Recommended monitor for new build?

[dmillerw]

So, I'm looking for a new monitor to replace my current one, an old, hulking CRT...

Any suggestions of good brands? Sizes? Things of that nature?

I have always liked my ASUS monitor. It was cheap and a quality built. ASUS in general is a pretty good brand.

Any CRT monitor.

Really depends what you want. Widescreen or standard? Do you need any particular size? What do you use the machine for? What's your budget?

Buy a FED monitor from some research team. It is CTR version 2.0, and so much better.

well i guess there are 2 viable solutions.
first.
go into a shappingmall and have a look at different brands there.
(go home and order via the internet or over the salesman you trust)

second.
spend hours on the internet and find out which panels are actually on the marked.
the brands often use panels from the same company, so the difference is most likely background light and electronics.
and the later most issues are often adressed in the panel discussions.

but i bought my panel in 2004. so there was only one panel at 22'' back then. so i only had to go for one with decent electronics ^^
(daily use and it still works: samsung - and as i see it it was one of the cheaper productions)

good luck

If I had to buy a monitor today, then it woud be 22" LED, lowest energy consumption possible, yet capable of a 1080 resolution.

I really agree, I have a 27"HD Asus LCD now (1920x1080) and love it. Even the 4 4watt speaker built in are clear and loud. Not to mention they look very very nice. They are also lower priced than many other brands, but built better IMHO.

Here is what mine looks like:
