Buying a new monitor on Monday. Want advice.

[K.I.L.E.R]

I want something very large because I do a lot of coding and I need more screen space but I also play a lot of games, most of them old.

I use my computer for 9-12 hours a day, so I need to be comfortable staring at the screen.
I want a low dot pitch around .20 and I don't want to spend over $800 AUD but $900 is fine as long as the monitor is very good.

I'm aiming for a 19-21 inch TFT gaming monitor.
I also want a very big life for them because of my extrenous usage.

Anachronistic, but personally I would get this if I were buying. A bit over your budget but I think it's worth it for versatility.

If your set on a LCD model I'd suggest Samsung, they at least offer a zero dead pixel warranty along with full buzzword compliance.

From the advice and recommendations I've listed a few options.

1. Viewsonic VX924 19" 4ms TFT
2. Viewsonic VP201B
3. Samsung 193P Plus Black
4. Samsung 930MP
5. Samsung 930BF

Out of these 5 monitors, which would be the best for general usage(gaming; new/old games, office use, watching DVDs and TV)?

How about the new Viewsonic VP930B? http://www.viewsonic.com.au/products/productspecs.php?id=232

I was playing with one the other day and it was gorgeous.

Uses the AU Optronics M190EG01 V0: http://www.auo.com/auoDEV/products.php?sec=monitor&func=info&product_id=5&items_id=1

My vote would go with the VP930b as well.

I'm sure you know, but just in case you don't:

www.staticice.com.au is a good Australian price crawler
www.msy.com.au has some of the best prices in Melbourne but has an awful site (PDF price list!)
Whirlpool.net.au has heaps of threads about LCD's around Oz, particularly relating to Dell specials. I'd recommend picking up one of the high quality Dell monitors via browsing on Whirlpool, personally, since the group deals and such really get you good value. I picked up the Dell 2405 for $1300-odd AU, which is now about $600 off the RRP.

Remember, a good monitor not only increases your computing experience likely more than any other computer part, but it also likely will outlast any other computer part you own several times over from an upgrade standpoint.

21" widescreen lcd monitor, does portrait mode, dvi with hdcp input, picture in picture, 8ms response time, the works, not a bad price either.
