Heres my choice. Whats the best deal? Some gaming but mostly for general usage. I was thinking about the Va1912W and Vx922.

From my researching the past few days the Va1912W seems to be the best choice in the 19" widescreen range. It is liked by most of everyone that bought it. I am thinking about buying it myself. But am trying to save for a 20.1" not sure if I can wait another month and a half to 2 months though.

Take it from someone who has a 19" LCD, you really want to get that 20.1 WS from Viewsonic.

Im tempted but thats about $520 shipped which IS EXPENSIVE! However im only going to be buying it once and I do have the money so why not?

I have the vx922. Love it.

Would go bigger if I could do it over again....oh well. This thing fits the space i have for it perfectly.

Well, if you are going spend more than your intended budget on one piece of hardware, it might as well be the monitor.

A good monitor will last you through a number of computers, and should depreciate in value slower than almost any other piece of hardware.

True that, I was thinking of a hardware upgrade soon. Might as well put the money on a monitor rather than upgrading to the new breed of cards. Gotta check how much I have in my piggy bank

I have the VA1912WB, and I have a 20.1" widescreen as well. The VA1912WB is a TN panel. Its fine for normal desktop use and a decent gaming LCD, but it is not very good for watching movies, and doesn't scale too well to non-native resolutions. It is also a 6-bit display (although the colors still look very good). The main thing it has going for it is price - its amazingly inexpensive (at least in the U.S.). The VX2025WM is larger (obviously) but also will have much better viewing angles and better contrast, since its a SPVA panel. It is an 8-bit display as well. It will scale a lot better than the 19" as well (partially due to it using smaller pixels).

In the U.S., at NewEgg, the prices are $205 for the VA1912, and about $329 for the VX2025...
