Hello:

Here's a 19" LCD monitor, that by all accounts is excellent! It has some great spec's, and it does have a DVI input, and it is being sold by NewEgg for just $298 with free shipping!



I read a post on the SPCR by someone who has lived with it for three weeks, and he is completely happy with it. On the NewEgg site, there are 30 out of 31 owners who rate it as 5 stars; and the last one rated it as a 4 star. The average rating from 61 voters (including those who wrote the reviews) is 5 stars. And it even has a relatively narrow bezel.

I’ve been pushing our IT guy to upgrade our monitors to LCDs. With the prices coming down, I’m starting to make headway. But yesterday he mentioned that one LCD we have had in the office for a couple years has started to darken. He is questioning the life span of the LCD monitors. Does anyone have experience with older LCDs and how well they hold their image quality over the life of the monitor?

Thanks.

Thanks Neil. Great info. And since LCDs are cheaper to operate, I will push for the Dual LCDs. If one is cheaper, than two must be twice as cheap to operate! I’ll save the company huge money. Yea, right. I’ll only get two monitors if they are delivered by flying pigs.

Thanks again.

Hello Brian:

Here's what I'd do: when they buy you one new monitor, I would buy a second one on my own (though you might also have to buy a dual output video card, too.) Then you get to use the second monitor, and they will see how good it is to have two, and they'll refund your money!

If you get a new card that has a DVI output (to get the most out of the LCD), then it should have the second DVI...
