Need monitor recommendations.

Post #351,574 by mvitale 12/2/11 10:05:02 AM Reply	Need monitor recommendations. When I got my Mac in late 2008, I got a pair of LG W2252TQ 22" monitors to go with it. Until February 2011, I used them both on a daily basis. A few months ago, one of them burned out. Sad face. This morning, the second one burned out. Angry face. So I could send them in for repairs at $99 + shipping apiece. But then I'd be without monitors at home for a while. Not happening. So....What's a good, serviceable DVI monitor that I can go out to either TigerDirect, Fry's, Best Buy, or HH Gregg, and purchase tonight/this weekend? 22+" range, but they still both need to fit on my desk. (Even though price is less of an object for me since this is a business expense, I'm still not paying for an Apple Cinema Display, lovely though they may be.)

Samsung B2330 23" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 1080p, 1920x1080 1000:1 Native 70,000:1 Dynamic 5ms DVI VGA http://www.tigerdire...089028&CatId=4420 http://www.amazon.co...cr_pr_product_top Etc... And you can get them at Office Max for $209, not $179 like the above. Plus, you can get a "Movable Deskmount" there and be able to move them around a bit. I've had some Samsung 216BW monitors since about mid-2007 and I love them. One has a flutter until it warms up in the morning, but 3 minutes and that is done. Display on DVI is tremendous! VGA, you have to "time it" with a pattern.

There's my review in Hardware of it, but I get a 500 error (out of Java heap space) looking for it at the moment. :-/ HTH a little. Good luck Cheers, Scott.
