Off Topis,
I am looking to buy a new computer monitor.
I have been looking at anywhere from 20" to 30 "
I prefer NEC SONY or quality brands...
Any words of wisdom or tips on which one would be a good choice ?
also Which size is best.... I am leaning towords a 24" but I am afraid that I might
lose some picture quality as compared to a 20' ?
thanks ... Rich SF CA
I am buying a new Monitor... Which One ??

Depends on what you do with it...
Not all LCD's are created equal. The cheaper ones don't produce nearly a full range of colors. I bought a 24" Dell and was pretty disappointed. It's fine for spreadsheets but the colors were terrible. I do some photography as a hobby and wanted a top quality monitor. I settled on the NEC LCD2690WUXI.

It's an outstanding monitor. They also have a 24" version:

With my 60 year old eyes, the new Envision 22" I got from Frye's Electronics for $189 after rebates, seems to work just fine. I have a feeling I'm one of the less computer- literate members of the registry, however. Jim Slawson SF Bay area
