gonna buy a flat panel need some help

[hoodedrat]

alright guys I've got 300 dollars I'm going to buy a 15 inch flat panel from newegg.com and I need to know what the best buy is going to be if anybody can help me please post replies

$300 can only afford you a Low Quality LCD

are you sure you want a LCD?

why not get a good 19" Flat CRT for the same price?

if you want a good LCD I would go with a Samsung 171 MP.
But then again it`s 750$ here in US....

so you may want to put some money away instead of buying a15 LCD low quality, like Allgamer said.


Why not a NEC Fe99xx for 300$??

i love mine.

[mrt1212]

does quality really matter when all you are doing is running audio programs?

[hoodedrat]

i've already got a nice 19 inch crt but i want a flat panel for taking to lan parties and stuff cuz luggin the 19 around is gettin to be a pain

[AllGamer]

KMart and WalMart has some Samsung(i think) for $300 something

15" bug as i said quality is ..... lets just say, it leaves a lot do desire off.

so yeah you get your mediocre views, and stuff, but that's about it

you get for what you paid for

Unfortunately, $300 will only get you an entry-level LCD at best. I'd go for a nice flat-screen CRT monitor. You can get nice KDS 17" ones from Wal-Mart for less than that.

[AllGamer]

but he wants something Portable for LAN parties

[sm8000]

I know, I read that. Thanks for the tip . A 17" one won't be as bad to lug around now and again though.

[hoodedrat]

I hate flat panels for thier price and poor quality compared to CRT. But the reason above is a **** good reason to purchase a flat pannel as a second monitor if you attend lan parties a lot.

[hoodedrat]

yeah I constantly lan and I'm sick of carrying this thing around, even with the xbag its still a pain in the ***, i want a 15 inch flat panel for carrying around to them lans, I prolly wont even use it at home

[Rocketmech]

Since your going to use it for gaming , you need to keep"response time" or "pixel-response rate" in consideration.
The KDS 15" Rad-5 boasts 25ms, ViewSonic VE 155 , is 30ms . The Samsung 151S , which I think has the brightest screen , is 30ms .

[AllGamer]

RocketMatch has a good point

and that's Exactely why i don't like LCD much

cuz it feels... Sluggggish

due the slow optical responsetime

so if you can find a fast one, it should not be too bad

OH make sure that it has at least a refresh rate of 70 Hz and higher

some cheapo LCD can not change Hz

and for PICKY people like me anything on the 60 Hz range hurts the eyes

[hoodedrat]

yah i've gotten used to this 85 hz and when i see anything under it my eyes hurt too, I think I'm just going to go ahead and get a viewsonic because a friend has a 17 inch and its pretty good so i might as well get that brand
