19 inch LCD help...

downhill · Post by **downhill** » Sun Sep 11, 2005 12:01 pm

I seem to have lost my MaxiumPC mag with the 19 inch LCD shootout.

I may be in the market but am not sure of what specs I'm supposed to be looking for.

Throw an old dog a bone.

Best thing I would suggest is check techbargins for the 19" and the 20" LCD deal codes they throw up for the Dells.. you can find a 20" wide or regular with codes and get one for around 380$ or maybe even less not sure what they are going for now. But that would be the best option if I were you.. your looking for good quality and them Dell LCD's are great! I have a 19" and a 24" Wide screen.

response time is also good.. and they are mostly around 16ms to 12ms which the lower it is the better. Both of mine are at 12ms I think.

Also you want to look at the Ultrasharp versions of them too!

I have that issue. The Viewsonic VP191b took top honors and it's low price is extremely attractive.

$475.99 @ Newegg.

I looked at them view sonics once when I was in the market for my LCD's but for the price and what you get the Dells beat it out..

add a few coupon deals from techbargins or fatwallet and you can get a 20incher for like 400$ thats almost 100$ less than that VS plus the specs are about the same if not better..

Here ya go check out this:

I've looked high and low and couldn't find that issue. Dunno what happened to it. The article doesn't seem to be on the web site either.

I got a set of samsung syncmaster910MP for my gaming rig

now I'm really wanting this
http://digitaltigers.com/tigervista-horizon20s.shtml

or this, but it would hurt the remodeling to much I think.

the
Viewsonic
The one I have

How about the Dell 2005fpw 20" lcd. Its a Benq or a LG philips rebrand, don't remember. But you could get it for 440ish with a coupon and free shipping. Not to mention its a wide screen display.

Dell buys most of their LCD model screens from Samsung....I believe all of their models lately.

Im not sure about everything else but the 2005fpw is a LG Philips panel. Its the same panel Apple uses as well.

LG is big time up and coming in the LCD/Plasma market.

YeOlde...if the Dell is a rebagered Samsung, I think I'll keep an eye out on a huge sale for the Viewsonic VP191b that UOD listed.

Perhaps they still use them on the 20 inchers, haven't been around a 20" model lately to take a look....I just know most of their models have swung to Samsung, as the Dell 24" model is a Samsung, and I read Apples big LCDs are also.

The 2405 is based off the samsung 204t with a few changes (dell brand is improved slightly). The 2005fpw, link above. I haven't heard anything good about other dell lcd's. Then again I have a viewsonic 15" lcd I bough from burke about 2 or 3 years ago and I've had 0 problems

Picked up the same for $ 479.00 to my door. Excellent monitor ! I had to have one with a native resolution of 1600 x 1200.

To me the ms speeds are misleading. Everyone measures the speed different. Go with what looks good to the eye.
