Need Monitor advice

hi,
I suddenly have a hankering for a 24" monitor, I was with a friend that has one and it was nice.

I have been looking at the Samsungs.

Anyone have any advice as to a good one and where is the best place to pick it up at?

I got my daughter a ViewSonic at Costco for $218. I see it can even be had for less now. Model# VX2433wm

Very happy with it so far.

If your budgeting at $300-$400 I wouldn't settle for a cheap monitor. $300-$400 would net you a 24" nearly as good as a crt.

Welp,
I have been looking at these

»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···24001275

and

»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···24001280

Both are the same $$$ except for the last one has free shipping
otherwise I THINK both are pretty much the same.
It will not be used as a TV at all, strictly for my PC

What ya think?

Buying one because of the name is retarded.

Having said that.. I have this one
»www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a···24236033

Its plug and play and I'm now using it on Windows 7 without any problems.

For the features and price its a awesome deal. I game with it to and no problems.

You can't go wrong with a Samsung or Asus LCD.

I myself have had a T220 NonHD for a good while now, and it's an AMAZING monitor.

that looks like they inflated the price with some extra crap connected to it.

My newest gaming monitor is a Samsung 2253BW LCD picked up from Newegg last summer. I love it, no dead pixels, excellent contrast ratio with very deep and defined black levels along with brilliant colors. No blurring in games such as COD4 and Quake4 and they look stunning in widescreen mode. Movies look very clean and clear. Looking back, I kind of wish I had gone with a 24 inch like you are planning to do. Spend time going through the customer reviews at Newegg for models that fit what you are looking for and you pretty much can't go wrong.

Good luck!

I picked that one over the others (the same brand) because it has the 1920x1200 resolution.

Alot of monitors today have moved toward 1920x1080. I hadn't bought a 24" since I got my dell 2407 in 2006, and I had a hard time finding any at 1920x1200...

My Samsung 226BW just died, so I ran over Best Buy and bought a ASUS VH232 for 209.00.
So far so good.

??

Actually 1920x1200 monitors are usually no more expensive then 1920x1080. The real reason why monitors are going the 1920x1080 route is because of hdmi and 1080 being the broadcast/bluray standard.
