My old CRT that is installed on our second system is finally giving up the ghost. It is 6+ years old but the pink screen is now constant.
I want to take my 3+ year old 17" ViewSonic vx724 with a 500:1 contrast and replace the CRT with it. Now I need to get a new monitor for myself. Since this is a gaming community who better to ask than gamers.
Honestly, I played a lot of games on my ViewSonic and it provides a clear, crisp picture. The colors are vibrant, no dead pixels, and I never had an issue with ghosting.
I am not a fan of the widescreen as I do prefer the 5:4 as opposed to the 16:9. My budget is $200. I don't need all the bells and whistles as this will be for my PC only, but if widescreen is the way to go so be it.
I did find an HP widescreen at a decent price and it has a 1000:1. I realize that lower ms is important and other things come into play, but from your experience how has the contrast affected graphics, picture quality, etc.
And if you have any suggestions please let me know. I really don't need anything bigger than the 20 to 23 inch range. 19" will even be fine.
Thanks.
