I am in the market (which is to say I'm not buying one tomorrow, but I'm researching) for a new 21 inch (Bigger if it's worth it) monitor for around the 200 dollar mark, full 1080p would be a great plus, but it looks like 1680x1050 is the standard for this size.
Anyone know where to point me?

Surely if I were to sell you a new monitor, it'd be an old monitor?

Dude just browse newegg or check slickdeals or something

Um, I'll sell you any number of 22 inch monitors for 200$ a piece.

I would think about selling you my 20" Samsung but I like it.

Would you take a bullet for it? 6 of them?

I'll sell you a 19" for $150. If you want two identical ones, $250.

Okay, Im terrible at titles.
I guess I meant "Recommend" me a new monitor, sorry guys.

Read reviews. Stop posting new threads. This is not a man-powered search engine.

People here buy things, they also know things. Asking around is a useful part of anyones research.

Yeah, but asking for advice on a message board where 80% of the user base hates you probably isn't a wise movie.

Useful, but often unnecessary if you aren't lazy.

It would be different if you had some specific question that couldn't be answered by a spec sheet, but you don't.

And, fyi, this makes you the kind of annoying that no one finds funny. That is bad.

But you never make any attempt to do any research on your own.

I bought my entire system on my own, I'm just not sure what to look for in a monitor.

Hey this guy has the right idea!

I have found this method effective:

1. Go on Newegg (or another similar website) and browse to monitors section
2. Use Advanced search to specify the specs that I want
3. Sort results in ascending price
4. Google specific models that look good or have good reviews for more information
5. Try to view item in person or in store or find a video of it
6. Consult with friends personally familiar with product (optional)
7. Make decision

Actually guys, in this case, reviews are mostly worthless. Most LCD reviews don't bother to mention panel type (TN, PVA, IPS etc), which is critical for image quality. I'm sure Tibby didn't bother to do research as usual, but the barrier to entry on research for this topic is pretty big. I think asking here was a good idea.

I recommend reading bit-tech.net's reviews of LCDs, they offer much more detailed analysis of image quality. Generally, the TN type panels, found in most monitors, especially ones with low response times for gaming, have **** for image quality. The people on Newegg that tout their $150 Sceptre displays as being good generally don't know what the hell they're looking at. Newer IPS panels, the kind often used for TVs, have low enough response times for gaming while blowing away TN in image quality and viewing angle.

Generally, Dell makes excellent monitors. Just make sure to get one with a good panel type like IPS. An easy way to filter out ****ty TN panels is to look at viewing angle. If the monitor has a 160 or 170 degree viewing angle, it's probably TN and it probably sucks. If it's 176 or 178, it's probably PVA or, more likely these days, IPS. If you can find a Dell panel that's IPS and has a decent response time, it'll probably be good. Unfortunately these are not usually cheap.

The Dell 2007FP and 2007WFP (widescreen) are still fantastic. I personally think Dell discontinued them because they had panels way too good in them for their price point and weren't making enough profit. The original models had IPS panels, but were later replaced with cheaper and slightly inferior PVA panels. Even the PVA panels are excellent. I have two 2007FPs, one which is IPS and one which is PVA. They have a higher response time of 16ms, so there is noticeable but minor motion blur in games. I've gotten used to it, though. 16ms is probably the cutoff for gaming, anything past that like 20 or 24 is way too much.

Thanks, That is exactly what I was looking for.
Now I know what to look for.

You can still get 2007WFP's and others from the Dell Auction.

Yeah, that's a great place. I see 2007WFPs and FPs on eBay and Amazon occasionally. I got my two FPs refurbished from Amazon. I asked the seller if he could guarantee zero dead pixels, he said yes.
