Default computer monitor

k, so i for real need to get a new monitor for my desktop. i rearranged my desk setup and have my monitor pushed further back and it's getting a bit tedious working on this 17" piece for long periods of time. i want to get something around 20-22".

will it suck if i don't have HD output from my desktop? i bought this dell back in late '05.

anyone know of any decent deals? TIA

it'd only be good if your computer was outputting in full hd. just using it for regular stuff, you're not gonna need fancy stuff, at least in my opinion.

:yes:

When researching a monitor, it turns out I made a minor discovery. I'm a "hardcore" gamer. I needed a display that met several criteria:

1. 1080p.
2. Multiple inputs. VGA = analog. DVI = PC digital. HDMI = home entertainment digital.
3. Low response time. Anything above 2ms will not do. Monitor lag is the difference between winning and losing.
4. Relative value.

The Asus MS238H is a monster. At $200, you will not find another LED (not LCD) display. This has an insane contrast ratio (10,000,000:1) when compared to LCD monitors (10,000:1).

Here it is.


When I unboxing, I pooped myself. The screen is as thick as a DVD case.
