Hey guys,

I've tried 2 different LCD's now the Hyundai and the 193P+ and returned both. While both appeased my gaming side neither tickled my fancy for graphic editing. I think what it came down to is the lose dot pitch on 19" lcd's(.294). I found small images looked over sharpened and just can't live with it. Anyways it's time to make a new choice cause when the sun comes out I can barely see the screen of my 17" crt in my office.

Little quick info: 60% gaming these days, 40% graphic design etc.

I probably would be up for the Dell 2005 but only if it was on deal, $599 CDN seems the cheapest it goes. I am a little concerned of how most of the games I play will handle wide screen resolutions - Battlefield and Raven Shield.

So here's a few of 20" screens I can get up here for $699 at the present and wondering if anyone has any input or perspective.

BenQ 20" LCD Monitor (FP2091) - Best Buy - take it back if I don't like.
Viewsonic VP2000s - which is the same as the VP201S minus USB's. - Staples - can return as well.
Acer Acer AL2032WD - This one I am a little hesitant about as I can only buy it from places with tighter return policies and I hear it may need a firmware upgrade.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
 
Funny, I'm looking for a new LCD myself.

This Samsung 214T is not out yet, many sites list that it is due this month. Check out these specs:
http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_detail.jsp?eUser=&prod_id=LS21BRBAB/XAA

Contrast Ration: 900:1 / Brightness: 300 / Response times: 8 ms! (G to G though)

I know you were looking for a 20in, not a 21in LCD, esp with your desire for a small dot pitch, but Samsung makes really nice displays, and this one seems sick.

Also check out the Samsung 204T for a 20 in samsung display.

Hey thanks,

That 214T looks great with that kind of response time and I have been looking at the 204T. Problem with both is price. 204T is $999 up here and I'm guessing the 214 will be more. Guess I should have mentioned a price range, hoping to keep it under $700.
 
i was looking at some Acers befoer i bought a BenQ.. n im not sure if it was the settings what not.. but the Acer sucked ass.. though it did have a 3 yr warr. and heard of SOME good reviews.. anyway

does the BenQ u listed have DVI? if it does.. then hmm its pretty dead even with the viewsonic.. i havent had any experiences with viewsonic monitors.. but it seems like its best buy's favourite.. lol theyre everywhere on their site..

neway if BenQ doesnt have DVI.. then go Viewsonic

What model of Benq did you get? Is it the FP2091? If so how is it for gaming?
