Help me pick a new monitor

[Linkin Park]

Hi, recently my Gateway 19" monitor died on me and i need a replacement. After some researchign ive come up w/ these and was wondering which one i should get. Any Input would be great

21" Dell/Sony P1110
MITSUBISHI DIAMOND PLUS 2020U 22"
Mitsubishi 930SB 19"
22" Compaq/Mitsubishi P1120 .24

I have the Dell P1130, have had it for 2 years now, and it is a very good monitor great refresh rates, great sharp vivid display, can do 1600x1200 at 100 Hz, has higher resolutions also, all in all it's an awesome monitor! (I'm pretty sure P1130 is the same tube as P1110, but in the newer casing)

I had the P1110 for about two years, until I coaxed them into replacing it with a P1130 (Seeing as the P1110 does not exist anymore). Both are very good monitors and I would recomend them.

Samsung 900IFT or similare series... it's 19".... it's pretty cheap in price for a professional monitor... 1920x1440 res at 68hz is nothing to snear at as i had it at 72hz with refresh force.... 1600x1200 is rated 75hz.. however it run 85 barely.. but heh... what's 84hz?........ most excellent... and the dot pitch is amazing.. i've yet to see a triniton monitor look this good....

They're all good, and among those, you'd probably notice a difference only in a side by side comparison. when shopping, look at the dot or aperture pitch (the lower the better - ..24 or lower generally) and the video bandwidth specification (the higher the better - look for 200Mhz and up).

The dot pitch tells you something about the smallest detail that can accurately be displayed on the screen at high resolutions without the details spilling across the dots...

The video bandwidth tells you about how fast the electron beam inside the picture tube (CRT) can move across the screen, as well as how fast that beam can be turned on and off. It determines how sharp text and edges of any character or graphic can be shown.

Finally, after looking at the monitors rated performance by those two figures, the most important thing to think about is the reliability of the unit. Those you're looking at are very good reliability wise - Samsung too by the way... About the only way to determine reliability is to comb the web for user experiences and comments, and to think about how long the company has been in the business of making monitors and supporting their customers in case of warranty issues.

Happy shopping!

I had a 19inch and loved it. Buy now i might as well upgrade to the 21inch if possible if not i can just settle for another 19inch.
