Yeah I would definetly suggest that... A G420 19"... But they are discontiniued luckily I got one b4 they did :cheese: :cheese: :cheese:

Maybe you can get one cheap that way? :cheers::bounce:

EDIT: The next best IMO is the most expensive 19" Samsung 959 I think or LG 900P I think. They are pretty close and quite exellent indeed 100% flat etc.

Go for Sony, have one myself, a 17" A240, haven't had any problems whatsoever, and the picture is crips and clear. Not to mention it was cheap.

Newegg.com

dude free shipping on anything is a plus.

im buying rethro sega genesis games off of this site. the carthridge is 4.99, total cost is 14.99, shippting is ****ing 10 dollars man, twice the prodcut cost.

SO TAKE MY ADVICE FREE SHIPPING = R0x0rs!!

Shipping for a monitor or a case is usually more than normal. I remember a friend of mine paying 80$ on ground shipping for a ATX case and a small box of parts.
Except if it's discounted shipping or free.

Plus this monitor is just massive. Check the specs.
1920x1440 @ 64Hz
1600x1200 @ 77Hz
1280x1024 @ 90Hz

200mhz bandwidth? That is what allows for these high res/refreshrates.

I love my 19" ViewSonic A90f+!!! It has an ultrabrite mode made specifically for gaming. I also have a 17" trinitron with my old pc (my wife uses it). The picture on my viewsonic is better in my opinion, and it's cheaper. It is also asthetically pleasing as it is silver and black.

Sony makes the best consumer level CRT, but they're also damn expensive. I recommend a NEC Diamondtron 17 ($175) or 19" ($255)monitor from newegg.com.

I have a 17" Sony Trinitron at work and a 17" NEC Diamondtron at home and I can't tell the difference in quality. I personally think my black NEC looks a lot cooler too.
