I am getting for $130 shipped this monitor: http://www.viewsonic.com/support/desktopdi.../e220/index.htm It will be shipped first so no risk...so, does it sound like a good deal?

the_PC_Chef Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 At $130 shipped, that sounds like a good price to me. I don't think your gonna find a much better deal unless you waiting to wait a couple of weeks for a coupon or an auction snipe.

Guest Retratserif Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Luckly I get 21" monitors form my office to upgrade to flats. I have 3 atm in use. I know they go for 250-300 each new. Looking at the specs, you have a steal. Go for it. I love my CRT's. Even though they are about 80 pounds each. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailindawg Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 2048x1536 @ 61Hz 1920x1440 @ 64Hz 1856x1392 @ 67Hz 1600x1200 @ 77Hz I you really don't care about 16x12, then snap it up. I looked in my local Craigslist.org and found my Sony Trinitron Multiscan500PS (with 5 component BNC cable) for $100. It pulls 16x12 @ 85 Hz. It also pulls 1024x768 @ 120 Hz and puts it into a wide screen format That was a pleasant surprise. 1024x768 never looked better. However, if 16x12 @ 77 Hz is not a deal beaker, then snap it up !

ROcHE Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Yeah do not buy that if you want to do 1600x1200 which is generally the perfect res for a 21" crt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchy2k1 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Well, they have a bit of conflicting specs. The monitor can pull 2kx1.5x at 60Hz and advertise a bandwidth of 210MHz. So, at 2Mpixel (1600x1200), it *SHOULD* be able to go up to 100Hz refresh. Most "typical" resolution that they advertised are limited to 75-85 refresh. Personnally, i need at least 100Hz to be happy. Your mileage may vary... I would say to go for it. The bandwidth spec seems to say you'll be able to go higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleDavid218 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Good deal, but LCDs have definately caught up to CRTs. I have the 21" widescreen Gateway and its sweeeeeet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaolin95 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Yeah but a gaming 21" LCD is gonna bit abit more than $130. :-) Need to check the res and refresh thing though. I normally use 85hz since my monitor is not any better than that and at 1600 I need to use 75 which is not great but better than flickering 60hz.

Guest YuKoN Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I'm using the Nokia 445ZA 21"- it's the same internally as the viewsonic. and it works great. Got mine on ebay- $50, and about $60 to ship. Same price range within a few bucks. You'll be happy with it. I run mine 24/7 at 1280x1024 @ 85hz, both for desktop and games, and have had no problems at all. and picture quality is excellent. Beats buying brand new! I give you a thumbs up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
