Ok tell me who makes a good 17" monitor for between 170-250

Just what the subject says. :) and i don't want a 19" or a 21" just yet i don't have a need for it.

I'd go with something like a viewsonic. They have nice moniters for the price your looking at! Check out pricewatch for some good deals. Shipping might be kinda expensive though so you might head down to your local Best Buy and pick one up. They should have Viewsonics to.

so one guy on this board uses a monitor :D ?? come on guys i would like to have a wide array of choices here!!

i'd strongly suggest a 17" KDS Avitron monitor. It was rated the best monitor of the year in 2000(or maybe 99 .... i dont remember xactly) by PC World.

I've been using the KDS 17" for almost 2 years now. I've had NO problems at all. It's still as good as new (even after heavy use).

It goes for less than $250

Samsung Syncmaster 753df. Samsung has always made very good monitors with good warrantys.

KDS has a great warranty too...

I agree with everyone else I have a Samsung 753DF on my computer and a KDS 17in on my son's computer. Happy with both of them.

AOC 7GLR ($250 CDN). Have put many of these into systems and never had a problem.

I see that Best Buy has the Samsung 753df for 179.00 after rebate. Very good price.

CRX_SOON: you will find that when you and your computer become one that you will no longer need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse................:D

Seriously, I went by BESTBUY friday and checked out the Samsung 753df. It's a nice monitor. Also check out the Viewsonic, which is what I use.

The Samsung 753. Its the best deal for your money.

I have 3 17" monitors, optiquest Q71, NEC multisync75 and Acerview. I am pretty satisfied with the optiquest and NEC but the Acer one developed problems right after the warranty expires.
I was told by the technician that Samsung is good if they are using a Japanese tube. I heard horrifying stories about sony.

The SyncMaster 753 Dyna Flat series from Samsung has one of the lowest horizontal dot pitch among 17" flat monitors, at .20 mm. So you get better images with this specification.

Its really a great value for your money. I never regretted purchasing it over the Viewsonic E70F.

VIEWSONIC!

I do not think dot pitch is an accurate measure of how good a monitor is because of different grille designs. Personally, I can never tell the difference between 0.27 and 0.25 dot pitch.

There's a Princeton 17" (.27 pitch) at www.tccomputers.com for about $140 (not including shipping).

There really is no accurate measurement on which monitor is the best because it will all come out on individual taste, opinions, and personal preference.

So between a .20 and a .25 dot pitch, my PREFERENCE is, based on MY OWN OPINION, as it conforms to my OWN INDIVIDUAL TASTE, a .20 dot pitch against a .25 or a .27 dot pitch, whether it is on shadow mask or aperture grille technology.

KDS dose make great monitors. I you are your trying to keep the price closer to $170, KDS makes an X-Flat Seires. They are a really good mointor for the price.

Sorry for the late reply.
I agree with Richard_Cranium's reply leading you to Dell. Check
their site daily.They just had a one-day 20% off peripherals sale
on 10/17. Plus free UPS Ground shipping.
I believe the Samsung 753DF also carries a $40 Mfr. rebate, but
am unsure when it expires.
I buy all monitors from Dell, given the above. Occasionally, I can
find an additional $30 on-line discount code, making the whole
deal really sweet,(and my credit cards on the verge of melt-down)

Check www.slickdeals.net - that's how I become aware of the
Dell sales.

I was also surprised at the variety of brands that are offered by
Dell - not just "Dell-branded" peripherals. Hope this helps.
