Recommended monitor?

[Vegeta99]

19", under .26DP, doesn't NEED to be trinitron
needs to do 1280x1024@75Hz
Needs to be around $300
cmon guys, build my computer!
And is the GeForce3 really worth the money over the GF2GTS?

 

[MrHelpful]

The Samsung 955DF is around $300, give or take about $20.

Go to advanced search/ type "monitor"/ that should keep you busy for quite awhile.

 

[JRez]

I'll second the Samsung!

KDS - You like Trinitron tubes? Oh ya, I do.....KDS....

 

[BChico]

I vote for the Viewsonic PF790, same tube as Samsung 900nf or Sony g400...

computer4sure.com has Refurbished Viewsonic PF790's for $280 plus $17 shipping, and as mentioned, is just as good as the G400 or 900NF.

EDIT: www.computers4sure.com and its much better than the Samsugn 955DF, DF's suck 😀

Um sure. I agree an AG monitor is better than a shadow mask but that's just because I prefer shadow mask monitors. You can't even compare them though. The 955df is more of a budget shadow mask but still is very nice. The PF790 on the other hand is meant to be a professional AG monitor. You can't compare those. Sure they are the same price but that's because it's a refurb. I don't recommend getting a refurb. Not for something like a monitor.

And IMO, the G400 or 900nf is much better than the PF790.

Ill third samsung for awesome CS and I happen to love my 900nf. 🙂

Well, aperature grilles piss me off. Those support wires... annoy the living fsck out of me. Shadow mask is fine.

 

[crazyjoekuta]

i don't really notice them... but i'd rather not have them

 

[RossMAN]

I hardly ever notice the two wires unless someone reminds me they are there! Besides they're only very visible in white documents.

Phillips or LaCie good call!
