some point in time---the text may just become too small for your eyes to see at normal viewing distance.---so try before you buy.

In my case---my lcd native resolution is perfect for me without glasses---but my wife hates it---and she is still using 800x600 on a huge crt that takes up most
of her desktop.

I'd say get a new monitor if you want but not that one

do you research on lcd's about panel types and find out what panels are in all the lcd's your considering

remember ms times don't mean much different panels have higher ms take this into consideration that when they record that ms time that it's the LOWEST they have recorded it not meaning consistent.

depending on what you do with your monitor should depend on what kind of panel your going to want

this is my fav guide it's a little outdated on some of the monitor but it's still a very good guide:

Thanks guys. I was looking at this monitor because my parents monitor just died and they needed a new one. I saw that on Newegg and thought I could sell them my old one and the get a new one with the money I got from the old plus a little thrown in. I noticed Circuit City has them so I'll check it out there.
