Hi.. Im australian and i have about 200$ to spend lol, its about 195$ usd.

Im looking for a 22" LCD one with 5ms response or better, maximum res of 1440+ and in my price range.

If possible, i really like the design of these monitors


I like the black really thin looking monitors, i hate monitors who have alot of usesless bordered stuff. Cause i might possibly put 2-3 together in the future, so thin is quite better.

I dont think i have the right amount of money to get one of these brand new, i might consider buying second hand if i have to. Anyone know any good places i can get it from? perferbly in australia.

I saw a decent looking Viewsonic 22" LCD 1680x1080 for $199 somewhere yesterday.

Well, everyone for $190-$199 is out of stock now. Cheapest one of these I see today is $209:

where in australia? if its nsw, hit up fluidtek, they're a little over the $200 mark, but they're 5ms 1680x1050 AOC's

if not, hit me up. i'm in sydney

ummm, i can't say for australia since i don't stay there, but i can say that Yuraku are cheap, and excellent. Mine (other rig) cost me £125, and most monitors for that price go for about £180... you might want to look out for em.

do 22" monitors come with a 1440x1900 res? mine is 1680x1050 and looks bad if i downscale it to that res...

ive gotten so spoiled by this crt i cant even start to look at a LCD unless its got a 2ms response, then i cant even bring myself to look at the price.

as much as i like CRT's because of the response rate as im a hardcore gamer, i also like liquid display and very nice looks along with my case. Bringing a huge CRT to a lanparty or traveling from place to place as much as i do with my computer, a CRT is out of the question.

Are you meaning in AUD or USD?

If it AUD, the cheapest 22" is AU$300 and its of the brand Chimei (Close to that, they were called CMV afaik) which I know is a good brand, as I had one that worked for 3 years, until it fell off my desk thanks to loud music making desk vibrate like crazy + a pet bumping it.

If you want 1440x900, Why don't you go 19"? Its a lot cheaper.

if you have a friend in america, he/she could buy it here and ship it to you. by the way, the sceptre 22" is 229 with 2000:1 contrast ratio and 1680x1050

Never mind, thanks for your helps but i actually have ordered that picture i have at the top. the Samsung 2243BW has 1680x1050 res, 5ms and 8000:1 contract ratio. Only cost me 300 AUD. Does anyone know if this is good? looks so awesome.

It is awesome, the specs are very good and the price is quite good also.

For the calibration/test see on www.xbitlabs.com the monitor tests, they have a very comprehensive review.

Cheers!
