Hi,
I have seen that most post of this forum is about expensive models, I have a question about inexpensive models.
I think there is a big chalenge in finding good quality for less money, and acctually finding the best Performance/price ratio.
I'm searching for a TFT just to replace my CRT, that is to small, and my eyes hurt a bit if I look more than 2-3 hours.
I usually spend 4-5 hours on my home monitor.
I'm searching for a good monitor, that shouldn't be exepnsive, I won't play games, and if I will play I don't really care if there will be a little gosthing. I will watch some TV(I'm planing to buy a tunner card) and watch some divx movies, and most of the time I will read articles and write programs.
I have picked some TFT from the nearby stores that I'm thinking of buying, but I don't know wich one to chose. I you know other models, just tell me. Bellow are the one that I found.
