A call for Monitor Recommendations

Quote from sammybea:

if u spend hours a day in front of a comp.. it might be well worth it for your HEALTH to get a lcd over a crt. With the amount of radiation crts emits, why would anyone want to take that risk? I understand the problem is due to cost.. but what are the costs of health and life? Not trying to scare anyone, but why take the chance? Spend a little bit more for a used lcd, and cut down your risk for cancer and other related diseases.

Good point...
 
Since someone recommended Dell, thought I would mention that their 18" LCD is 25% off today only with free shipping = $487. According to the email I received you can take an additional 5% off that price today as well. Haven't used it but specs look good for the price.

LCD's I like, both about $550 and probably somewhat better than the Dell: the Viewsonic VG800 an 18.1 incher with 600/1 contrast ratio, and the Samsung 172T and B, updates to the 171 series that are NICE...supposedly there is a 192 update to the 191 in the works.

CRT wise, I have always had good luck with Optiquest monitors, owned by Viewsonic and recipients of top value honors for years.
 
I have a friend that is a network admin and he just bought the 191 from Dell (their branded version) for around $600. He buys a lot from them, so I'm sure he got a discount, but the rep told him that Dell was discontinuing that model and that was why they were selling them so cheap. So that may be the best place to look for them while they still have them. This is all second hand info, so take it for what its worth.
