What 19" LCD should I buy?

[KillerCharlie]

What do you guys recommend? I used to do a lot of gaming, but now I'm in my last year of college so I'm pretty busy, using it mainly for office applications. However, I'll probably be up to gaming again before I buy another monitor several years from now.

Here's other people in my situation have been suggested:

HYUNDAI L90D+
Samsung 915N
Dell 1905something

I will most likely be ordering from newegg or some other major online store. I also saw a Samsung 930B at Best Buy for $400, but that's a little too expensive and I couldn't find the same thing on newegg.

Does anyone else have suggestions? I heard the Dell is nice but ghosts more... I play mainly FPS and flight sim games, but it might be a couple years before I play regularly again. Right now I'm leaning toward the Hyundai since it seems to be just like the 915N but with DVI, but I'm definitely open to anything. Right now I'm running a P4 2.6 ghz, 1gb ram, and a 9700pro. Would my system specs determine which type of monitor because of the native resolution, specifically for games? Advice? Opinions? Thoughts?

the L90D is a good choice.

Dell 1905FP
Samsung 930B

Whichever you can get for lower; they're essentially the same panel.

Edit - Don't get the L90D. Lots of people have been reporting problems with colors and color bleeding.

Here. I've seen a few threads in the Video section, as well as people who were considering the L90D+ and then were told by others not to get it. Plus, Dell has a reputation for putting out stellar LCD's.

 

[daftpunkit]

then 930B is also good, but Dell has some crazy deals sometimes.

 

[KillerCharlie]

Yeah, but isn't the refresh on the 1905 higher, leading to more ghosting?

Pickup the Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor for $359.40 at Dell Home
that occured Tue, 02 Aug 2005. http://www.passwird.com/arc_050725.htm

It will happen again, maybe. They cleaned out a lot that day.

 

[KillerCharlie]

I'll wait a while to see if another deal comes up on the 2005FPW. It looks like the refresh rate is pretty low, right? However, what if my system can't run resolutions too high and I have to run at a lower resolution?

 

[daftpunkit]

it will not look as good, but should still be ok, out of its native resoluation. The 9700PRo can probably run its native resolution but gaming it will stress it out a bit more. A 7800 GT should solve that problem, but that is another $350 about.

 

[KillerCharlie]

It looks like the 2005FPW has scaling so you can scale any resolution to make it "native."

 

[xtknight]

If you want the best...Samsung 193P+, but it comes at a price.

 

[pi3rce]

LCD's have been dropping big time in price over the last couple months, and more to come in the next few months, especially with Christmas right around the corner. I've got a L90D+ and haven't had any problems with it at all, gaming (BF2/UT2K4) or with dvd's and streaming video. I didn't think Dell actually made any LCD'S, but put their name on other peoples stuff... I could be wrong tho'.

 

[daniel49]

been running the samsung 915N for several months now..no problems
I thought it was a nice deal on newegg for 300.00 very fast response time.
