Am in the market for a new 19' Monitor. Now I'm sure many for you out there
have either used or are currently using one and would like to hear your
feedback about em.

The primary use will be for gaming followed by surfing web etc etc, am
running an ATI 9800 Pro vid card.

Cheers

If you want cheap and cheerful look at the AOC 9KLR - I'm reasonably happy
with the 2 I have bought.

DSE are selling their own flat 19" for $304, which is pretty good for a big retailer.

I have checked the out monitor myself, looks good. They also have them in stock in
several of their retail outlets. I recommend you pop in and do some tyre-kicking.

For gaming and to match that vid card you'll be wanting anything with a
Trintiron Tube. ie Philips 109P
Anything else probably wont handle high resolutions at high refresh rates
which your vid card can support.
ie 1600x1200 @ 100Hz

Of course, if you're looking for a better quality tube then I'd suggest the
Philips 109P Real Flat monitor, does 1600x1200 at a cool 85Hz.

thanks for that, I had spoken to a couple of other people and they had
mentioned similar things, time to check out the prices.

Philips 109p4 is a very nice monitor indeed. It can do 1600x1200 @ 85Hz -
that's flicker free.

It is based on a flat-screen trinitron tube.

Originally I was sceptical about the quality of Philips monitors; But this
one actually is nice.

we have some fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor
products are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because
they've done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie anywhere
but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities as public
relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this kind of nonsense
from Microsoft and its products."
