I'm in the market for a new computer monitor. Currently I have an old 17" Dell CRT piece of garbage. I'm looking to spend around $300. To use for photo editing, movie editing and all around multimedia purposes. Any suggestions? Or maybe a site with some reliable monitor reviews? Thanks!-Matt

I'm an IT guy, but I'm not up to speed on monitors...may I suggest you ask the same question on TechIMO, a top 1% forum that I moderate? This is a link to the display forum...<a href=\"http://www.techimo.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.techimo.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=7</a>It's a free site and there are a lot of knowledgeable folks there to help. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> I wouldn't post up a link to a competitive horror forum, but I'm sure Justin won't mind a link to a computer forum. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

Well, from personal experience and research, I would recommend this one for your budget: <a href=\"http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001095\" target=\"_blank\">Samsung 20in Widescreen</a>I use that on one of my machines and it's great. However, if you really want to get a beaty, get one of these: <a href=\"http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=bsd&cs=04&sku=320-5647\" target=\"_blank\">Dell 24" Widescreen</a>I use that on my main machine and damn I love it. It works great for movies too...I'm on it right now <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\"

I got a 32 inch LCD Norcemt for about $600, and will never go below that size again! I am a hardcore gamer, and built my own system which came to about $3200 but is an ultimate gaming machine.<a href=\"http://www.norcent.net/main/product_detail.asp?prodID=64\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.norcent.net/main/product_detail.asp?prodID=64</a>$649.00 on site.

I have a Hanns G 19" Widescreen LCD that is in perfect condition, only reason I want to get rid of it is because I bought a 22" recently. I could let it go for $110

<b>SoulCatharsis85</b>.... tried to PM you but it failed so...Can you send along the disk with the driver for it? I hear you need it to use the monitor with XP. Payment will be sent shortly. Thanks!-Matt
