I need a new LCD monitor for a second computer. I do not understand the technical ascpects of monitors (8bit vs 6bit, VA panel vs XYZ panel). I just want a good all-around monitor. Listed below are my needs in order of importance.
1. 19 inch. DVI input. 1280x1024. (higher resolutions make text hard to read).
2. Price (I will not spend more than $400, and I would like to spend less)
3. Easy to read text (I mostly use my computer to surf the internet, check mail, type papers, excel)
4. Color/Brightness (I would like the monitor to have uniform, bright, and vibrant colors. However, I don't do any significant photo editing, and I probably wouldn't notice the difference between good and bad color.)
5. Gaming (I don't game a lot, but it would be great if my new monitor was at least as good as my current monitor. I haven't ever noticed "ghosting" on my current monitor.)
I currently have a ViewSonic VP912b. I have had this monitor for 2 or 3 years. I have been happy with this monitor, but I am sure there are newer and better monitors now. I'm not real picky and most monitors would probably make me happy. I just want a few recommendations to help point me in the right direction.
Thanks
