The 2nd has better brightness and contrast at least according to the specs...

[Muffie]

I noticed that but the second one has 8ms gray to gray and 20ms white black white while the 1st one has 4 ms gray to gray and 8 ms white black white

[Woekele]

Well, if you're planning to play games, I would go for the response-time. But uhm, why narrow it down to these 2?

[Muffie]

There slim/ have a nice design and I loike Viewsonic.

Show me some good 19" lcd's.

[Woekele]

Well, Im not really into it, but I know Samsung has good screens too.

Possible example: http://flat-panels-l...19-LCD-Monitor#

sumsung.....

Dells are freaking nice and good looking if you like me care about product design as well as specs (I like wide screen for flat panel much more than 4:3)

[Muffie]

my dads gf has a 22" widescreen Dell. I don't like widescreen format it's wierd. And I don't want my monitor to have anything to do with dell unless I got there 30"

Second one has better specs (viewing angle, contrast, brightness), but it has crap response time. You will notice ghosting. First one is a huge ripoff. Over $300 USD? I got better specs for $250 CDN. Check out the Samsung 931BF. 2ms (GtG), 700:1 (2000:1 dynamic), 19", 300 cd/m². The only reason to get the second one is to watch movies, and it's not even a widescreen!

But if you don't care about price, go and look for a 2ms (GtG usually), 300 cd/m², 700:1 contrast minimum. 20" or more is also nice if your computer can handle games at the native resolution. Also check dead pixel policy. I don't know the average number, but under 8 is good, I'd say. Some might handle a cluster of dead pixels differently. Stuck pixels (displaying r, g, or b) generally don't count, and can sometimes be fixed with a stuck pixel fixer.
