Weigh in on which Monitor I should buy.

hellothere · Post by **hellothere** » Fri Jul 04, 2003 12:03 pm

As i put together my computer, I have narrowed my choices for monitors down to three contenders. They are all within $10 dollars of eachother and I can't afford to go up in price from these. They also seem to all have similar tech specs. So what I am looking for is people who have any of these or have seen them. I cannot find any of these to look at in real life and so I'm trusting you guys to be my eyes. Let me know which you like the most and maybe why. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Samsung 957MB

NEC FP912SB

Sony E440B

Hello there:

Could you link to some spec's or reviews, please? Are these CRT's or LCD's?

I don't know about any of those monitors but Sony CRT's are really great and their discontinued models can be found cheap on ebay. I recommend the Sony G400 or G420 as well as the GDM F400 (excellent). I have the GDM F400 and its fantastic.

Nec would be my next

Side note: using the BBCode conventions for shorter URL links would help
keep this thread from being so wide that it runs onto the monitor in the next
office.

If it is any help, started a separate thread--Samsung warranty claim is not winning my brand loyalty....--
to detail the difficulties I have had with Samsung trying to process my
monitor warranty claim and get me a sufficiently working replacement.

My issues have been with the 955DF, but if customer support is a factor in
your decision, my story may be helpful.

Here's a side note: Why is this thread in the Gallery section? I would say its closer to Off Topic/Not Silent.
