[Yojo]

Looking for for a new flat screen monitor thats 18 inches plus. What are some of the best on the market for the best price possible? Recommendations are much appreciated.

Not sure if it has to do with flat screens but Cops posted about his monitor having lines in it, I found out that it has to do with cheaper construction. I guess just make sure it looks good before you go buying it.

i can sell u a 17 inch lcd... NeC for $500 CAD. Straight Up. :P

Yes, it's used

[ConcreteSchlyrd]

So you're going to sell him something that's used at a higher price that what you'd pay for a brand new one?

Sounds like a good deal to me.

Well, its not that bad... it's in pretty good condition.... there are no scratches

Way to take SS to another level by buying a bigger monitor...

I have a 17" (monitor)

Man I am working my ass off for a killer ass monitior , I have a horrible 15 inch monitor that lets mee see ss ships in sizes of my computer mouse. Once I save up I will probably go to RadioShack (the best place to shop in Canada) and snatch a 17 inch one .

Tyson look in some small computer shops or buy online. Don't pay over 400 $ for one.

I payed 230$ (Canadian) for my 19' flat scren Trinitron. Yes there are some lines in IE. But I don't notice them anymore. if you want to find a cheap monitor in live near Mississauga this is the best place to look www.compuresource.ca . You can proably trade your old monitor in for a discount off your new one, or even computer parts.

What brand?

[Mandagorian]

Dell with a Sony tube.

[Adman]

i got the same thing as cops did, but i paid 50 bucks but there's a chip on the monitor in a rappy place but for 50 bucks, it's a great monitor. AND MY GOOD COMPUTER SHOULD BE FIXED AGAIN, by saturday, so no more crappy ADMAN. unless i quit to play CS all the time.

[Vantage]

any sony tube should be good

I must say... mandagorian got a real good deal

[Ephemeral]

I concur with both Vantage and Mandagorian, Sony is the way I go on all CRT monitors.
In fact, I don't think some people spend enough money on their monitors, keyboards, and mouse. This is, after all, what you end up actually interfacing with on a daily basis.

Logictech is the way to go with mouses I payed 50-60 Canadian for my wireless optical mouse, no complaints.I plan on buying a wireless keyboard when I get some more money in. I have plans within the next year to build a athlon machine with a FX 5900 ultra 256 mb ddr graphics card in it. Reason for doing this is because Radeons don't look so sexy compared to the new 5900 ultra FX. I knew Nvidia would come back in the end and kick Radeon in the balls. I say this because Radeons are sweet don't get me wrong but every card they sell is more then it's worth. Plus Athlon XP processors our worth as much as a 1.7 celeron chipsets. I'm thinking of athlon 2.4 which I can get for $100. So my costs should be $50 for an atx case and power supply, $100 for the processor and whatever I can get a fx 5900 ultra 256 mb ddr card for.
