Hello All!

I have another question for you all and its about 19 inch LCD!

Best Buy in my area is now carrying the NEC, finally! Anyway I went down there to possibly buy one however I noticed this LG monitor right next to it. I think I liked the LG better because there was no glossy screen like there was with the NEC that was using their OptiClear cover or film over the screen. The stats that I have below are from the Best Buy web sight. Has anyone else out there seen this LG monitor or better does anyone out the have one? Please check out the stats and let me know what you all think.

Good to here from you all.

All the best. Sandman

If you narrowed it down to these two I'd go with the LG b/c of the higher contrat and faster response times. If you don't mind getting something else, go with a widescreen monitor, or one that could do more than 1280x1024.

Anybody know who is making the LG monitor? It may be samsung, in which case I would reccomend it.

Hard to say without knowing somebody that owns it or at least knowing who made it for LG
