my old 14inch monitor is really getting irritating these days so i would like to buy a new one, my budgets is 11k, but i will only stretch it if its really, really important...okay thanks...it can be either lcd or CRT...but i like to play games so yeah....thank u

Samsung 740N.

^^: 74n if you want an LCD, but as you have mentioned gaming, i am not sure 8ms (reponse time of that monitor) is good enough, so you may think of getting a 19" CRT

 

[aquamatrix]

if you are an hardcore gamer get a 19in crt, or a samsung 740n will do quite well.

 

[satyamy]

whts the cost of 19" CRT or 17" TFT ...........?
is it 11k

 

[aquamatrix]

it depends on what model, though 740N is for 11k.

 

[jz2linkinpark]

whts the cost of 19" CRT or 17" TFT ...........?
is it 11k

yes...many 19" models are 11k....(crt)

i would like to say that the samsung syncmaster 793s is the best 17 inch monitor around 5k

 

[bullyboy]

okay guys, tomorrows the day i buy, so any quick suggestions would be helpful....also, i heard there are monitors which strain the eyes, so are there any which don't...?
@drvarunmehta: from the thread in the reviews section by mav3, it doesn't seem as if the 740n is a very good monitor.....
@jz2linkinpark@yes, some names would be helpful
also, what is the cheapest 19" lcd and a similar priced 19" CRT? thank you

[jz2linkinpark]

Hey bullyboy,

Can you tell me if games are running smoothly on Samsung 940BW, especially the racing or FPS ones.

Thanks in Advance

 

[yugantar88]

why dont u have a look at BENQ FP71E costing 10,900-11,500.
it is of 17'

 

[jz2linkinpark]

WHAT!!! you are comparing US prices with ours....u must be kidding........

oh......sorry.....thats a price from my personal dealer, that too that monitor can be gotten as low as $208, but as i checked the price with a reputed dealer who offers actual after-sales service, so price went to the high side....

yes, i am very, very impressed with the monitors performance.....i am not sure of fps games but yes, i played nfs carbon on the monitor and i didn't experience any problems with the respnso time, in fact, i would say it runs better than on my previous samsung 793mg(CRT)
