Higher End System Build Need LCD Panel Advice

Lowvez · TweakNOOB Joined: 12 Feb 2004 Posts: 161

Hey Guys, i recently just got a new job and i am building a new system. I want to run duak monitors with 2 19" panels. My problem is i don't know much about them. I want to make sure it is fast enough for my games. I plan to run a crossfire system with dual monitors during regular daily things but i will shut one down and enable crossfire during games.

Please advise which LCD panels are best for gaming in the 19" level. I'd rather not go above $1000CAN for each monitor if possible.

Thanks.

I recommend getting a princeton series lcd

Princeton VL1917 I believe is the part number. I cant be sure exactly as Im not at home, but these bad boys cost me $250 each and I have them mounted on my wall. and I have NO ghosting whatsoever on these running 120+ fps on Half Life 2

Great and bright. I only have 1 dead pixel (well bright green pixel) out of mine. I can live with it so I really dont notice it.

I've never used one of these but, they do have a 6 month no dead pixel warranty. They look pretty nice and the specs aren't to bad either.

But, rule of thumb....Samsung, LG, and NEC build entire lines of good monitors. Can't think of a lemon in any of their lines.

Agree on Samsung. They also have a lifetime no dead pixel warranty (unless they changed it).

Oh, one word of advice on 19" LCD's. Get one that has good adjustability heightwise.......depending on your desk, you might have a problem getting it right where you want it. 19" is just big enough to be a little finicky about placement.
