OK guys it is finally time to move into the new millenium and get a flat panel monitor. I'm settling for a 19" cuz the price between 19" & 20" jumps up from ~$400 ~$700+ and that's too much money for 1 inch IMO.
Here's my criteria:
-Sony, Viewsonic or Samsung only
-19"
-Under $500 hopefully
-Black (maybe silver if the price is right)
-Thin bezel without speakers (no built in speakers under any circumstances)
Here's the candidates:
SONY SDM-S93 19" (silver)
SAMSUNG SyncMaster 915V-Black 19" a-si TFT/PVA
Both are only $399 at newegg!!!
Sony does make the
SDM-S94 &
SDM-S93 in black (what's the diff between S94 & S93 anyway?) but they're $459.
What do you guys think?
The Viewsonics are kinda pricey and their models around $400 all come with speakers. I did like the
ViewSonic Q190mb 19" for $465 though cuz the bezel is thin and the speakers are on the bottom. You can disable them right? But now that I think about it... for that price I might as well get the Sony one right? I did REALLY like the
ViewSonic VP912B 19" but it's $599
Finally there's performance! Any thoughts? I use my computer for everything including gaming and watching dvds. Opinions are most welcomed. Thanks.
