Hi all,
I am a new member, and i would have to intruduce my self with a question.
My beloved 19" nec screen died on me 2 days ago. I want to take advantage of the bad situation and upgrade my screen to an LCD.
I been browsing the web for more than 10 hours and I have been to few computer stores in my area (circuit city/Wiz/Comp USA).
Anyway, after reading all reviews i have made up my mind to go and buy the Hitaci screen from monitorsdirect. The only problem is that they are out of stock for the black version. Since my current mouse/keyboard/speakrs are black. I am kinda stuck on having a black monitor. Since from what i read the Planar px171M is similar to the Hitachi, i am considering adding the few extra $$ and getting it instead. I think that 20$ more is worth it (esp. when i am getting a pivot stand, and i read somewhere that it has a better viewing angle).
My question is does the Planar actually exhibit the same abilities the Hitachi does? How is Planar in terms of service? Any one actually compared the two side by side? It is importnat to mention that I usually use my screen for coding/other 2-d application. However, I do play / watch dvd's on my computer....
Sorry for the long post,
I just want to order the damn thing and stop working from my powerbook.
Thanks.
