I'm upgrading monitors from my Viewsonic 17" LCD that has served me so well for several years. The monitor I buy will either be a 20" or 22" widescreen; right now I'm leaning more toward 20" due to its lower cost and the fact that I really won't need that big of a screen.
I'd appreciate any recommendations based on your good or bad experiences with various displays.
Edit: Here are three I'm considering; does anyone have experience with them?
none of those. Samsung 2253BW is affordable, looks sexy, and has a magnificent picture. With a 8000:1 contrast ratio and 2ms response time, it's great for gaming to movies to looking at photos. I'm typing on one right now.
With the exception of the fact that the contrast is not actually 8000:1... That is the "dynamic contrast" which is not the actual contrast. Its pretty much marketing BS, the real contrast is probably closer to 1000:1. I would still go with the samsung though, they make great LCD monitors. LG is good too if you wanted something different.
if u want to shave off a few dozen bucks. get the Samsung 2053BW, its specs are the same except its a 20" instead of a 22" monitor. dot pitch will be different too.
