Best LCD Manufacturers?

Well... I junked my old Dell CRT Monitor a few months ago and I want to purchase an LCD Monitor... Either 17" or 19" and spend in the $200-300 price range (including tax & shipping)... This monitor will be used predominantly for everyday internet usage... I do not game much and do not use any advanced graphics programs nor watch movies on my computer....

At first I was just going to try to find a Dell Ultrasharp but I was perusing www.Newegg.com 's website and was viewing some of their monitors... Does NEC make reputable LCD's????

I found these 2 that interested me:

NEC LCD175VX-BK Black 17" 8ms DVI LCD Monitor 270 cd/m2 500:1

NEC Display Solutions 1940CX-BK Black 19" 8ms LCD Monitor 270 cd/m2 550:1

Any feedback is greatly appreciated...

 

The NEC's are pretty good - we have several at work - detail and focus are sharp, easy to read text and web pages. One is used for Autocad drawings - the user likes it.

 

One of the best buys out there, and then some,

CTL is good http://www.ctlmonitors.com/v2/default.aspx and their not as expensive as other brands i should know i own a ctl 17" lcd monitor.

 

Thx guys...

anyone else have anything to offer?

 

If you are willing to buy a generic brand Chimei has a 22' inch lcd for $340 and my buddy plays games and everything on it and hasn't experienced any dead pixels or ghosting and he's had it for about for about 4 months. check it out on newegg.com. I plan on buying one with my new build.

 

I can also recommend NEC monitors. They are some of the best, IMO. However, I have the Dell 20" widescreen LCD and absolutely love it... You can get one now for $289 and it would be the one I recommend in that price range:

Or if you want to save a little bit you could go with a 19" for $191:

I Bought the Samsung Sync Master 931b. $230.00 19 inch been a very nice monitor .

 

I also have an NEC. It's a 17" MultiSync 1760V. I've had it about 2 1/2 years. It's been a great monitor. It was a bit pricey at the time but I'm sure prices have dropped considerably since then.

Update:

The Dell 20" Widescreen Monitor is now $230 and I don't think you'll get a better monitor for that price...

I am also looking at the Dell Monitors....

Dell UltraSharp 19"




What's the warranty like on the NEC monitors? I know Dell offers 3 years...

 

i cant recomend models but some good manufacturers to try are
Veiw sonic
Sony
Acer
NEC
Samsung
LG

 

Both the ones that you linked to have 3-year warranties.

 

I've had my NEC MultiSync LCD 1530v for about 5 years, never had a problem with it. Picture is as sharp as the day I bought it.

Hi:

I've been using these for a while:

2 x Samsung SyncMaster 213T Black 21.3" TFT DV-I @ 1600x1200 60Hz native.

With an ATI Radeon X1800XT 512MB PCI-E Dual DVI OUT.
Athlon 64 X2 4800+ Dual Core S939 Toledo
2GB (Corsair XMS-3500LL PRO 2GB kit) PC3500 CL2/1T
etc

Excellent in all aspects.
I was used to the highest end Viewsonic CRTs previously.
I will never go back to CRTs.
The next time I shop for monitors, Samsung will be at the top of my list.

Happy trailz,

 

i suggest to try tigerdirect. they have nice monitors for cheap
you can get a new, nice 19" widescreen for 189$ or so... very nice price, ive got one myself.
