Its Time to Upgrade: Widescreen LCD Monitors
I have been rocking dual monitors since 2005 with great results. Until recently I have been using a pair of 17″ Dell 4:3 units with no complaints. Well, about 6 weeks ago my computer died and I had to overhaul the entire machine. I decided I might as well upgrade the monitors too. I have a bit of a fetish for Samsung displays, already owning a 42″ 720p LCD and a 58″ 1080p Plasma so I wanted to stick with the same brand for my new monitors. After some research and price comparison, I choose this 22″ model from Samsung. A few of the highlights: ridiculously bright, I had to turn down the level and its still makes my Dells look yellow in comparison; 8000:1 contrast ratio and 2 MS response time all for $279 after rebate plus you get free shipping right now.
A few notes though. This model does not have a built-in USB hub or adjustable height. That is just fine for my setup, but if its not right for you, consider this Samsung ($319). Its a few dollars more and drops to a 5 MS response time but you get the USB ports and heights adjustment which may be well worth the trade off.
