Good Flat Screen Monitor

hey guys, i'm shopping for a new monitor to pick up with my b-day cash.

Has anyone been able to find a really nice, 17-19" one with nice contrast ratio (around 500:1), low response time (8ms, lower prevents "ghosting";), and a DVI input? (looking for all that in a $250 range price package.)

i found this at newegg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009039

looks like a good deal to me, has the DVI and 8ms that i want, and a decent contrast ratio. anyone have any advice, tips, or comments about getting a good flat screen?

also found this one:

no DVI though! :(

Sounds like everyone is talking about the Samsungs so I just wanted to agree with them! I don't have a samsung LCD but I am on my 3rd CRT and man they are awesome, if you can find a Samsung that fits the budget then I say that is the way to go.

anyone know where power consumption works into the equation? (besides the obvious, i know the lower the watts power consumption means it will use less power :P) just curious if it has anything to do with running hotter or cooler or anything else like that, that might not be too obvious.

Tough stuff to find in your price range. The SyncMaster line has some amazing ones with 4ms response time! :o


there's a ton in that range actually. especially 17", ok so not a ton. but at least 5 or so. i'm willing to go just above $250 ie $280 range.

4ms is just insane, especially price wise :P

Samsung makes the best. Get one with DVI. You'll like the picture quality.

I have the Samsung SyncMaster 913N. It has no DVI, but I don't mind that, I love it. It's 19", and it is probably out of your $250 price-range. :)
