brian Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Hi All: I am looking to get a gd LCD monitor around $200 -250. What wd be a good buy. Please advice. Thanks Brian.
mrn8 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 What size monitor are you looking for? Do you have a DVI video card? Are you going to use it for basic computer (internet, email, word processing) or for games and movies?
mrn8 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 17" Viewsonic Q7B for $214.98 shipped from Newegg.
brian Posted January 9, 2006 Author Posted January 9, 2006 Hi All: Thanks for the reply. BTW..what is a dvi? I am sorry i did not know that. I want to watch sme streaming online games n the LCD. I am looking for a 19" Inch. Please advise. Thanks Brian
mrn8 Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 DVI is a digital video inteface - usually, that will be a white connector on the video card, rather than blue. Some have both.
RossMAN Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 $250 for a 19" LCD is pushing it. Unless you go with an off name brand, you probably won't get a nice Samsung 19" with DVI and 3 year warranty.
brian Posted January 9, 2006 Author Posted January 9, 2006 Rossman: Happy new year.. Sorry, that is where i started and could extend it for a good product. Any recommendations? Best Regards Brian
thechef71 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 I've got an Acer 19 inch lcd it's pretty decent but no dvi. I think it's going for slightly less than 250 at newegg now. It's not as good as samsung though.
psiu Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Dell Analog 19" LCD for 279.20 right now. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?sku=E1963YR&c=us&cat=snp&category_id=211&cs=19&l=en&Page=productlisting.aspx If you could stack it with a coupon off of ebay that would be a great deal, although someone with more experience with this should chime in if they know if that would work or not.
mrn8 Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 Acer AL1914B - 19" LCD, 12ms refresh, 1280x1024 native resolution That's a pretty decent monitor for the price.
BobbyDouglas Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 For an extra $10 you can get 2nd day shipping if you buy here. Either way is a good buy. If you can wait a month or so, you might be able to save another $20-$30. Here is a pretty good one for $220 after $30 MIR: Rosewill R911E 12ms Black 19" 12ms LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 500:1 Built in Speakers 0.294mm Pixel Pitch - Retail
brian Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 what about this? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1561114&CatId=170&SRCCODE=WEBGOOMON&CMP=KNC-GOOGL Thanks Brian
brian Posted January 12, 2006 Author Posted January 12, 2006 one more... http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11104101&whse=BC&topnav=&browse= Thanks Brian.
mrn8 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Go with the Costco one. I didn't get the link from Tiger Direct to work, but they are notorious for not fulfilling warranties. The Sceptre monitor at Costco has gotten some good reviews from games, and Costco is a trustworthy company to buy from.
brian Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 OK. I almst decided on the sceptre before i ran into this one today http://www.buy.com/prod/viewsonic_19_widescreen_lcd_8m_video_respose_integrated_vga_speakers/q/loc//PageFormat/40/imgNum/1/202066865.html#moreimg Can i apply any cupons on this? I am firsttimer with buy.com and also is this LCD monitor good? Thanks Brian.
mrn8 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 If you are choosing between the Sceptre and the Viewsonic, go with the Viewsonic. It has a higher resolution and has analog and DVI connectors. You can use the $15 off $200 code for new buy.com customers by clicking on this link.
RossMAN Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Brian, I would buy the Viewsonic @ Buy.comhttp://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=28144 You can find all the Buy.com coupons here:http://www.gottadeal.com/Coupons/Store/buy
brian Posted January 13, 2006 Author Posted January 13, 2006 Rossman et all THanks so much. I am going with the viewsonic. Do i need any special graphice card for this r just normal plug and play? I have a Dell P4 with XP. THanks again Brian.
RossMAN Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 You can just plug it in and it will work. However for optimal picture quality you should connect it via DVI. Your video card needs to support DVI. Look on Dell.com lookup your Dell service code, it should show if your PC came with DVI or not. You can always buy a video card with DVI from newegg.com for around $60 shipped.
erica Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 You can use the $15 off $200 code for new buy.com customers by clicking on this link.You can get $25 off also if you apply for buy.com credit card.
