Best Deal on Monitors?
« on: August 05, 2008, 11:41:51 PM »
Looking for a 19" LCD Flat Screen. Where is the best deal?
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

You can step up to a 21" for not a heck of a lot more $$

You can get 20-22" cheapies for the $200-$230 range.  I bought my dad a Westinghouse 19" for $180 at Best Buy.  But for me, I prefer a quality over price.  Good 22" screens start in the $325+ range.  Just because the numbers may look good on a model (i.e. contrast ratio, response etc), doesn't mean squat until you see it in person.  So I recommend shopping on the internet and seeing if you local stores carry that model.  Check it out in person if you can and then order it online (more than likely you'll get a better deal there).
