What is a better deal EN 710, DF753 or Philips

[dvdman3]

The Envision 17 inch goes for $129 after rebate or Samsung $149 after rebate or Philips 107s which I am not sure. Which is the best price and performance combination as I need 2 of them. Of course I like the 700NF there is a good deal... otherwise.

Avoid the Philips at all costs because they all have bad tubes (it's noticeably blurrier than any other monitor out there).. I'd say go with the Samsungs becuase th quality of the picture beats out Envision and the price is not too much higher..

i got the envision last time it was a deal... it sucks... flickers like a mofo...

i have a 19in 950p samsung that is pretty sweet(got it for$162 from dell a couple months back). I have never used envision but there is a good deal going from staples this week that would allow you to get for $70 plus tax HERE. That seems like the best choice right now.

I have a Samsung 700NF and I love it. Have had it over a year now with no problem. One thing about the 700NF, it has 2 thin horizontal lines about 1/3 and 2/3 of the way down the screen. Something to do with the phosphor mask. They are only faintly visibile (I had forgotten about them), but some people hate them. Its one of those things that if it bothers you, it only gets worse. If it doesn't, you'll forget they are there.
