I was thinking of getting a new monitor, because mine has this stupid green tinge to it, as some of you may have seen at QGL :D.

I was looking for a 19" for no more then about $500. These are the two that I am thinking about at the moment.

Hitachi CM715
Samsung 955DF

Any comments or suggestions would be muchly appriciated :)

I know for one thing that the Samsung is the choice out of those two. it's got a very nice picture. can you get it under $500 though ?!?

I can get it for like $506 :D

Mattac, Umart have the Samsung 957 for $412.

INCREDIBLE DEAL ON NEW 19

The NEW Samsung 957P Professional monitor is a steal at $412 (about $200 less than RRP). It is not a flat screen but the quality is superb. Max res : 1920 x 1440 recomended : 1280 x 1024 @ 85Hz. Full 3 yr onsite limitted warranty.

Hee, happy? :)

Im using a magview 19incher at the moment. Cost about 350, not a bad monitor, but it is generic, and if it ever does break, dont expect to get it fixed in a very short amount of time unless you are willing to fork out some cash =P

Its a reliable, good quality monitor though, 1600x1200 60hz, i can handle 60hz tho, if your willing to run it at a lower res (1280x1024) you could run it at 85 hz, which is good for yer eyes =P

EDIT: Although, as soon as i forked over the cash for this monitor, the prices dropped on everything... grrr... Same thing happened when I got a new printer =P

Hitachi CM715

the CM721F is damn good for the few extra bucks.

:)

I have a Hitachi 615 here, if the 19" equivalent is just as good and bigger, it'd be a great buy...

sony!@#

ok existance put me down for a 19" sony for 500 bucks u f***ing dickweed.

Yeah Sony's are really good...Xcept that I don't have one and they cost to much ! :/

Yup, $966 is the cheapest I know of locally.

the CM721F is damn good for the few extra bucks.

Yep - UMART have them on special at the moment. Bought mine for $595 last week :)

Hmm now I would have to say it's between the two Hitachis, the CM715 and the CM721

Screw it, get the Samsung on special. Its supposed to be like $600+ RRP, get it for $200 off...

CM715 19” General Purpose CRT Monitor $649 RRP

So is the hitachi... and the hitachi seems to have much higher refresh rates.

Oh and thanks for the help :)

My dad's met the big important dude who runs Hitachi.

wow kieran! we needed to know that why?

that is VINTAGE existence

typing "sony!!!"

mate. not many people have mummies and daddies that pay for all their stuff..

shnookums

Fwoar, sifnt the samsung thats a nice monitor :)

get a sony 17" then?
19 maybe to expensive but a awesome quality 17" is better than an average 19"

imo, a 19" monitor is too big to be carrying to lans anyway..
