Question Recommend a Monitor you like

My monitor is dying and I would like to replace it with a 22" (due to the size of my cabinet) flat screen monitor. Naturally, I would like the graphics resolutions to be as good as I can afford which is around $300. Do any of you have suggestions? Thanks. Denise

Personally, I don't think you can go wrong with Viewsonic monitors ... I've been purchasing them for years and I'm very happy with my current 22" flat screen.

BTW, Mentor, eh? I'm in North Canton ... we're pretty darn close to each other!

Before I got my Apple Cinema HD monitor, I used Viewsonic and BenQ monitors and had been very happy with them. They both seem extremely reliable for monitors. I still use my 19" BenQ as my second monitor.

BenQ has a HD 21.5" widescreen 1920 x 1080 resolution monitor which fits your price range and is on sale with shipping included for $230 until tomorrow ($290reg) direct from BenQ.

Pattie,
North Canton, imagine that. I guess I have never noticed the NE Ohio designation by your photo. Thanks for the suggestion and all of your designs! Denise

Hi
Just wanted to thank you for your recommendation of the Dell monitor. I got one for just over $200 and think it is great! Almost as clear as my old CRT.

Default Bought a Dell

Thanks everyone for your help. I did a lot of research and looking at the actual displays and landed on a Dell. I bought it on line for just over $200 and had it in a few days. Set up was a breeze and it is almost as clear as my old CRT and the colors are A LOT BETTER. Now when I look at some of my pages I'm surprised at some of the colors ... oh well.
