19" LCD advice
-
I'm looking to get a new 19" (or bigger) LCD. I have a 17" Sony that I like very much. I primarily use it for coding, so 1600 x 1200 would be sweet. I'm thinking about just getting the Dell UltraSharp 1905FP. It seems like a decent monitor for the price. Any other recommendations?
The Dell UltraSharp's that I've seen are crystal clear. They're not as fast (response time) as more expensive ones, but they sure fit the bill for programming. Good music: In my rosary[^]

How noticable is a "not as fast" response time? If I play games once in a while, how big of an annoyance will this be? -D
IIRC, the Dell monitor has a response time of 16 ms, while the newer ones respond at 8 ms. I've never played with the Dell LCD, so I can't tell really. But I don't think it'll be much of a problem. Good music: In my rosary[^]

How's the sound? I'd love to save some desk space but if the speakers sound worse than britney, I don't want them...

I asked the same question a few months ago. I ended up getting a Samsung SyncMaster 193P that I'm very happy with. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

Samsung Syncmaster 213T. 21.3 inches and just under $600 these days for 21.3 inches of real estate. Have two on my desk rotated 90 degrees so more code fits on the screens from top to bottom:) That tiger direct deal on the 19 inchers seems pretty sweet too! Jim

My Sony SDM-HS74P is great. It's very bright. I imagine it will be my "preview" monitor while the new one will be for my code. It has a wide border, which won't be as fun when I put the new monitor along the side, but I'm not about to get rid of this one. Thanks to all for the recommendations thus far.

FWIW, response time needed depends on the type of game you are playing. If you are playing a fast-paced FPS, like Unreal Tournament at 130% game speed, you likely want pretty fast rates. "Ghosting" makes for false sniper targets... For slower-pased games, like Starcraft, or a MMORPGS, you might not even notice the refresh rate. Peace! -=- James
