Post #281,237 by a6l6e6x 4/10/07 1:16:39 PM Reply	Re: 19 inch Measure your current monitor, probably horizontally, to see how much room you have. Many of the LCD monitors have a small frame around the display compared to the CRT kind. You may very well be able to buy a 20" LCD.

Post #281,252 by Silverlock 4/10/07 2:53:40 PM Reply	Hmm. I think I screwed up. I forgot monitors are measured on the diagonal. I have 19 inches horizontal space available. What that works out to in diagonal, I don't know. 21? ----------------------------------------- You can fire an at will employee for good cause or no cause, but not bad cause.

If the price for a 20" monitor is sub $200, don;t expect very much in terms of quality. 19" LCDs do have some very good deals, but you really have to look at what you buy, BEFORE you buy it. So, IMO Samsung has had some good monitors for a long time, CRT and LCD. It is up to you to decide. And BTW, my 21" Monitors I just got recently, actually look better than the Samsung 204B I had a while ago. I had to "turn them down". I am also using 100Hz refresh rate. Very nice. If it weren't SDB, I'd be plum as happy as I could get. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* Freedom is not FREE.
