Just one thing to say... Pricegrabber.com
Built myself a whole new screaming fast beautiful system with 19" flat panels and the whole bit for less than 1/2 of what the local comp shops were quoting. Cost on the monitors was $200 each after shipping and a $70 rebate.
Hey thanks all.
I think I will pick up the Dell 1907's. Yeah I did try to see if I could justify the difference in comp Usa between the cheap ones and the expensive ones. I really could'nt tell that much very small difference if any so I figured I'd get some feedback here first.
Thanks everone
cheapest is 205 17inch. could you tell me where they are??mcelitetrader

Hey millydog.....
The requirements of a level II chart are small in terms of refresh lag.
Some of the newer models bring down the refresh rate.....You may notice differences in fast moving video games with a bit of a blur. Numbers dancing on a level II will give no problems even up to refresh rates of 25ms. The standard has dropped to around 8ms or so.....wont be a problem for your requirements.

I have used the dells that you are speaking about.....solid hardware and nothing fancy. These will work forever for you.
You were asking about failed pixels.....Ensure you have a warranty..The pixel failure is a percentage failure of the area relative to overall area and once the failure reaches a threshold the warranty will kick in....a bit of a pain in the ass but wont usually be a concern....Dell is good about exchanging hardware rapidly.
I use my trading monitor for trading and i watch movies as well. Its a BenQ 19" FP937s. I only chose it becuase a store across the street marked it down for a week. I had 5 monitors in my range and just waited 3 weeks until one of them dropped in price. The extra money you will pay now is paying for technology that is new and therefore overpriced.
Happy purchasing......the trick is to make fat cash trading and these issues become less of a hassle....
Good luck with the trading
