Dell... It's the best quality

Consider a 20-inch Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW.  It has 1680x1050 resolution, and costs under $500 (not including shipping) (price as of today, 9-Dec-2005).\n\n  http://www.dell.com/\n\nI own the 24-inch 2405FPW and am extremely pleased with it.  It's around twice as expensive, however.

Two primary considerations... Cost vs. Purpose\nEither way, you should look at reviews sucgh as noted below...\nPersonally, I would lean heavily towards the offerings from DELL...This is based upon both experience (familiarity) and overall recomendations from both Internet and professional reviews...

Check out any number of Viewsonic monitors at Newegg, the cheapest 17" Viewsonic is $210 which is only $3 more than the 15".  And since you aren't going to be doing any gaming a 12ms response time should be fine and even that will show fast moving graphics just fine.\n\nYou said you wanted Viewsonic but I love Samsung LCD monitors I currently have three and one of them is over 4 years old and is still working like new, they are a little more expensive starting at $230 but they have one of the best warranties in the industry.

It's as good as most others.  I don't know where they got the reputation for quality - they're assembled from the same parts that any brand name computer has.   I'm not crazy about their tech support which requires you to chat with an artificial intelligence before they elevate your problem to something that should be handled by a human.\n\nThe one thing Dell has going for it is the Wallmart-like stranglehold on it's manufacturers, which keeps their prices very cheap.\n\nThe worst thing I can say about Dell is that you won't be able to buy a computer with an AMD CPU, which means, for the time being, you won't be able to get the fastest computers.  However, you'll be able to save enough money that you might get more for your money if you're not going for a top-of-the-line machine.\n\nBeware of the add-ons if you do go with Dell or most brands, for that matter.  That's where they get you.  The warranty, the leather case, the printer, etc.  Most of those things can be purchased for less money elsewhere - especially the RAM.  They always give you the bare minimum RAM so that the base price looks low and then they gouge you to upgrade to more RAM.  If you want to save a bundle, just get your RAM from another store (search pricewatch, that's a good start) because it'll be much cheaper and RAM's super easy to pop in.

It's not bad deal, Good contrast ratio 700:1 good response time 8ms.  The viewing angle isn't the best @ 150º horizontal 135º vertical; but if your just sitting infront of the monitor you'll never see the difference.  Good price for a 19" too Check out http://www.pricewatch.com/brands/monitors/sceptre_technologies-2.htm\nCostco has it for cheaper.

i own the 2005fpw which is the same thing minus the hd crap but uhmm ya its awesome for games, ive played doom 3, half life 2, and fear with no problems, u just will need a good video card to pump out the huge res at good fps, i have a 7800gtx and do fine. but its amazing for movies, just old games will be stretched to fit the res, newer games have settings to change the aspect to ration to 16:10 which is wat the monitor uses

Good point.  I have both VGA and DVI monitors and definitely notice the difference.  The DVI monitor I bought was very carefully chosen to minimize its price but even then I paid a $50-$100 premium for it over VGA monitors.  Which is weird since VGA must convert to digital to show the image whereas DVI doesn't so it sounds like less components are involved in DVI compared to VGA - go figure.  DVI is too complicated for dumb product & technology reviewers to notice, hence its relative unpopularity compared to VGA.  At least we're seeing video card manufacturers supplying S-Video, VGA, and DVI for their cards so that consumers are given greater flexibility.  If we can get consumers stop solely considering Dell and HP for their monitors, then we should see DVI becoming more popular (and cheaper).

I have Dell brand PC. Usually their deals are pretty good...I believe so that this particular deal is not bad. Go for it...

Are you talking desktop or laptop?\n\nI'm very happy with my Dell laptop.  For a desktop I think you could get something very good quality that wouldn't be as expensive as a Dell.

You shouldnt have any problems.\nIf you have a pc 2-3 years or older. You probably have a VGA connection on the back of your pc. So when buying a new flat screen make sure it is comes with a VGA connection.\n\nYou can also even buy DVI flat screens. But you would need to buy an adapter for your pc. The adapter has to change DVI>VGA. \n\nHere is a picture of both of them. Just check behind your pc to see which one you have.\n\nhttp://www.onlinecomputertips.com/images/h17.jpg
