I currently have a coupon to get 25% off any Dell monitor.
My question is: should I get the 17" (1704FPV) or the 19" (1905FP)
I'm not really on a tight budget, but the more I save the better.
This is only going to be used as a second monitor at this point, but maybe eventually become the main monitor for some system in the future.
The 17" has a 1000:1 contrast ratio; both have DVI and USB hub; both have at most 20ms response times.
I'm a little tied up because I want the biggest I can get, but I also want performance. The 17" seems to tie everything together: great price, great performance, good features, etc, while the 19" is just massive. This whole thing is mainly size.
I guess taht it might be better to get the 17" because of the value and performance, and the fact that both have the same desktop space. (1280x1024)
But whats your opinion? The 17" or the 19"?
also, if someone could get the response time for the 17", cause I don't remember if its on the site or not.
EDIT: response time on 17inch is 25ms. anyone think that it might affect performance (probably movies and possibly games, but not anytime soon, esp. since im hoping to get an iMac G5)? all this is going to be is a second monitor.
