What monitor should I get?

[mex78753]

I now have 62k points on ftp but I dont know which to get. The 20" doesn't say it's an lcd (is it one anyway, if not what's the difference?) and the 19" says it has 8m's response time vs the 20"s 6m's response time. I dont know much about monitors so maybe you guys can help me differentiate between the 2.

Do you play poker? If so, you'll want 1600x1200 resolution for multi-tabling on sites that don't support resizable screens. Try checkingout the ComputerTech forum's FAQ for more detail.

edit: Just saw the differences in price. For a 4% increase, get the 204BW. If that's the biggest monitor you can get, it still won't have 1600x1200 (Note the W.) but it's a good monitor.

the 20 inch. Bigger almost always better.

The samsung is a great LCD panel, but I also prefer the 4:3 screens that can do 1600x1200.

I personally would figure out which FTP items give you the best $/point ratio and pick among your favorites there.
