I'm jealous. That thing must have cost you a fortune. On Wed, 29 Mar 2000 17:27:22 GMT, [email hidden] (Devon) wrote:

Hello, I agree. Anything with a Sony tube will be good if not excellent. I would personally go for a flat tube. My primary monitor is a Samsung NF90. It is perfectly flat. My secondary monitor is a Mag DX700t which uses a Sony tube. It is not that great though. I am surprised though because Sony tubes are usually very good. Make sure you get a monitor with pin balance, etc. Raymond www.act-labs.com On Wed, 29 Mar 2000 10:34:23 -0500, "Jeff Murchison JR" <[email hidden]> wrote:

The OEM Dell branded Trinitron is an absolutely superb monitor. Our company use these exclusively and they are the best monitors I have ever used. ...Colin Jeff Flechsing <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PTgE4.145$[email hidden]... > What is the best 19" monitor for the money? > >

I'm real pleased with my KDS 19" with the Trinitron tube. I think it was around $420. It even seemed to help my frame rate, let alone look a heck of allot sharper. Found mine at Best Buys. JD Jeff Flechsing wrote in message ... >What is the best 19" monitor for the money? > >

Viewsonic PS790 here. Smooth and crisp picture. $575 at Comp USA about 6 months ago. "Jim Dombrowski" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1MnE4.23615$[email hidden]...

I'm using an older Viewsonic 21, but a Panasonic 19" got very high ratings a couple months ago. So did a KDS for around $349. But I think they each have a couple models in that size and I don't remember the model numbers. Check some reviews.

My Mitsubishi DiamondPro 900u (19", flatscreen, aperture grill) looks great. When it comes to non-CAD/CAM graphics display, it is simply stunning. For games, imaging and DVDs I really prefer aperture grill flatscreen monitors- and even for text and detail work so long as you avoid the highest few res modes where dot mask monitors, for those tasks, really do seem to work out better, on average.

Hitachi SuperScan 769 19", 0.22mm dot pitch, 1600x1200 @ 85hz is my usual desktop resolution is very, very crisp, far crisper than the 21" I use at work at 1600x1200. It's not quite flat panel. It's a couple of inches shallower than most 19" and even some 17", so it fits on the desk really well. Has more image controls than I can use. $590ish last time i looked. It's great for running GPL and UT at 1280x1024, nice large screen area to give a better immersion factor. Grant.

There are two flavours: Aperture Grille & Shadow Mask If your purpose in mainly gaming. I recommend an Aperture Grille monitor such as Sony G400. If not, you'd better stay with Shadow Mask. Just get one with good Hitachi tube. I personally cannot put up with those dumping wires. So, I got myself an Iiyama VM450. Nice monitor for all purpose. Also, when going higher resolution, you may want to consider a good 2D card to get the most out of it. Also, a BNC cable greatly improves the 2D quality. Good luck.
