I agree. Definitely read reviews on any monitor before you buy. The first LCD my family bought was awful. The color/contrast was so bad that you couldn't tell the difference between very light colors and white...

I would suggest a higher quality 17" over a 19", because they have the same resolution. However, if you don't have very good eyes you might want a bigger one so that the pixels are bigger at the same resolution.

So Im still using CRT, I never paid or wanted to for a new monitor, this one was fine. But now, one of the backlights is out, I have to turn it on and off 20 to 30 times before its bright. Right now, its been an Hour, Ive been leaving it on lately, so I dont have to go through this, but my fuckn brother turned it off now it wont go bright anymore. Im buying an LCD, Im tired of this fuckin shit, Ive got about $150 I wanna spend and I want close to 19", is that impossible still or is it easier now? I looked at Pricewatch but I want it asap, anyone know any deals? Im in Houston.

My TV is the win:

26" LG HD LCD TV.


And why not get an LCD for gaming D34DC311?


Mine works great and has an 8ms refresh rate.

Ok, when I say gaming, I mean CS-CoD2 ect. or Hard core FPS games.
If you dont spend the mulla on a high end LCD, your gonna be pissed.

CRT FTW.

Or wait until OLEDs come out.

You're right, although there are some pretty quick LCD's that are getting pretty cheap now. Anything in the 4-8ms range is pretty decent for gaming. I :love: my 4ms. :)
