What monitors do you guys like?

Real men use CRT's! =D

[pc_guy]

LCD = good for the environment, energy efficient
CRT = 5+ pounds of lead + other toxic materials, power hungry

CRT = The Commodore64, Atari 2600, IBM PC days
LCD = The Intel quad-core, PS3, the 21st century!

Well, to be on topic I think any LCD you choose to buy will be a good investment, most are good-excellent.

Here we go again with garetjax and his pro CRT propaganda.

Let's keep things on topic guys. Basically, I would look for the best deal out of good models (not entry-level) from Samsung, Viewsonic, LG, Dell, Sony, BenQ, etc...

When buying an LCD, you'll know that it's not entry-level when it has a 3 year warranty.

I don't even consider LCD's that have less than 3 years warranty.

Also check their dead pixel policy. Many manufactures won't replace an LCD unless it has a certain number of dead pixels. Some will replace with just one.

Viewsonic has a 30-day 0 dead pixel policy in Australia - link

Don't know if this applies to North America, wasn't able to find anything on the US site.

Viewsonic, Samsung, and Dell make in my opinion, the best LCD monitors

Dell monitors FTW!

You seriously can't go wrong with Dell. I still have never heard anyone complain about having a dead pixel on a Dell monitor (this includes spending two years on a Dell support forum). Plus, for the size and features, they're relatively cheaper than the competition.

Samsung and benQ get my vote
