Need a new monitor
Posted: Wed Apr 02, 2008 8:24 pm
Advice?
Requirements:
Cheap.
At least 19 inches, preferably larger since me and my wife are both hard of seeing.
Fairly Cheap.
LED would be nice if I can get a clear one for cheap. If not, at least a flat screen CRT.
As Cheap as possible. We is poor.
Solid name brand. I have had it with off brand crap.
I want something that would work for gaming, since my son is into that (of course) and I am not above indulging sometimes myself. Doesn't have to be too fancy though.
Not too expensive.
And of course, easy on the pocketbook.
Anyone have a suggestion or three?

on places like newegg.com, tigerdirect.com and zipzoomfly.com. They have specials and sales pretty often, but I am going to ballpark that to get a middle-to-lower end brand name like Acer, 19" performance LCD monitor (performance if it's going to be used for gaming - i.e., high contrast ratio and low pixel response time), is going to run you about $175-$190. If you want to go up to 20, probably $225. Same way, if you want to go up to a brand like Sony, but in 19, it's probably going to run about $200-$250 and up.
