Looking for advice on a new monitor - Page 2

PTRMAN · January 29th, 2008

I just picked up the Acer p241W at Staples for about $340 (on sale). It isn't the best monitor available but I like it as an upgrade from my 19" 1280*1024.

I'd try to get one locally (try Craig's list) rather than through ebay.

i've got the Acer 2416W, 24" of glory. i don't know where acer stands in comparison to other brands, but its pretty damn good

a decent 22" would prolly be better suited to you. i was considering buying a 24" as an upgrade for my 19"widescreen, but found that it wouldnt be worth it. the samsung 226bw screens are good, as well as some of the asus ones, just depends on the model.

Get two of these. 2ea 21.6" Monitors = $328 shipped after rebates.

Yup ... that is two nice monitors for $328 to your door.

Staples Hanns-G 21.6" Monitor $190

Buy separately and use 2 coupons ... and make sure to read the fine print for the "Rebate" and qualify for 2 rebates. [Make copies of your rebate forms etc.]

i think that's the best you'll do for your budget

I personally have the exact monitor. Got it a few days ago actually.
Flawless picture, perfect gaming or WoW. AWESOME 10/10

I found this at a local retailer but they also ship nationally. Pretty good deal I think.
