I need to decide on a monitor, here are my choices:
Code:
19” 5ms DVI WS Acer X193WB
$223

19” 5ms DVI WS Acer P193WB Gloss Piano Black
$223

19” 5ms DVI (4:3) LG L1953H-BF(NSW & SA Only)
$235

19” 5ms DVI WS LG 194WT / Philips 190CW7CS
$229 / $235

19” 5ms DVI ASUS VW192T / VW193T
$229 / $229

20” 2ms DVI WS Proview LB2006 “Best Value”
$239

20” 5ms DVI WS Benq G2000WB /Philips 200WS8FB
$245 / $249

22” 5ms DVI WS Chimei 221D(B) / 222H-HDMI WS
$295 / $439

22” 5ms DVI WS Acer AL2216 / X223W
$309 / $312

22” 5ms DVI WS Viewsonic VA2226W / Philips 220EW8FB
$285 / $325

22” 2ms DVI WS Proview FP2226 / Viewsonic VX2235WM
$293 / $313

22” 2ms DVI WS ASUS VW222U / Samsung 226BW
$327 / $337

22” 2ms DVI WS LG L226WTP-BF“3 year perfect pixel WT”
$335
(All prices are in Australian Dollars)

What is the best out of that lot, other than the Chimei 222H-HDMI WS? Or is the Chimei 222H-HDMI Widescreen so much better than the others that I should ignore the high price and get it anyway?


Also, for the Video card, I can choose 512MB 8800GTS Generic, Leadtek, Gigabyte, or ASUS. Which should I choose, and what is the difference between each? They're all priced the same.

Thanks in advance.

I personally think LG and ViewSonic are cool, but Samsung is the best (once more in my opinion). Get what you think you will need.

For the graphics card, definitely don't get "Generic" (unless it is some other brand in hiding). If any of them have a custom cooler/overclocked, get that one. I don't know much about each company themselves, maybe someone else can help.

Thanks. Smile

Considering my current monitor is a LG and it's been fine for nearly 2 years, I'm strongly thinking of getting the 22" 2ms DVI Widescreen LG L226WTP-BF for $335. Do you think that Samsung is just that tiny bit more worth the two dollars more I would have to pay for that? Razz

Also, I plan for the new motherboard to be a Gigabyte, so naturally I'm thinking of getting the 512MB 8800GTS Gigabyte graphics card. Also, this person seems to be happy with theirs.

Anyone have a strong opinion against either of my choices? Smile

If it is literally $2 more then that's a great buy Very Happy I would upgrade if the cost difference it $10 or less.

Generally speaking, all G92 8800GTS are really powerful, but I would wait and see if prices drop with the release of the 9900GT and 9900GTX.
