17" - 19" LCD Flat Panel w/ DVI <$250 (no rebates)

[BobbyDouglas]

Anyone know of deals this weekend on a 17" or 19" flat panel monitor with DVI?

 

I need something for around $200 (ok so that can't be done, so then $250).

 

I have CompUSA, BestBuy (AHHHHHH!!), Staples, and Fry's Electronics.

 

Any decents deals out their on something less than $250, without rebates?

Does it have to be B&M or can it be online.

[BobbyDouglas]

It can be either.

 

STOP YELLING AT ME!!!!

Ok well if go the rebate route you can get...

19" LCD w/ DVI for $229 3G Technology GM-190B Black 19" $229 AR

 

No Rebate:

Polyview V17E Silver-Black 17" $209

 

more to come.

Both look like great deals! For $229 AR, the seems great, but...

 

Three things that make my stomach upset:

1) "WHEN I PLAY GAMES ITS DELAYS THE PICTURE(GHOST PICTURES)" & "The monitor though is a 25ms response time NOT 15. The response time is 15rise and 10fall, which = 25. So no gaming."

2) Very few reviews, the ratings on the 19" basically are 3/5 stars, which isn't that good.

3) The dead pixel policy: "**Dead Pixels Policy: Replacement or Refund for 8 or more dead pixels only." So I could have 7 dead pixels, and still not be able to get a replacement, that I do NOT like

Well then next time make sure you say you wanted it for gaming... Lets see what else I can find... it may be difficult to find for that price.... lets see what i can whip up.

[BobbyDouglas]

Well its not for gaming, but what happens if I decide to play a movie? It would look horrible!

 

Thanks for checking on this, I haven't been able to find much, which is why I am here.

i dont know how you figured out the response time to 15rise 10 fall...?

 

as for movies... you would be fine....

[BobbyDouglas]

It was in one of the reviews... :/

[Guest beatmix01]

if it was in the newegg review i wouldnt trust it with a grain of salt.

[BobbyDouglas]

Ok, well we decided to go with the 17"

 

Thanks for the help!

[Guest beatmix01]

Glad I could be of service, let me know how it turns out for you.

I am on the lookout for a 19" LCD for gaming. Price range is about $250-$300.

 

I have found the following:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824163129

 

The one for $332 has a lot better specs, but it is a bit more than needs to be spent.

And here is one for a little less with it seems like a decent contrast ratio: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824168005
