New LCD monitor
 

Hey all,

I am looking at replacing my 19" Sony crt with a new 19" lcd ( tft?)
monitor.

Seems like I recall someone in here mentioning good things about this
monitor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824179014

Would appreciate any advice.


Thanks,

Which ever one you finally decide to get, make sure it has a stable platform
and preferably not on the same table as your steering wheel ! The stands on
these LCD's are usually pretty flimsy so, if I were you, get a sturdy
extension arm thingy that attaches to the wall and then it won't be affected
by any crazy driving ;)
I nearly lost my new monitor after a brutal session of Nascar Legends the
other day. (don't ask, I just love those cars)

I have that monitor and love it.No ghosting at all,and the stand feels
sturdy no problems in that area.Think they're on sale now too :)

Don,

I've been very happy with my Dell 2001FP. It is fast enough for all the
games I play and there have been very good deals and coupons lately. See
http://www.techbargains.com and AnandTech hot deals forum:

There are also a bunch of review at Anand Tech:

Yep. I got one. Looks like you are catching it on the 'down-swing' of the
pricing pendulum too. Trust me, it varies. A lot :)

No bad pixels, works great it games, bright as hell (get the NEC Brightness
Control doohicky so you can have it set for 3d and 2d and not have to fiddle
with it).

It's not a great off-center LCD, so it's not great for large audiences
watching movies.

You'll have to provide your own pivot software if you use that feature.

No complaints or issues here.

I've had no such issues here, but then again I don't use a TV Tray as a desk
:)

Looks like a good one to get, thanks for the info!!

Now I just gotta convince myself to part with the money.

I agree this is a very good monitor if you're interested in a 20" and
1600x1200 native res. And at that native resolution, GTR, F1C and F4AF look
great.

I would love to get a LCD panel to save space, but how do you all deal with
the pathetic views in non-native resolution? I can't even run all my racing
sims in one resolution let alone desktop apps as well! I haven't seen an
LCD panel yet that doesn't look like **** when it is outside its native
range. Am I missing something?

At least the response rates are now coming down to acceptable (4 to 8 ms) if
you are willing to spend $$$, but I still don't get how to resolve the
resolution quandary.

My monitor's native res is 1280x1024, and that's where I run all my
games as well...
