yeah i think itll be ok cuz i got a 50″ plasma tv and i t has VGA ports so i can hook up my laptop it looks reaaly good , no blurry or anythin you just gotta change the resolution to make it look good :)

2 x 22″ widescreen :P enough for me.. not having nr. 2 yet, but this week next week or something so :D

Dell dont have great support, I bought a dimension e310, 3 days after out 3 year warenty went out, the hard drive broke, they told us we couldnt get a new one so we had to spend 100$ bc they give shitty hard drives.

I don’t know if this stands true in the display world, but a lot of products are made by one company, and then ordered up by several different “brand names”. If Toshiba etc. have a product similar to a product, chances are it’s exactly the same, and not a cheap “rip-off”.

It’s certainly true of TVs, washing machines, and disc drives, so I’m guessing you’ll also find examples in the display world.

“if Toshiba etc. have a product similar to a product from another company, chances are…”

It mistook some of my original comment for mark-up.

I only have a crappy Dell 1702FP 17″ LCD monitor. I had a 12 inch white CRT for 6 years until recently when I got this one for $100. Poor guy, poor family, can’t afford much.

Hi,

As i am a former pc gamer, i totally agree. Usually the bigger monitor,
and which exceeds your graphic card specs, the more lag. Which cant
be so nice with a enemy around the corner.
Quality beats size :D

I would add:

6. If you want a bigger monitor at full resolution and you have only a basic graphics care, you can always replace it with a more powerful card.

However…

7. Make certain your power supply is big enough to handle the new card. Most high-end cards (even moderately-priced) require more power than the power supplies in more economical computers may have available. This can cause problems, including blowing the p.s. and destroying other components along with it, if you can get the card to work at all.

I have a hp 23″ pc monitor worth about 1,430 usd I also have 6 other monitors.

TWO HPvs17e best thing i ever did its crazy

I have a Samsung 225bw that I surf the web, use other applications with and right next to it I have a Samsung 61 inch DLP with VGA input that I game on with resolutions up to 1920 x 1080. i’m so glad that i bought it for gaming and watching HD. pretty cool that you can change from one monitor to the next in just couple clicks and move a rollable desk to the TV for gaming. after gaming on the huge 61 inch, i’m never going back to small monitors.

Whats the point in having 2 or 3 monitors?

thanks chris! i’ve been searching the internet for a while looking for a monitor to use with my MacBook Pro. I never thought of some of these things! i was looking at well-known companies like Samsung and HP, and i never thought of looking at monitors from small name companies. Thanks to this video I’m spending within my budget and getting a good deal on it!

i recomend the apple 30 inch monitors

If you’re looking to buy a monitor for the ability to sit far back (e.g. couch) and be able to read it, or buying the monitor for somebody who’s hard of seeing, buy a 720p HDTV with PC input capability. For example, I have a 32″ Sony Bravia HDTV that has a native resolution of 1366×768, which is a very vision-friendly resolution. I can see it perfectly sitting from the couch about 10 feet away, and sitting up close to game is absolutely awesome.

Good points, it’s exactly what I did. I also hit a few stores and looked at some actually running.

My HP 17″ LCD monitor used to have a green dead pixel, but it eventually went away.

get 2 or 3 and you will see

its all about the Pirillo’s. sounds like a new weird al song :-)

I just bought a 22′ widescreen with 2ms response time, and 3000:1 contrast!!!!!!!!!! I am going to have so much frickin fun! :D :D

bought a 40 inch plasma hd tv for me computer

what kind is it?

I have one laptop Moniter and one external
I would like a 30″ for my Xbox 360 lol

This was a very helpful video. I am planning to get a new monitor and these tips should help me narrow down my choices.

LG.

2 monitors 30 inch HD cinema from apple inc.

i made a mistake myself of getting a 20″ Acer monitor that had a recomended res of 1680×1050 and i currently have an agp card that does support both vga and dvi but a max res of 1280×1024 will this look good on the monitor enough to just use for a week or to befor i get in my 8800gt???? i dont have it yet it is being shipped i hope so though i kno the vid card i am gettin will go up to this res with no problems =D and cant wait to get all my stuff together

Apple 30″ HD Cinema Displays are the best

your not made of money… oh

Nowadays, the LCDs are cheaper than CRTs. I like LCDs for the space saver on my desk because the desk is CRAMPED! Last week, I looked for a monitor and the cheapest one at a major retail for $100…oh well lol.

When he says big brands aren’t always the best, in the right down corner its says Dell

at 2:57

not made of money , but hes got two 30 inch lcds , a 700 dollar computer chair , two macbook pros , and not to recently bought a mac pro and put 16 gigs of ram in it .

that doesn’t sound like something a guy like me who makes 6.50 an hour could afford .

ah. no, no they’re not. dell’s are. compare the specs. not only does the dell (3008WFP-HC) beat the apple spec wise, its cheaper too.

pirillo’s are dell.

One of the things I have noticed about LCD monitors is that the users tend to buy the biggest or try to get the most expensive. I have no idea why this is. When just browsing Newegg.com I see many inexpensive monitors with decent resolutions on sale all the time.

wow that was cool!!!

unfortunately thats because they havent ben updated in a couple of years. Hopefully, after WWDC that will change! (plus apples look the best!)

Um. Yeah. That’s pretty much the mentality of most Apple users.
See, Dell manage to make things that look decent (look at the 3008) but are also priced correctly and functional too.
