Prefer my Vieosonic G90f+b.

The Viewsonic doesn't come close to the NEC or Samsung.

you should get a 19" LCD

I thought of that before, however, I was told CRT>LCD always in gaming. Any suggestion?

 

[ribbon13]

That is very true.

CRT > LCD: Games, digital imaging, fast motion video
LCD > CRT: Weight/size, power consumption, eyestrain

The L90D+ is a very good LCD.

Just on the same note, how about the NEC FE770 for 17" @ Newegg for $146 shipped?

 

[ribbon13]

When you can get 19" for $182??

 

[Aisengard]

Is gaming really that much better on a 19"?

How about this 19" Envision monitor? Any good? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=24-197-002&depa=0

Man, once you try a 19" or 21", going back to a 17" is impossible. Seriously.

It makes your 17" look like a 14" did when you were using 17" monitors.

Get a 19" monitor. Spend the extra money, cause you can have the best pc in the world but if you have a crappy monitor......... stuff will only look as good as what comes out of that monitor.

I'd get the FE991 over that though...but the 991 has some pretty big quality problems. Whatever you do do NOT get the samsung 997df.

Do not get View Sonic. The ultra brite 5x mode of A91f+ is too brite..the middle mode is ok...but the normal is just dark & Blurry and looks like an lcd and to game in normal mode is too dark. I have a sylvania 19inch next to it and miss the size. It REALLY makes a difference!

 

[Aisengard]

But what about Envision? Their 19" Monitor is only about $170, and I haven't heard anything bad about it.

 

[Nebben]

My brother has an Envision 19". It's not bad, but it's far from anything special. I would go with the previous recommendations and get an NEC or something. My old monitor was a 17" NEC SyncMaster and it looked far better than the Envision monitors. NECs are just VERY crystal clear and look really nice, Envision looks a bit washed out.

For the extreme out there I recomend:

For the Budget Minded Extreme I recomend:

For the Avarage Joe looking for a Decent Display:

The FP line has Is a top notch monitor. And is my Pick for Bang For the Buck.

For someone looking for a cheap monitor that gets the job done I recomend:
Viewsonic P95f

The Nec FE line is rather junky and I would not recomned it Like I do the FP line. Its a shame sony no longer makes CRT's, it's one of the few things they were really good at.

Envision aka AOC makes decent stuff. Costco carries em. Not as good as NEC though.

Unfortunately there is no FP 19" line. And Diamond Pro is still the best. Too bad Mitsubishi and NEC can't get along anymore.

Just look for a Monitor that has Multisync Capabilities.
