My ViewSonic Monitor died

[madmax]

:cry: I've had 3 of them over the years. Now I need to buy a new monitor and my tech guy isn't around to ask advice. So here I am.

I don't do anything 'special' with my computer, no gaming or anything like that. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated :hi:

1. RIP Viewsonic

Great screens, ain't they?

Just buy the BIGGEST one you can afford :evilgrin: You will not be sorry.

I replaced the Viewsonic 17in LCD with a 22in LG and am pretty happy with colour etc. I don't like Benq screens.

2. Yep, never had a problem with VS

There is an Acer 20" LCD for 99.00. Mostly 5 star reviews - 25 of them. What do you think? I'll pay more for a better monitor but, wow that's some price and a nice size :evilgrin:

3. Be a devil

4. And then there is this one

5. Do it!!!!

And if you do, it won't be long before looking at a smaller screen is weird and somehow poverty stricken.

6. I hear ya

I have a perfectly good 13" Viewsonic in the original box in a closet. We moved last year and are down to one desktop. I could use that but, the dead Viewsonic is 17" - I know it's only 4" but, hey 4" is ... ah, well 4"!!

Ok, it's settled - I'll get it. The 22" one - for 140. Thanks Canetoad :toast:
