well
my wife is looking for 18" but i think they only do up to 17". the FP791 looks good. dabs do it for 399 smackeroonies...my own pref is for 18" too - but keep that to yourself - as milan will know, the .NOT IDE is v screen hungry.Comment

Re: well
18" won't make any difference with LCD screens the resolution of 17-19" screens are all 1280 by 1024. You'll need to find a laptop screen or go up to 20" or above to get anything bigger resolution wise (pixel wise a 19" merely has bigger pixels compared to a 17").Comment

lcd
eek is correct about the resolutions. I use a 19" Nokia crt which does 1600x1200 (although I use it in 1200x1024)
however this is a sample of what my supplier lists
tft monitors:
samsung
18" 181T 1280x1024 list £521 trade £434
they also list a 19" 191T 1280x1024list 525 trade 450 but I cannot see any stock so it might be new or discontinued.
Fujitsu
17" TL775 LCD list 488 trade 275
20" 5110FA 1600x1200 List 1125 trade 825
Teco/Relisys
TL970 19" 1280x1024 list 599 trade 405
TL965 19" 1280x1024 list 575 trade 395
TL766 17" 1280x1024 list 340 trade 280 in black or 10 cheaper for ivory
Acer
19" AL922 1280x1024 list 475 trade 460
+vat / delivery etc
you would have to look up the specs online to see what inputs (analogue / dvi/etc), sound / mic / usb hub etc they come withComment

16ms ?
presumable 16ms rise time ? need to be careful - some vendors quote response area as rise and fall some response time as just rise - I am not aware of anything that does 16ms rise and fall.
Remember that most very few companies actually make the raw screens, they buy in the screen and fit their own case/connector/speakers, etc
look at contrast and brightness as well and see if you can get quality info - some manufacturers have different standards about num,bers and location of dead or live pixels.
Acer have 15ms rise, 10ms fall
Teco quote 20ms for the 766, 25 for the 970
Samsung say < 25ms
17" fujitsu = 40ms
benq do an 18" 1280x1024 but response time is 50ms (30 rise 20 fall)Comment
