[LCD Help] Looking into buying one

[Meshuggah]

hey guys, im lookign for a little bit of help, im interested in buying an LCD with a good resposne time

maybe some like this

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...71547&CatId=170

maybe something with a better, with this kind of response time? ive also never heard of that brand, but looking at the specs, it does sound like a winner....i believe i can spend a little bit more money on one if there is something like this but better....maybe an extra 100 dollars (this is a birthday gift)

anyway, its going to be a primary monitor, used for gaming and moves, surfing, etc....would a monitor with a better contrast ratio/16ms response time be better? or try to find something with a 12 ms and higher contrast ratio? or just something like this but a more reputable brand? (unless this is a reputable brand and i just dont know about them)

anyway guys, i need some help, i dont want to screw this decision up!

any help would be appreciated :D

but it seems he wants 19"... :unsure:

hehe glad you replied, i honestly figured you would....

im not sure about the Dell, yes its extremely badass, but still....it has a 25ms response time right?

the viewsonic does look good, but it has a 16ms response time, a better viewing angle (170 compared to the sceptre 140) and obviously its well known....but still....imho i think the one i found is better...heh

or am i wrong about dell's response time?

The whole reason why the dell is badass is because it has 16ms. it's also 16x12 (true 4:3) 24 bit color.. usb ports etc.. :p

[spacey]

be warned the colours on the viewsonic VP171B and i suspect the VP191B are not that good. search tomshardware about it. something about colour dithering represent the full range which isn't quite as good. i have no idea about the secptre but i have personally owned 5 samsung lcds and i can vouch their colours are very good and response times are good as well. dell lcds i think are made by samsung. samsung is the #1 lcd seller i believe, and for good reason.

ahhhh, so i was wrong about the response time....yea man, definatly, 16ms is good enough, i plan for this to last me a long time.....the splurge though, the splurge......i wonder if i can convince myself.......but man......

this is going to definatly be a hard choice, you love yours right? dont regret it at all??

also, what is dell's dead pixel policy?

dell 2001FP = Ugly.

Spend some more money to buy an Apple 20" display.

Best money you will ever spend.
