Best $250 19" Monitor

PC Magazine and one of the two major gaming magazines gave rave review/recommendation to the Viewsonic E90F model. This one tops out at 1280x1024, if you want 1600x1200 on a 19" there's the G90F model, basically the same tube with higher resolution. There's a new Samsung model call 997DF, I don't know how good it is but you should check it out as well. Good luck.

I personally have a viewsonic PF790. It is a great monitor with excellent picture & text display quality. In comparsion to my laptop's LCD, text on this monitor is almost as clear.

As far as running 1600x1200, I wouldn't in my opinion.
1) The text will be too small for it to be useful.
2) The PF790 only does 1600x1200@77HZ

I personally prefer to have a CRT running at at least 85Hz or higher, otherwise, I find it very straining on my eyes.

Good luck

All my Samsung flat tubes could be forced beyond 1600x1200 and work at 1920x1440 if you loaded the wrong driver.
