(I am starting to become a regular for asking questions here 
).
Well, my dad wants to buy a new LCD screen, we currently have a four year old CRT, which I am getting to put on my own PC (which currently has no monitor) after we get the new one. He specifically wants an LCD as he wants more deskspace, and wants something easier on your eyes.
I have been doing some research and found a few monitors that look good for the job, but I thought I would runthem through you guys first
.
Preferences:
1) 19" (17" is ok though).
2) Good image quality
3) As small as possible ghosting (I still use it for most of my programs, and that includes a lot of games).
4) Good resolution.
5) Good for graphics and games (I also use Photoshop a lot, for my photography).
6) I am currently using an nVidia Geforce 6600, but i'm probably upgrading soon.
7) Good customer support, and I don't want any dead pixels.
Well, I could of summed it up with "a good LCD", but oh well.
Oh and I think there isn't too much pressure on price, though £500 ($880) is probably the upper limit (maybe a bit over).
After searching around, I found the following:
NEC 1980Fxi - Probably my current favourite, seems to be popular as a good L CD for games (as far as LCD for games go
).
Samsung SyncMaster 173P
Dell UltraSharp 1905FP- Though i've heard it has a lot of ghosting.
I'm sure there were one or two others, but I don't appear to have saved them in my bookmarks
.
Well, any advice would be much appreciated
