Default find me a cheap LCD monitor, win $$$

looking for a NEW monitor to play poker on bigger than like 20" preferably around 22'

I always thought the widescreens sucked for poker but it looks like thats all they have when u get bigger than like 20'...?

will ship $5- $10 to whoever finds me a good one in the next 15min or so

EDIT- 1 more thing- it needs to be able to hook up to a 13' macbook.... I tried to hook upa 19' widescreen up to it and none of the resolutions worked... solutions?

this is practically what i currently have and im very happy with it. its the LG L1996W http://us.lge.com/products/model/detail/...196WTQ-BF.jhtml

if you want something 20"+ you can opt for their new 24" widescreen

i really dont want your money if you choose this monitor but if you want to donate somewhere donate what you wouldve given me to your local ASPCA chapter.

isnt LG a lil pricey? also, the 19' i was hooking my macbok up to was that same monitor i think... It didn't work for some reason. The best resolution had a clear picture but only took up about 3/4 of the monitor

i got mine for $260 i think which didnt seem too bad. i havent had any problems with it yet and im not really sure what to tell you about your resolution problem. i run normally on 1440x900 with no problems encountered yet.

the only problem i ever had was hooking it up and finding one burnt out pixel which i had to go back to the store to get another monitor. that didnt cost me any extra money, just time to go bring it back. i heard that finding a burnt out pixel in lcds isnt too uncommon so i wasnt worried about it.

im just not sure on this so i cant be sure if it would work or not with a MAC.

I got a Gateway FPD2275W from Circuit City for $400 in January. Walked in and walked out - no complaints. If you can afford it tho - get a 24". I would of, if I had the extra $200+.
