I reviewed the recent postings but I think my requirements are a little different.
I’m ready to step up, mainly to gain a little space on my desk, and not have a 40 pound crt staring me in the face.
I’m looking for a 19" or better LCD monitor at a reasonable price. Color fidelity is not an issue since I never do work for print. I only do work for web sites I produce.
What does matter to me is the monitor has to be "watchable" in an non-technical sense, since I will be looking at it 8+ hours a day. The ones I see at Fry’s, at least the affordable ones, seem to have dot-pitch that makes them look like early 70’s color tv’s. Luminance is important, I hate a dull looking screen. Contrast, I believe black should truly be black, etc. "Features" are not a factor. Just display the damn screen.
Hate to drag this group down with such an armature question, but maybe someone here will understand my needs.
Something around $500 US would fit my budget. I don’t follow this kind of thing closely and appreciate any advice. If 19" is impossible for what I want at that price 17" might work.
TIA. Alan
