Looking for a flat panel monitor

Post by darlin »

I'm looking to purchase a 17" flat panel monitor. I've read a few reviews, but I didn't really get anything from them. I don't want to pay a furtune for one, around 300.00, maybe a tad more. I want one that has a good refresh rate, nice saturated images, crisp text. I don't need speakers with it.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.....Thanks

I dont have one, but Samsung makes a NICE flat panel for about $360. It is everything you want in one. I saw them at Sams Club here in Ohio for that price new.

Good luck!

(PS. Check out SlickDeals.net or PriceGrabber.com to do some searches.)

yeah I saw a benQ 17" with a 12ms. for 500$ CDN @ NCIX

would be good for games I dont reccomend getting anything with a .25ms

I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous

sometimes you have to think outside the box to get inside the box ;).
