Ok I have a cheap 19" CRT now but I really cant stand it. I was thinging about getting a 17" LCD which would be great size for my desk. I have this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824009027
acer AL1715B Black 17" 12ms LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 450:1 0.264mm Pixel Pitch - Retail.

Does anyone have any opinions on this monitor? It got goor reviews and seems to be a good price. I cannot spend over $250 and that must inclde shipping. If anyone know of any other LCD's that may be good in that price range let me know. thanks alot.

Dude you can get a SAMSUNG Syncmaster at bestbuy for 249 last time I checked.

bummer they went back to 349 with a 30 dollar rebate, Im sure you can find them for less.

DONT get a cheap monitor with 12ms.

my guess is that your current 19" is ghosting and looks like crap and your not complaining bout the screen size. i got a 19" Samsung 930B and its a badass lil monitor. the 17" version is basically the same thing with just a different panel. i recommend their SyncMaster series monitors. ( the <=12ms ones)
