Hey guys,

Anyone know of any deals or any recommendations for a LCD monitor, still can't decide if i really want to buy a regular 19' monitor or a widescreen.

Thx guys

The big question is what do you want it for? Plan to do any gaming or fast action tasks (possibly movies, not sure) that will need a good response time?

I play some games so I recently bought a ViewSonic VX922 19" LCD with a 2 ms response time. Looks great in games and I'm very happy with it. Not exactly a deal at $290 plus tax though.

Does this screen have hook up for just DVI? or the old vga cable as well?

I PM'd staples and got it down to 250 with coupons. They charge you 15 bucks for shipping though.

I used the 10 and 30 off.

It's not cause the store you pm does not offer next day shipping. That's what they said.

Plus they usually charge you shipping, Canadacomputers etc.

The BenQ FP93G monitor is nice. I believe it was the first 19" LCD monitor to go below $260 (taxes included).

I got one a few months ago for $255 (taxes included). I would like to play console games on it but I don't have one of those component->VGA adapters.

BenQ FP93G specs:
VGA + DVI-D input
6ms response
300 cd/m2 brightness
700:1 contrast
4:3 ratio (1280 x 1024)
