I bought the first LCD monitor ever made, and it's way too dark/crappy for me.... It's time to move on. I am looking for at least a 20 inch regular flat screen monitor..... Anyone know any good websites where I can find high quality and fairly cheap monitors? Thanks a lot

Somewhere close to your house so you dont have to break your back lugging it home :)











But seriously.. i have no idea :) The 4 already mentioned have been mentioned in many places, so those should be pretty decent

Go get some coupon codes at techbargains
and then on checkout, see if Dell's doing
free shipping.

On monitors, that in itself is a big deal.

Also, don't think cuz a store doesn't
advertise it, there might not be rebates
on a monitor from the manuf..

I went today to Sony and found a 100 buck
rebate on the monitor I was considering that
Dell didn't even advertise/....?

Add the 10 percent off code and it made for
a pretty substantial discount with the free
next day shipping they're doing right now.

I personally think yer nuts to be doing a 20 inch
screen on lcd....they are HIGHER THAN HELL
and not much more real estate than a 17.4 or an 18.1
and even if they were they're still typically 1280x1024 or
not much higher than that.......

__________________________

As an aside:

I was going to buy the new SOny X series 18 inch screen
that came out this week. I assumed the rise/fall rates
would be the same as their 15 inch x series that has been
out for a while

I was mistaken

The 15 incher was 10 rise/20 fall
The 18 incher was 20 rise/30 fall (NEARLY HALF AS FAST!)

To my surprise however, the upcoming 17 inch X series screen
is 5 rise/20 fall (milliseconds) which is the best of the three.....

Guess I'll be waiting a bit and save a little cash and get the 17.4 inch
screen......

I do like the new Sony monitors with digital inputs, integral power supply
and good speakers etc.

The 18 can be had under 800 with the steps I listed above
and the 17 should be able to be gotten in the 6's provided Dells
generosity holds out......but the lesson is, never assume...always read
specs/reviews etc.
