Monitor w/ GeForce 2 Ultra

[Guest]

Okay, I have a 1.2 Athlon with a GeForce 2 Ultra that I am in process of getting...now I need a monitor to complement my gaming needs. The problem...I only want to spend around 350$ max...now you prolly think im screwed..but I have access to a free 19in Dell Trinitron UltraScan P990....It retails for around 549....here are it's spec's: http://www.support.dell.com/docs/monitors/P990/specs.htm

Now what I want to know, am I better off spending like 250$ or so and getting a used sucky 19incher to replace this Dell comp...and take the 19incher...or should i spend around 350$ and maybe get a real good refurbished 17 incher....The UltraScan p990 is 20in monitor, 18 inch view area....I'm not good with monitor spec's..so if someone who is could take a look at those spec's and give me their opinion on what to do.

Thanks

I have a refurbished WorkStation 20" HP Trinitron monitor which I paid $289 and I am extremely amazed at its high quality, one happy camper. If you can get a high end monitor, even refurbished, I recommend getting it. It will be better than those cheap commercial monitors at Best Buys, Office Depot and what not. Try to view it, on my HP monitor there are some advance controls which you can really tweak in the picture to astounding clarity. The people selling the monitor to me had no clue in how to adjust it right.

My dad has a a Trinitron Dell UltraScan P990...it retails for 550$ i believe...so I am getting him Refurbished Lite On 19" .26 Monitor 1600x1200 max 18" viewable...for 140$ at www.newegg.com

The trinitron 19 incher should be good enough for my ELSAC GeForce 2 Ultra right...(thats the card ended up getting..not hercules.)
