Which Monitor do you have?
Saturday, July 5, 2003 by Leo the Lion | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I have just replaced my ageing 17 inch Mitsubishi Diamond Pro with a 15 inch Hercules ProphetView LCD. I opted for this model as i found it gave one of the clearest and best quality pictures around compared with all the others i looked at.
So what are you guys running for monitors and what would you recommend for others who are diving into the LCD/TFT market.

Haven't found a Panel Monitor quite this nice at the price range .. sorry.. no point in flat if you can afford something just as nice in display.... oh one day tho.. oh one day ..... then there will something to out-date me again =P

I'm using a Mitsubishi E85LCD right now. But I'll be leaving it behind soon.

Yay, my very first post -
I just graduated from my 19" Dell CRT to the Apple 23" Cinema HD... the biggest payoff by far is in Photoshop - you get to work on EVERYTHING at 200-600 Zoom, which is something i appreciate, and you have TONS of realestate at that zoom level.
Anyways here is some advice for anyone getting a new monitor - id highly reccomend buying any monitor over $600 from a place that sells "extended warranties" such as BestBuy or CompUSA - usually dealing with these "loosers" is a pain in the butt to anyone that knows anythign about a computer, but i have allready traded my $2000 monitor in once - and with the extended warranty it extends the manufacturer's warranty from 1 Year to 2 years, PLUS you dont have to deal with Apple (not sure if dealing with CompUSA is any better tho
). $100 is not much to pay to ensure your investment doesn't bomb out after 90 days
Now if only this big screen would make me instantly l33t like Jairo Boudewyn...

24" Sony GDM-FW900 I love it but it's a beast!! Has to be pushing 100lbs. It'll do until LCD's mature a bit more.. The picture always seems grainy to me. Maybe I'm just imagining that though.

viewsonic superbrite 17" i finally got rid of the old 17" i was using for years, it was getting blurry and gamma just plain sucks 
( in game max brightness, and montior max gamma and brightness and i cant see inside rooms in 1942
Btw viewsonic flat panel superbrite is highly recommanded by me very sharp details, good brightness ( normal ) and amazing brightness at gamer mode.

Philips 15 inch LCD. I got it at Best Buy as a store display model. It didn't have a box so they sold it to me for 200.00 a year ago. Like I needed the box?? I absolutely love it. Before that I had a 19 inch Sony Triniton that was nice but it must have weighed 100 lbs. Too much for me to tote around. Sold it to my ex-landlord for 100.00. He got a heck of a deal because I think I paid close to 650 for it. This Philips is a beautiful monitor but a 19 inch would be better. Don't we always want more??

That is a very sweet monitor. (It's actually 23" I think ... great value though.)

Actually dealing with Apple is far better than CompUSA.
About 2-3 years ago CompUSA had my wife's iMac for 5 weeks and still had not fixed it. I called Apple to complain. Apple sent me a brand new unit and chastised CompUSA for being incompetant.
Guess who I buy my extended service from now? (At least for Apple products?)
