19" Monitor

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

I want to upgrade from my crt to an lcd. Im looking for a 19" regular not widescreen black monitor possibly with both D-sub and DVI. Im not a gamer so I dont need anything with real high specs, but I do photo edit and design web sites. Trying to stay at 200.00US or under.
Can you all give me some good options?

Random Murderer · Oct 6, 2007

Try this.
And welcome to the forums.

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

glad to be here, thanks. That is the one I have been looking at, seems to be the best choice for what I want and I guess since your the first response and it happened to be the one i've been looking at, then thats my choice. thanks RM

with no difference in price between the 19" and the 20" and the 21" and the 22" monitors are just a few dollars more so to be honest the differences between a 19" and a 22" are small so i would look at.

for a 19" i like this one:

Hanns·G JW-199DPB Black 19" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1 Built in Speakers - Retail $159
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824254009

for a 22" i like this one it fits your budget and is a great deal with the rebate:

Hanns·G HG-216DPO Silver/Black 22"(21.6" viewable area) 5ms Widescreen HDMI LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 Built in Speakers - Retail $239 with $40 mail in rebate = $199

hey, thanks. just not sure that I want a wide screen right now, I dont know why. but those are good choices and i've noticed that there are more choices in widescreen than regular, and for the same price or sometimes less. How about this one?

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

I do like your first choice suraswami, and Acer is a good brand. But im trying to steer clear of the widescreens for now

Random Murderer · Oct 6, 2007

suraswami, are you saying hanns g isn't a good brand?

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

are there any down sides to using a widescreen? I've never used a widescreen so what I mean is, lets say im on this site, am I going to have the same view I have now or because on a widescreen the height is more narrow will I have to scroll more to see everything?
Hope that isnt a dumb question.

well hanns g is an exelent brand, very good quality and for $20 more you get an extra 3"of screen getting the 22" model but you do have to wait on that $40 mail in rebate so either hanns g you pick you will get a solid top quality and reliable monitor, if it were me i would go for the 22" for $199

Bottom left to top right. With LCD's you actualy get 20" but with CRT there's about 1/2 inch behind the plastic front and some times more.

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

thought so

it looks like you could go as big as 24" monitor with that desk but it would be tight.

the 22" would fit nicely in it

if you havent bought the desk yet check this price out: http://www.shopmainstreetonline.com/product_info.php?products_id=7425&shopcom

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

WOW! thats a good price, thanks. now I need to find out how much shipping is. The othr site I use has free shipping, this one could come out to about the same with the oversized shipping. but thanks

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

$61.13 for shipping, so that is about $33.00 cheaper. Nice find keakar.

i just copied the description header that has the model number and googled it with best price added to it.
(Bestar Legend 56430 Corner Computer Work Station best price)

you might want to do the same if this doesnt work out. never know where a deal is hiding. :toast:

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

I did, and that is the best deal for that desk. Monitor area is 19-5/8" wide and 20-1/2" in height.

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

you might have just talked me into getting a wide screen :toast:

wide screens are nice for stuff like photoshop and visual basic, but you need at least a 20" if you're taking the wide screen route and you want the height to be comparable to a 19" regular screen.

mdashoot · Oct 6, 2007

ok, how do I compare the height to a 19" regular? Viewable area?

on newegg you can just look at the dimensions on the specifications tab. on other websites you may need to do a little research. if all else fails, use math:
number of vertical pixels X pixel pitch = screen height.
the same goes for width. please keep in mind this is for calculating the actual screen size, not overall size including bezel. JUST the lcd.
