Help me decide on a LCD (19")

Well tomorrow i was going to go out and buy a samsung 19" lcd the 915n modle 800:1, 8ms response, but only anolog that was the only problem i had with it. it retails for 549+tax(canadian)

so i decided to look around and i came across a couple fs adds around me one

19" benq fp931 for $375, 16ms response, comes digital and anolog, 450:1

and

Dell E193FP for $475 again 16ms response, 500:1

i'm so thrown for all of those.... i sorta wanted dvi, i dont really know how the diffrent contrast ratios will come into play
16ms doesnt really worry me to much as i have moved on to MMOPG games not as fast as fps. but i still want a nice picture.

i'm not to sure about colors i'm trying to learn about monitors at the same time some are 16.2 others are 16.7 million... is that THAT big of a diffrence..

anyways any advice would be great guys thanks

if i were you i'll pick the first choice

(correct spec)

the rest will hurt your eyes after a couple of weeks

:t

Most important thing to look for in LCD is the response time

the lower the better

then make sure there are no DEAD PIXELS!

a couple of really good ones reviewd here...

I thinks these are about the best 19" on the go at the moment...after reading it I felt like buying one myself:D

i just found a 2005fp dell(20" wide screen) for the same price. dell canada, not sure if the us had this, had a 10 day blow out sale they were selling these for 599. someone who bought one might not want it and i may go buy it from him.

i hear the resis really odd though, like 1608x12(something weird again) and ati doesnt support the res, but if i get the omega drivers i'm fine.

that has dvi, and i hear the screen is amazing(supose to be the same as the apple but again this is only info i read i havent seen one of these)

so that in consiteration i might try this 20" if the guy selling it ever gets back to me >:)

what about the Response time? :confused:

yeah and it's a ****ty to have such a bad resolution, you will have lots of nasty views with it

programs, games, movies, will look absolutely horrible in it
:rolleyes:

its a 16ms response... but like i said ive sorta moved to MMOPG and i was using my roomates new samsung with a 20ms resonse and it wasnt so bad....

i figure the way around the crappy veiws in game, is i already play WoW(my mmopg) in window mode, so that should solve that problem... i'm still undecided i guess this has all made me slow down and maybe wait a couple more days to see what comes up.

again all the info is great guys everything you say makes me think about my "big" purchase... maybe i should go 19" ctr, and get anohter hard drive and go to 2 gig ram, hehehe :P

lol :p that might be a wiser choice :D

nah.. but if you can really get that 8ms 19" LCD then i'll go for it

I like my Samsung SyncMaster 191T 19" LCD alot. :D

I have had it for about 2 years now with no issues at all.

Have it hooked up DVI.

OMG!!!!!! did you see the news above?

http://www.sysopt.com/news.html#1111005305

new LCD with 5ms response time!!!! :D

finally some decent gaming LCD

now i'll seriously consider buying one, gotta test it first to make sure i like it :)

OMG!!!!!!!!! :eek:

I just read it....:D

The contrast ratio isn't great though at 500:1....:(

wow.... nice

just an update... i'm very tempted atm to buy a 24" dell... dont know why but i think that would be awsome, 12ms response.... eveytime i think about what i should get i end up wanting something bigger :(

you are crazy, wasting your money like that

just stay with the 19" 8ms one that you mentioned

everything else is garbage :x

Besides if you really want BIG

then you should go for a Projector instead of the LCD

aim at any big large wall, and you will have the nicest sharpest and fastest gaming rig ever :t
