Which 21/22" monitor?

[Gubbi]

I'm about to get a new monitor and have been looking around. Does anybody here have an idea which of these are better?:

Samsung 1200NF (22")
Philips Brilliance 202p40 (22")
ViewSonic P225F
IBM P275 (21")
NEC Multisync FE1250+ (22")

Price is more or less the same. The important thing is that they can do 2048x1536 @ >75Hz.

Cheers

Re: Monitor

But, AFAIK, the 191T can’t do 2048x1536.

Also, according to this, the maximum resolution of the FE1250+ is 1920x1440@73Hz. The other ones should be okay, though… I think... don’t take my word for it

Thx for the input.

Funny the NEC is the most expensive here.

LCDs won't do. I'll be using this for gaming aswell as work (my home machine) so it'll need a response time in the ~10ms range.

Besides I already have an 18" LCD as my secondary screen.

I have been using the Samsung 1200NF for over a year. My only serious complaint about it is the control setup took me a long time to get use to. Most pleasant surprise is the front usb ports on it are a real plus for me as the ones in my tower a bit inaccessable to swap out easily.

i have the ibm monitor, and havent regret it. an awesome screen, and got it at a good price. quite heavy but i guess at these sizes they will all be heavy.

I got the Philips, mainly because I could get it at cost price.

It's excellent.

The only real bummer was hauling it up the stairs to my appartment, it is *that* heavy.

Monitors

We have some of the IBM 21" monitors at work, and they are fantastic. The clarity is very nice.
At home I have a Sony G500 Multiscan. I love this monitor. The clarity between the ibm and the sony are equal. I think the color on the sony is a bit better, but Ive had it a while and played with the color much. The Ibm's at work are just default. Ive also heard good things about samsung monitors, I know their lcd's are awesome =). Good luck and good choice on the MONITOR and not lcd for gaming.
P.s. - You really should check out the sony higher ends. But remember all trinitons have the two tiny black lines.

the similarty is bescause ibm uses sony tubes.

i have an ibm p260 myself and i highly recomend anything with a trinitron or dimondtron tube in it.

 

[epicstruggle]

the p260 is what i have (in black) got about 2-3 years ago for like 400 some dollars.

The Philips I got also has the Trinitron lines in the display.

So guess it's a Sony after all.
