Recommend me a 19" LCD monitor
 
As the title says I looking for recommendations for a quality 19" LCD monitor for about £400-500? :)

It's to be used for everything from normal windows usage, photoshop, video editing, web development, but most of all GAMING :D I need it to be the best quality for gaming, high res and fast response times... :)

Not really fussed on make or model just has to be recommended and high quality...


...go on show us your best! :D

Well...I reckon below £500 is pushing it a bit for a 19"...but this aint a bad deal.

P.S: If I remember rightly, Dell use rebadged Samsungs a lot, and sometimes have coupon offers going on with 20% off and things like that. Worth keeping an eye out.

To be honest mate, you looking at about £500 - 600 for a decent 19" LCD, and i would have a look over at overclockers.co.uk :) Although most of them are 1280x1024 and have response times of around 25ms (havnt seen a response time lower than that for a 19" LCD, and ive had a look at a fair few :().

Well, from personal experience, I'd recommend staying well away from Overclockers.co.uk

19" TFT?

Would a 17" be too small instead? I think the viewable screen size on a TFT actually matches the quoted size, unlike with CRT screens (where you lose an inch or so). So a 17" TFT probably wouldn't be far off the viewable size of a 19" CRT (I think?).

Ilyama are meant to be a very good make (for TFT & CRT).

Ilyama Prolite black 17" TFT monitor, £327.82 - 16ms response time, DVI input, etc.

Ilyama Prolite silver 19" TFT monitor, £441.80 - 25ms response time, DVI input, etc.

Funny that Semi On pointed you to Dell straight away.
I was going to say, I don't know who makes LCD monitors for Dell these days (used to be Philips), but I'd steer clear of them, seems all the Dell LCD monitors we get in at work have dead or stuck pixels on.
Got my new PC with 17" LCD last week, got 3 stuck pixels, 2 stuck on red, one on blue.

all the 20-ms monitors have Hyundai panels and all the 16-ms monitors are from AU Optronics
edit: But that only covers 17" panels, so I'll shut up now :)
