My CRT gave out this past weekend :(

by **Wairudo Enjin** » Thu Oct 26, 2006 4:01 pm

I am planning on getting an LCD this time around.

Does anyone have a good recommendation on a 20"+ Wide Screen LCD?

I was looking at two different Samsungs on NewEgg that are 21" and 22". The 21" looks like it has more features and is more expensive, but the 22" has a faster response time.

:help:

yeah 21 or 22 inch widescreens i see at best buy or circity with 5ms response times for like 4-5 hundo, looks like good deals. If my computer cabinet would fit it i would get one.

Yeah, for gaming, very important, make sure it has a fast pixel refresh time (less than 8ms, lower is better).

It finally gave out under all the abuse?

I have the perfect monitor. it's made by Acer, 5ms refresh, 22". I have to run, but when I get back I'll post a link.

I just bought one for my friend. Total cost about $340 with shipping.

Here's the monitor.
Acer AL2216Wbd

Sorry my last post was so crude, but I had to run. Now about the monitor, I looked at several and after reading the reviews settled on the Acer. I seem to recall some complaints about backlighting bleeding around the edges.. but that may have been the Samsung model I looked at.

I recommend reading the reveiws and making your own decision.

Thanks for the replies everyone!

I ended going with the Samsung 225BW 22"

It has a good price point for the size and excellent speed.
