We look at them everytime we use our PC's, we never talk about them though
Mine's a VIewsonic 15" w/DVI, its a beauty.

So same 'criticism' as levelled at the 'which motherboard is best' thread .. - What's this in 'terms of ' ? Value, Clarity & features, Reliability, yada yada ?

(sadly you can't edit your own polls btw ! , but you can edit your top post to make matters clearer & effectively add to the poll)

So btw its multi-choice is this poll as I just discovered after I voted

..confus-ed again !

- SO I wanted to vote LG for 'value', sony for 'picture' & Illayma for 'lastability' ..

.. look inside or up on the web & its Samsung !

One of those trade name thingees ? - anyway they are better than lg !

i dont think so, lg and samsung are another set of co's like ati and nvidia that have a conspiracy going, as soon as one releases something the other has one ready same specs and all, too much coincidence

This figuring out who really makes what buisness is hard sometimes because they can buy stuff from one guy & put them in a case, stick a different label on a mouse etc though my medion mouse shows as samsung & the last other thing I can remember medion was someones pc, with samsung stuff mostly.

Alidi buy lots of strange stuff bulk & surplus then 'pile it high & sell it cheap', maybe they just like samstung stuff & medion put 'whatever' together for 'em? Badging up monitors & cases isn't very hard is it ?

Hav'nt voted yet , trying to see if KDS is related to any of those in poll ,
anyways mine is KDS Xflat 17" and have been happy with it .
Would like to get a 19" Flat Panel someday when prices come down to my
range (cheap) .

I have a 19" AOC GLRS. Not the best monitor under the sun but its worked great for roughly 3 years now. I plan on using it until it more or less blows up or I can get a Nice 19" LCD @ a descent price.

I have a nice 17" Dell and a 17" Gateway, I always seem to be in charge of inventory where ever I work

**Spork** · June 8th, 2004, 08:32 AM

I have a 17" Sony CPD-200ES that I absolutely love... until I get my new 21" LCD.

Dell and Gateway? Aren't they rebadged, as well?
Sony's are way expensive, but really high quality with a noticeable difference in "picture" quality.
The way I see this one is sort of like Televisions. In the same size range you can see a big difference in price, quality and warranty. So, with TV's, I'll pay the extra bucks and someone always seems to notice how good the picture is.
PS
Even amongst the various manufacturer's, don't many use Sony and Mitsubishi "tubes"?

I have an LG 795 plus Flatron monitor (17 inch). It's about 4 years old right now and it still goes like a champ. very crisp and clear. When i worked at one tech shop, they sold LG almost exclusively (you could order in a brand name). Over a 3 year period, 1500+ monitors where sold, only 3 defective monitors where returned in that period of time.

That says something IMHO
