Well I got $400 to spend and I'm thinking about getting a new monitor. Anyway, should I wait around or should I just buy now and if so what should I get (I've looked at the viewsonic, dell, and nec but really unsure of which I should get, or any other). Thanks
 
I would call up CDW and get the NEC 1970GX for $289.99 right now. Or the NEC 90GX2 is only $379.99 right now. Both are great monitors for just about anything but especially gaming and movies.
 
I'd recommend this:

I have it and it's very nice. It has a glossy type screen so depending on the lighting in your room you might have a lot of issues with glares and reflections.

If that is the case then I would recommend this:
http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/xseries/vx2025wm/

It uses the same panel but it has the anti-glare coating. Use www.pricegrabber.com to search for the best prices for either one. They are both within your budget at most places.

WHY? They have identical specs.........and mine cost less......

Edit: The only thing I see different is the one you listed has two 5W speakers and mine has two 1.5W speakers....but who uses those? Plus I think that big panel underneath the actual screen housing the speakers makes it look like poo IMO.

I believe it's using the same panel as the NEC LCD20WGX2.

If I'm wrong, disregard my comment. :)

Yeah, that's what I'm leaning towards.
 
i just picked up the Samsung 204b and so far i am liking it. No bleeding fast response and nice colors. Plus i really wanted a standard 1600x1200 i've had a few widescreen panels and i must say. for gaming they are the suck. for movies some are great.. for internet usage i kinda dislike them as they tend to cut off a bit of the vertical viewing area. To each his own i guess
