What is a durable brand out there. I keep hearing about dead pixels on them and well, I don't want that. I want to get around a 19" or 20".

It worries me that they don't list a response time...
anyway this is ~$70 less and has the same specs.
As far as burned out pixels go, you're thinking of earlier LCD panels. Nowadays their durability rivals that of good CRT's.
Samsung, Sony, and Westinghouse are all very good brands in my experience. Maradon! fucked around with this message on 10-03-2006 at 03:01 AM.

When you're talking about a LCD screen there are many different ways to measure the response time. There is the time it takes to go from black to color, from color to color, and from color to black. Most of the screens out there that you see saying 2-5 ms response time are only taking about the color to color, the time when reponse time has the smallest effect on visibility. Black to color and color to black is when you see the most ghosting.
It's the average of these three numbers that you want to look at, and dell, along with a few other OEMs, are the only people who actually report that.
16ms response time is enough for a 62.5 hz refresh rate, which is perfectly fine.
Also, I've got the samsung 205BW on my work computer and a dell 2005FPW (the previous model of that linked Dell) on my home computer, and the Dell is a much much nicer moniter. I'd pay 70 bucks extra for the better construction alone. Blindy. fucked around with this message on 10-03-2006 at 08:41 AM.

I use the 24" Dell widescreen, it's fucking awesome. While that's larger than what you want, I just have to give Dell a big thumbs up, they make superb monitors. .
You sure Dell makes them and that they are not just rebranded? In the past Samsung, Hitachi and Sony have been their vendors. I like my
HP f2105. it cost me $400.00 awhile back and is likly less now.

Viewsonic makes exceptionally nice monitors.
I would've thought the same thing but for the fact mine spontaneously died after oozing some blue shit out the side.
If you have patience Dell will throw out some very nice deals every so often. If you are a goon, keep an eye on the Deals forum. Will usually show up in there.

I might recommend instead a Samsung 205Bw, as it has HDCP that I believe the 2007FPW lacks.
e: Oh you already orded... well best of luck... usually the Dells go down a bit lower in price if you get them at the right point in the cycle. They're very nice monitors. Noxhil2 fucked around with this message on 10-04-2006 at 01:47 AM.

I didn't want to shell out 100 Euros more just for a widescreen. Can't see any advantage yet.
I've noticed a big advantage when watching either DVD's or other formats filmed in widescreen, such as Stargate SG-1.
I can watch two lesbian porn movies at the same time. It's win-win.

I don't even watch movies on my TV anymore since I got the widescreen monitor for my computer.

Go viewsonic or dell or samsung. Sonys are nice too but cost too much for what you get.
Optiquest is actualy viewsonic if you see one.

Delidgamond must think they're pretty smart:
I changed my resolution to 1680x1050 and omg. My WoW video settings are huge. Now when my mobo, processor and video card come in I can turn everything on high and it won't look like ass like it does now!
Isn't it awesome? So much usable space. Step 2 is to reduce your UI scale so you have a fuck ton of viewable area.
