Can someone make a LCD recomendation?

[gluchy]

Hello everybody,

I have been reviewing a lot of monitors from various manufacturers. I am very confused and have no real life data to make a conclusion as to which monitor to choose. I down to pro series from Viewsonic or Samsung. I would like something in 20" to 21" range, might be wide screen. It will be used mainly for www apps, but I also do some video editing and graphics. Yet I want to be able to play some high end games without regret of compromise.

Are there any monitors anybody can recommend based on real life experiences?

Thanks,

gluchy.

1. Widescreen might require you get a new video card, depending on how new your rig.

2. Price range?

Hose, This will be a brand new computer. I am planning to get high end ATI or NVDIA card.
As far as the price, I will pay whatever it is necessary for a good product, but I am not willing to spend 50% on monitor. So for example high end 23" Viewsonics or 24" Samsungs are out of the question.

That's a more difficult parameter to hold to these days. Quality monitors still cost and computers are getting really cheap. If you don't get into the quality spectrum, all the others are very much the same... TN screens, reduced color fidelity, reduced viewing angles, yada, yada, yada.

If you are a fan of the Brite Screen, I like the NEC 20WMGX2 and 90GX2.

Otherwise, suggest you go to Newegg.com and check out the customer reviews. Just search LCD Monitor, or by brand... like Samsung LCD Monitor.
