monitor suggestions

Hi---think'n about getting a larger monitor. Now have a 15" ( diag.). Would like say a 22" (diag.) Would help the the POOR eyes!
Would my Del 521 run one? :huh:
Seems like Walmart ( in ship to store--free )has more than NewEgg






Here are some of the brands I saw there, all have: 1680X1050 resolution.

1. SVA ( THE CHEAPEST--$139 )
2. NSUS
3. HP
4. AOC
5. NEC
6. VIEW SONIC
7. ACER

Which are good---which to stay away from? Are there others not listed here that would be good ? ( like $200 or less )



Appreciate any thoughts-----------------------~gunnner

 

I have 3 different Brands,Gunnner.My pick is the 23" ASUS if you can locate one,somewhere. Better paying a little extra and getting Quality.

That is the one, Gunnner. My Wife has that one,with her Computer,and I have the 23".You will be very happy with the ASUS.
I also have a 22"View Sonic, which is also a good brand.I would definately go for the ASUS.

 

Thinkin that might just be a little too big--( wife say's it will block her view out the window)----[attachment=208:2/9/6/7/256.attach]---
so I think I will get:Newegg.com - ASUS MS202N Glossy Piano-Black / White 20" 5ms Ring Stand & Ergo-Fit Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 50000 :1 (ASCR) - LCD Monitors

only $ 149 & free shipping------any one want to talk me out of it ?

With a 22"/23" Monitor you can fit two separate internet pages next to each other nicely, thats why everybody looks at getting 22"+ monitors

 

Good point Match-------as I use 'side by side' quite often---really like it!

OK----Have to re think this some more

THANKS for CHIMIN IN----------------------------gunnner

 

We have suggested 22/23" Monitors for good reason,Gunnner.
In the end,it's your choice to make.
A 23" Monitor has roughly a 20" wide viewing screen.

Santa brought me a second ASUS 23" because I wanted Dual Monitors.
Santa, was good to me, this year.

 

Aaaaaaah----so a computa can run more than 1 monitor at the same time ?-h:-----if so I did not know that.

 

Only if your Computer can support 2 Monitors.
Good Graphics Card is very important.
I run a NVIDIA 9500 GT Card.

 

OK OK OK-------How about this one ????:

Newegg.com - ASUS MS227N Glossy Piano-Black / White 22" 2ms Ring Stand & Ergo-Fit Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 50,000 :1 (ASCR) - LCD Monitors

THANKS-------------------------------gunnner

 

Most newer computers have sufficient graphics to allow for dual monitors but, if I were you I would stick to the large single monitor. Once you have what you want you may want to consider upgrading to Windows7. The snap feature that automatically resizes a window to 1/2 the screen width is great with a large monitor. In fact, it is not to shabby with a good widescreen laptop.

 

That is not a Black/white Monitor shown in the Link,you supplied.Gunnner.
I would find a 2 colour Monitor frame too distracting.
Mine are all Black.
Most are all Black Frames.

 

I read that as a choice between either black or white. The picture doesn't look like it is two toned. But then I would at least ask.

By the way, when I was shopping for a TV I saw two different sets with the same specs and from the same company. I asked the difference and was told that the trend is toward glossy cases as opposed to matte black. In all other respects they were the same. I got the matte one. I am assuming that the same "logic" applies to monitors. It may be worth a trip to one of the bigger outlets to see if there are any bargains.

 

Barry,the ASUS BLACK/WHITE Monitors are a 2 Colour Frame.
I like black Gloss.

 

I will take your word for it. The picture is misleading. Gloss = figerprints. My new laptop has a glossy black case and it drives me crazy each time I close it.

 

Personally I have a acer and love it this is my second one i have owned and never had a problem with them this is what i have Walmart.com: Acer H233H bmid 23" Wide LCD Monitor: Computers ( i got mine at fry's here in Arizona and picked it up for 180 after tax on sale)

It works great my brother had an asus and had to send it back 2 times before he said screw it and bought another one

 

Well looks to me that the front is black & the back is white-----that won't bother me.------SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---IS IT a Good one----good enough size????:huh: The next size up has only a 2 year warintee ----this one has a 3 yr.----------Ya might have to click on the image (side) that shows the ring stand to see .

That's most unusual Patrick.
I did a lot of research on Monitors and 3 large Computer Shops here,told me they have Never had one ASUS come back for any problems whatsoever.

I was waiting for someone to knock ASUS and suggest something else.

 

From what I have worked out and looked at It comes down to three, Acer, Asus & Dell It would also for some strange Reason that 23" Offer Better value, But as to which one would seem to be down to what offers, what store have, at what time.
