New LCD Buying Help!

[vegettoxp]

Hey Guys, I finally did enough Over-Time to get me a New LCD for the system I am building. I know there are a lot of brands out there. I am a person who is not a Hard-Core Gamer, but I do play games. I just wanted to get your guys opinion on which LCD is best for me, With your recommendations I can check out the LCDs and make my decision. Below is the Specs about me.

My budget is between $200 - $350 ($400 Maybe)

Size I am looking at 22" and (Maybe be 24" If the price is right)

Really Good Brand (I do like Samsung and Dell LCDs)

I don't need alot of Ports, Just the Basic Stuff (DVI and whatever else I will get)

So there you have it. This is what I am looking for. If you guys have more recommendations, Please share them with me and Please help me get a really good LCD.

Once Again Thank You for all your help!

P.S. Fusion

SAMSUNG’s 226BW would be my choice from those.

AVOID VIEWSONIC! they suck

either the samsung or the dell i would say

Biscuit I think that might be a little harsh, certain Viewsonics are great purchases, I'm very pleased with my 17" VX model. They also have one of the better policies regarding dead and stuck pixels.

Still if you have had a bad experience with one then that counts for something too

Well eveyone of them i have seen (including the one i own ) has had extremely poor colour reproduction, especially in darker tones. You can always find something much better for around the same price which is why i say AVOID & they suck! I may have just been unlucky & seen all the poor examples though...

What are the prices for these monitors out in the US? Whilst the Dell and Samsung will probably be considered the better devices, I suspect they'll cost a fair bit more than the others. I run a 20" HP LCD at home and absolutely love it. If I could wish for anything, I'd perhaps prefer it to be a little brighter. But apart from that, it really is a pleasure to work with.

Hey Guys, after looking around, I have narrowed my list on my LCD's. Here is the list and tell me what you guys think.

First Choice is - SAMSUNG’s 226BW Or 226CW Widescreen Flat-Panel Monitor (REviews Done Ready to buy)

Second Choice is - ViewSonic's 22" VX2245wm ViewDock™ LCD or ViewSonic's 22" VX2235wm widescreen LCD

Third Choice is - Asus PG221 (I guess it just came out and I don't see the price of this yet. Look Really cool and I know it nothing compared to the samsung 226BW. But I do really like the way it looks and the ADD-Ons.) What's your guys opinion on this Asus PG221 LCD!

THX for all the input!

Hey Guys I have made my FINAL Choice on LCD and I am gona go with the Samsung 226BW. I have read alot of reveiws on it and it is a really good LCD. I only have one question when I buy it either online or instore how do I get The "S" Panel. I have heard a lot about this subject. One of the reviews I read said that make sure you get the "S" Planel and not some other. How do I know which Panel I am getting. So if someone can help me out, I would like to order this LCD ASAP.

I just wanted your guys opinion, Should I get the Samsung 226BW or Wait for the 226CW Model? Any BIG differences between the too?

Once again I wanted to say Thank You for all your guys help.

Hey guys, I just wanted to give you any update on my LCD. I went out to Best Buy any bought the 226CW LCD Model. I guess I was the lucky one because they only had one 226CW Model Left. I can't wait to hook it up and play with it.

Once again, I want to say Thank You for all your Guys Help!

P.S. Fusion!
