Hey guys, I love my Acer 22" widescreen, it's been amazing to say the least. The Acer 19" widescreen LCD I had before that (currently the fiance's) has also been great and dependable. But she has decided she wants a larger monitor. So this is my time to make a small upgrade....now I'm on a tight budget, preferrably 200 or less. I have considered getting another 22", but I wouldn't mind having a monitor capable of higher resolutions though. So I want some input about the 23" LCD's out there, they seem to have a decent value, I paid 199.99 shipped for my current 22" a long time ago, it has a native resolution of 1680x1050, which has been pretty decent for gaming imo.
These 23" LCD's have a native res of 1920x1080, which is cool for the HD viewing abilities my current monitor doesn't have, I'm just hoping the resolution doesn't kill the font size too horridly. I'm also hoping my GTX260 will handle it just fine..1680x1050 has been a breeze for it, but I'm sure there would be a few less games I could play while folding at that resolution.
So if you have a suggestion, please post up some links. I prefer Acer mostly due to the fact, 2-for-2 have had no dead pixels, issues, failures, etc. I would be using DVI, so nothing crazy there.
Here are some I am currently viewing, I would like to make a decision soon, so please post up some recommendations, atm I'm looking at the Acer X233Hbid, it's 189.99 shipped, looks decent...though the Acer H233Hbmid looks good, but is a tad overbudget at 209.99 shipped...and I'm not sure what the true differences are. So I'm hoping to gain some insight from users using these and larger, and possibly some more info for a better educated decision. I've been reading a lot of articles and such...now I want some consumer suggestions.
Here's the 3 I'm looking at on newegg:
