opinion(s) on this 22" LCD monitor for PC ?

<< < (4/4)

drunkatuw:
I got this monitor at best buy for $199 (they didn't hand out tickets for it at the best buy I was waiting at).

I have it hooked up via DVI connection and it's rock solid so far.  Great for movies and also gaming.  Took a while to get all my games to be configured for widescreen, but now everything is great.

I was reading reviews for this monitor and people were saying it was a bargain at the sale price of $399 (best buy's normal price is $499), so I figured it was a no brainer to pick it up at $199.

I chose to get this one over the 19" at best buy and the 20" at staples because this one has component and s-video hookups so I can hook up my xbox 360 or any other video device in a pinch.

ChadTower:

The reviews must be old.  We're getting 32" monitors for just over $500 now.  $400 for a 20" isn't a bargain anymore.

Whoa whoa whoa.  Snaake, that's your problem.  You've got the resolution set wrong.  If you use 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 it's going to look all wrong cos stuff is stretched.  You need to be using a resolution like 1920x1200 or something.  Check the manual.  I use widescreen monitors and nothing is out of proportion.  I have more screen real estate, and I suppose if I were to watch a 4:3 TV program on it and stretch it across the screen it would look out of proportion, but MS Word and Internet and stuff look completely normal.

My guess is that you've got the wrong aspect as well as the resolution set too low.  Did you ever change that stuff after replacing your old monitor?

I'm totally kicking myself for not taking advantage of this deal. I had accepted a new job, but was noy working at the time. I just started this job, and now I'm really wishing I'd just gotten this monitor.  :banghead:

I'm just not findind any similat deals online anywhere anymore. What's everybody else finding?
