I think it would be better if you spend 2k more and get a 19" widescreen lcd with 8ms response time

Samsung SyncMaster 740N 17" LCD TFT has response time 8ms(Re: *www.samsung.com/in/products/monitors/tftlcdmonitors/740n.asp). Only go for Samsung and nothing else. Though CRT monitors are more preferred in multimedia and gaming purposes(CRTs more faithfully reproduces colour compared to LCDs). However the best 17" TFTof Samsung is SyncMaster 770P(Re: *www.samsung.com/in/products/monitors/tftlcdmonitors/770p.asp). Its response time is 6ms. But may be it's availability is limited.

lcd IS NOT AT ALL GOOD FOR GAMING

 

[hmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Go for Viewsonic....Best LCD ever...

Do check up that these lcd's have a DVI connector rather than a vga connector before buying ,the samsung 740n has a vga connector. Since you are gaming i guess you'd be having a good gpu card with a DVI jack so you should really take advantage of that.

hi techno_funky, i dont wish to waste a thread for this.. Wat do u mean by DVI connector and VGA connector??( what s the difference between them??

 

[jz2linkinpark]

well, since he's a gamer, 8ms definitely wont do for him..so he should stick to a good 17inch lcd

What do u mean by DVI connector and VGA connector?

DVI connector is meant for display in a TV screen whereas the VGA connector is for display in a monitor. However DVI to VGA convertors are also available in market.

Thnks for ur suggestion guys... Everyone Seems to b pointing Towards SAmSUNG 740N... But there no DVI - Connector with Samsung
Benq Is offerring DVI-COnnectors...
I have also heard ViewSonics r the BEst in Monitors(LCDs)

if There is no more suggestions soon then Might go for SamSUNG 740N

DVI input is for digital signals which will give better display. Almost every brand has models with DVI input also, but generally they are slightly more expensive.

 

[hmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

dude believe me viewsonic is best in LCD n for price too ..

 

[janitha]

I plan to buy a 19 inch LCD. I have shortlisted a few like-
Viewsonic VA 922, VA924
Samsung 931BF, 940BF
I would like to have advice from you people. My uses are routine works and movies.

About DVI inputs... It's not just about TV or a PC monitor...
according what I have found out the Gaming performance and basic Display quality Increses In most of the case because of DVI input... The advantage of a DVI connection over the D-sub(VGA or anolog) is that the DVI connection allows for lossless transmission from the computer to the display cause the dispaly signal from the Graphic card are in digtal format so you get Sharp picture quality when using a DVI input whereas in normal D-sub(VGA or anolog) Connector the Digital signals have to converted to analog...

Samsung 740N , tried and tested . 8ms is cool with gaming. This one has contrast ratio of 600:1 , suits the budget you have.
