Help Choosing a Display
Hello Im looking to purchase a new display to couple with my 15inch macbook pro. Im looking for something along the lines of a 19 or 20 inch widscreen. Ive seen a bunch and im not to sure. I have been reading reviews also and going nuts on which one to purchase. Money is a problem because I am a student and I need the best price to performance ratio as possible. I have selected these monitors.
Samsung 204B (1600x1200, 5ms, 800:1, 300cd/m2)
Benq FP202W (1680x1050, 8ms, 600:1, 300cd/m2)
ViewSonic VX2025WM (1680x1050, 8ms, 800:1, 300cd/m2)
Any other suggestions are welcome. It must have DVI and stay around the 300 to 350 range or cheaper. Thank you for your time.

still havnt made a decision between the samsung or viewsonic any suggestions? i got the money to purchase it now and was wondering what to get.
The Samsungs have been tons of problems IIRC. I'd go with either the Viewsonic, or this LG: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824005070.
Can't go wrong with a viewsonic (makes you just wanna kiss those pixels), or a samsung (dell and apple monitors are essentially samsungs)
Yeah, I actually bought two VX924s, and they are absolutely flawless. I can't say enough about them. I only wish I had more time at home to use them!
It has a USB hub built in, it has the most insane number of inputs (click for picture), including DVI, D-SUB, VGA, composite, component, EVERYTHING:
And costs less than the Apple one, sure, a few hundred more than the Dell, but the Dell still has significant banding issues that annoy professionals.
It's what I'm getting.
Looking specifically at:ViewSonic G90FB Black 19" CRT Monitor
compared to $300 20 inch LCDs with DVI and 1680x1050

Mine flickers yellow tinted all the damned time.
