Hello,
I want to build a PC for my cousins using some older components - the monitor will mostly be used for gaming and movies at 1440x900 or 1600x900.
Ideally, I would like a 1440x900 since I doubt an HD 4670 can handle much more. But given the lack of such monitors, I feel a 1600x900 resolution may be a decent compromise.
Now, I have looked at some models - the ViewSonic models seem to offer the best features-to-price ratio, but I am a little worried since I had an old VA1912WB which conked pretty early with extreme cases of burn-in and grains appearing. It was a nightmare to get that thing replaced, only to see the issue reappear after a few months.......
On the other hand, my current Dell SE198WFP on this PC from which I'm typing has lasted almost 3 years now with zero issues whatsoever. Thumbs up to dell, but I understand this model is not available now either.
By looking up on the internet, I finally made up my mind to buy one of the following:
ViewSonic VX1937WM/VX2038WM
LG E2040T/W2043T
Samsung B2030
AOC 2036SA
Which of these is good? ViewSonic is the cheapest available out of the above 3 but I have not had a good experience before. My mind is more inclined towards the Samsung since they do have a reputation in displays, but I thought it better to ask here first.
How's Acer, Asus, AOC, etc. BTW?
