need help with flat screen monitors

[dinde]

im looking toget a new monitor,17" flat screen (not flat panel aka lcd). what is a good monitor that can hopefully get 1600x1200 (i think thats what it was, or something similiar). the reason i want this is to take advantage of the radeon 9700 pro

im looking to spend around 400$ canadian.

You might look for one of these Samsungs. I've never tried one, but what I was looking for is a flat-tube 17" that can display 1600 x 1200 at a reasonable refresh rate. Since this 17" supports 1920 x 1440 at 64Hz, hopefully it can manage 1600 x 1200 at, say, 80Hz or more.

Viewsonic has a 17" that can do 1600 x 1200 at 77Hz but that might still have noticable flicker. Anyway, hope that's some help

thanx, but i was wondering. i was at teh store and some monitors had 2 lines running through them (i think its the trinitron tube or something?) do these have the lines running through them?

Yo, Turkey, you're back!

If you really want to exercise that 9700, check out these off-lease 21 inchers for CND 329.

Or, since the 9700 can handle it, a pair of 19s and live large.

I have been pulling some of the dell 21's on a PC renewal and let me tell you, about 90% are piss poor looking, bad focus, uncorrectable brightness, screen burn. not a monitor I would trust
