Hi, I've recently bought a new PC and I'm currently ordering all my peripherals, and need help choosing a budget (200-250$) LCD. I will be using an 8800GT and Vista Premium, and a good system overall. Spent most of my budget on the system so I don't have much left for an LCD, but I've decided to go with a widescreen 20" or 22" for 1680x1050.

So far I have narrowed it down to three that I like:


the BenQ FP202W 20"

the Samsung 206BW 20"

the Acer X223WBD 22"
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26788&vpn=ET.EX3WP.001&manufacture=Acer&promoid=1001

can anyone offer opinions on these or recommend some others in my price range?
thanks :)
 
Advice on getting a budget LCD? Don't throw pearls before swine. How much have you paid already?

Get a used CRT. Sounds like you will be gaming with that 8800 :pt1cable:
I might persuade someone to part with theirs (little used) if your'e interested.
