    I bought a 22" proview from walmart and I really like it. I think it was like $304 or so after tax.

    I got another 19" Widescreen for $139.00 off Ebay.





    Big Enough. . for me.

    So you can pay $300 for (1) 22" widescreen or get (2) 19" widescreens for $278 and have 16" More.

    I could probably sell my 17" for like $100 too. I guess I'll look into that.

    Here are the ones I got (yes 2 of them);

    I looked at the equivalent samsung model and the picture was the same. They must use the same panels in their screens since the specs are exactly the same and I could not tell the difference between the 2 when I put them side by side. The main reason I got the LG was that the Bezel is thinner than the samsung model so when putting them side by side the gap is half the size on the LG's. Also the samsung bezel is SHINY and reflects light too easy and is rather distracting...

    Seriously, you need to clean your PC and peripherals.

    Take this scenario:
    -Playing BF2 in your dusty screen...
    -You see some movement in the distance...
    -You go to wipe the screen and the sniper shoots you.
    -You think: "I would've seen him too, if it wasn't for that meddling dust!"


    Besides that, I hope the inside of the PC is cleaner than that for the sake of you components temperatures.

    Here is a 22" that doesn't have a shiny bezel. It's 270 after $20 MIR. It also has a pretty slim bezel. The only thing is it's 700:1 contrast and 5ms response time. If I could afford it right now, I would get 2 of them....but wouldn't know what to do with all that space.

    I looked at the 225BW as well. They are nice, have a better base than the LG (I HATE the LG base because it tends to want to tip over, but that will not be a problem after I make my own base that will hold both of them) and yes the bezel is nice and thin and NOT shiny. The main downside to the 225bw is the contrast ratio. Other than that it looked good too. The 225bw was my second choice. Definitely worth the price!

    I have a 17" samsung with a 600:1 and it is plenty, I have never seen any issues with the picture. I don't do any "hardcore" photoshop where that is demanding. I use it for gaming and light photoshop and it is nice.
