I'm really at a loss here...

I really really need a new display. I've been using a 1997 IBM 16.1" CRT with my new build and it is crap. In dark games like FEAR it just wants to cut out at a certain black level and so you get those annoying red patches on the floor. It also takes up like half of my desk and I have to run my freaking desktop in 800x600 for fear of hurting my eyes with 60Hz 1024 (@_@)...

Anyway I've been researching LCDs for a while now and I have some guidelines:
1.19 inches
2.<= 8ms b/w
3.DVI
4.[500+]:1 contrast
5.95% rgb reproduction

The thing is I hav a Venice 3500+, 6600GT and a gig of ram so certian games just won't run at 1280x1024

I'm not willing to spend more than $400 shipped with a cable on this comp, as it has already pissed my mom off that I'm spending so much just to play games.

So do you have any suggestions?

I was thinking 940b but as the rebate has just ended some of the veiwsonic offerings are looking very good.

I'm not going to go for the hyundai becasue I want quality scaling hardware, don't worry I'm not the kind of nÜb that runs in non-native resolutions tho.

:D
 
Thanks man ;)

This forum is the most knowledgeable out there on real world LCD testing so I just need a couple suggestions from experience

At school we use Dell's crappy 17" analog panels, and they ghost like HELL (In SM during C++ class of course, lol). I also don't like the idea of my nooblet friends coming over to my house and saying, "omg u didn't build your computer it's just a gay dell lol"

If you have any suggestions I guess I'm open to anything (even a dell ) :rolleyes:
 
Sorry for double posting in advance, but this is a sepertate thought

I just realised that I can't get a 2405 because I wouldn't be able to run anything in the native res.. :(

I'm begging for a serious suggestion here...

I couldn't buy an Sli motherboard because I just spent $100 on a NF4u two months ago, and my dad would probably not let me use his credit card because he knows I'm doing it just for gaming performance...

I guess I just want to know if the 940b is still a logical choice

Seriously
yes, it's actually at the top out of the 19" lcd's currently on the market.
I bet the screen looks better then my VX924.

Is there a flaw in the VX924?

What panel would be higher at the top yet under $400?

They both are pretty good but mine has alot of blacklight bleeding that I feel is unexceptable.
And samsung is a good company with some real good lcd's.
That first one I told you to get, the 24" samsung. That's the one I'm working on getting soon.
 
O.K. on newegg that would be:
940b + 6ft DVI cable + shipping=
$362.47

Can anyone find it for cheaper?
Does it really not come with a frekin DVI cable?
