| Hey all, Long time no see. I was wondering if you could help me help a friend. She is looking to buy her boyfriend a new LCD for Christmas, and as some of you may have noticed .......... I have been out of the tech loop the past 6 months or so. He is a gamer, and she (read I) would like the following specs: Good brand with reliability and warranty 19" LCD 500:1 Contrast ratio Decent response time Black or silver in colour under $600 CDN ($515 USD) Most importantly, I want something you guys have used with good results. I was looking at the Viewsonic VX924 It has a very strong rating out of 250 user reviews on newegg, and I can get it for $450 CDN locally. Any other thoughts? Thanks all. Put | ||

| Apex Tech Fanatic | I completely forget whether Dell Canada has the awesome coupons the US site has had. I've seen the fpw2005, and and (20" fpw, forgot the model) and I would easily reccommend these, if a discount were available. Then again, I rarely notice any ghosting on any LCDs, only on a handful of notebooks. | |

| The Philips 190B6CB (black) or 190B6CBs (silver) are SWEET monitors - have one at work and 2 x 17" ones at home - their zero dead pixel policy is the best out there - no dead pixels, no stupid rules and stuff about 8cm squares etc to deal with. 8ms response - which is sweet for the games I've tried. Also, check out the viewsonic monitors too - they have a REALLY good 19" one that hits 4ms - the VX924 (should be getting an evaluation one in a few weeks to look at) I believe toms hardware rated it highly ![]() | ||
