The last one gets my vote http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
..of course a great monitor w/out a great video card is just another monitor

I may be a little late responding here but I agree with Sea...I like the Syncmaster DynaFlat shadow masking tech with a great bang for the buck http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif

FWIW, PC World has been very big on the Samsung monitors, consistently putting the Syncmaster at the top of their charts. Here's the latest 19" monitor roundup (http://www.pcworld.com/resource/article.asp?aid=14884).

Those are great prices, BTW. Would you mind sharing the vendors?

Hey
Well i dont know about Samsung monitors either, but from the looks of things Samantha did some good research on her new PC so i would trust her opinion.

Just remember how big 19" is. Make sure you have enough desk space or get a small footprint. Cant tell you how many returns i had because they didnt have the space for the monitor. Laters...

Oniva is the supplier they ship free. I just used the mysimon.com search engine

I have one of the Q95-2 Optiquest monitors.
The first one was returned after installing it and not being able to get the color match to come anywhere close to correct ( defective ?) The second has been used for 2 months now and it's not color matched very well but it will have to do till I can get something else.

I'd have to say go with one of the Syncmaster models.
