Buying LCD

In my native tongue, 17-18 inch month = 17-18 inch lcd monitor.

What the hell man?

Anyways, try the Dell ones. They aren't the best, but whatever they are cheap enough.

Do you believe in what you see?

I picked up a 19 inch xerox for like $220 and I love it. The are a good value though.

Check sites like:

http://dealnews.com/

for some deals. They do a nice job of figuring out how to buy from Dell.

*The Dells are a good value though.

Probably one of the best investments I've ever made. Save for a little bit longer and I promise you wont be disappointed. When I first bought it, it was $1200 now you can get it for as little as $600. I've had it for almost 2 years now and I'm still in love with it.

Thanks guys for the help!

i don't believe i've ever seen an 18 inch monitor in CRT or LCD. 15... 17... 19... sure. no 18, though.

what you're looking for in a decent LCD is a fast response time (under 14ms is good) and decent contrast ratio. native res of 1280x1024 or more is a plus.

Mojo is correct.

last black friday i got a 19" samsung syncmaster 912n for under $300. i couldn't be more pleased with it, and all specs aside, it's pretty sexy on its own.

try not to pick the low quality ones tho, colors will suffer.

pay attention to dell deals on the deal sites (like the ones fate0000 mentioned) - dell makes fantastic monitors (using a lot of the same parts that apple does), and you can get incredible deals on them if you just wait for stackable coupons and %off deals and the like.

for info on such things look at fatwallet.com and slickdeals.net

I am thinking about two Samsung 193p. Samsung released an updated model from this monitor and i hope the price for the older model will go down a little.

Those panels i have seen now have been all good. The ones from Dell are really really okay. This is my opinion. I say as long as the response time and the contrast good enough that your eye won´t see the effects the monitor really is okay. And i think for us doing graphics the response time isn´t the only important thing. I am thinking about two 193p or one Dell. Or wait for Samsungs new thin CRT´s

I saw this one Digg too. Since we are talking about LCD's I figured I mgiht as well throw this in.

Thanks for all the advice, especially for those links to slickdeals and dealnews. I've been eyeing around and right now, I'm looking at either the samnsung 192N 19" or the Dell 1905FP.

My other question is, are refurbished items usually reliable?

IMRIK:
I don't know if you want it, but i'll just throw out these two links, that have some deals for the samsung 193p.
