Title sums it up.
My old faithful Viewsonic P225f crt finally died.
RIP
So - here I am on an even older Magsonic 17" (that the p225f replaced - and glad I didn't rhrow it away) looking for a new monitor.
I don't play games - no free time - so response and lag times aren't that critical.
Do watch a few movies on the computer though - maybe two per month.
Main use is as hardcore amatuer doing realistic 3D stills and animations.
I know from seeing my apps running on other displays that 24" is the size I want within my budget of $500.
Research has led me to the SAMSUNG 245BW and DoubleSight DS-245W as the two contenders.
SAMSUNG - established company, decent display for a TN panel, versatile OSD.
DoubleSight - little known company, s-pva panel with apparently good quality, narrow range of screen resolutions.
Unknowns for both -
1:1 scaling in 4:3 modes, support, etc.
Hope someone can give advice on which to choose.
