Which LCD panel is reliable and cheapest?

ChadTower:
Just don't call the store asking about flat panels like you did here, since a flat panel is not an LCD, it's a CRT with a flat screen.

I get exactly the opposite reaction everywhere I go.  I specifically ask about flat CRT monitors and always get directed to the LCD people.

Thanks for the advice ....

MonitorGuru:
Samsung makes one of the better (best?) crystal panels. Dell uses them in thier NON-ECONOMY ones. Their economy ones have a lower quality ones with more negativity at an angle due to a lower viewing angle.  The econo ones start with "E" in their model number (e.g. E171FP).   While their good ones don't (e.g. 1905FP).

With coupons and discounts (check bensbargains.net, techbargains.com, slickdeals.net or fatwallet.com for codes) you can get even a 19" (1905FP) for $275 this week from Dell.

In order of preference if you want to play classic video games with classic look, go with:
- Arcade monitor (or do it yourself out of a chassis+donated TV tube)
- Curved screen older PC CRT monitor (higher dot pitch)
- Flat screen PC CRT monitor
- LCD panel


Note: I don't even mention a TV with composite or svideo input as the quality just isn't there and just doesn't fit in the above list for quality for me. Even an LCD with proper lines added can probably look better than a TV setup.

"flat screen monitor" = CRT with flat tube
"flat panel monitor" = LCD or plasma monitor
