21"/22" monitor recommendations

[Guest Pardue802]

Currently I have two 21" monitors (NEC P1150's) on my system, but they're getting dated, have a fairly high dot pitch, and are starting to get a little blurry. I believe I'm going to sell them on eBay and use the money to buy one really good 21"/22" monitor. I originally got two monitors for use with Flight Simulator, but in honesty I really haven't come to see how it's handy. I mean, it's nice to be able to drag one's instruments onto the other screen, but that's a complicated process of jumping out of full screen in FS2004 and, well, it doesn't really seem to offer what I thought it would, not at a realistic frame rate, anyway. I think I'd rather be able to just jump the resolution up high on one monitor and fit more on it.I'd like to be able to have something that I can use with Flight Simulator, primarily. I live in a fairly small town so I don't have a lot of local resources, and I'm certainly not opposed to ordering online so long as I don't rack up shipping that costs as much as the monitor does. Any recommendations?Thanks,Kenneth

NEC's are good, or go for the models that have the trinitron technology in them, very crisp

http://www.monitorsdirect.com/Take a look at Monitors direct. I bought a 22" Cornerstone from them about two years ago. The shipping isn't all that bad considering the size of that monitor. The P1750 has worked flawlessly for me,it does have an aperture grille so you'll have the two small grey tension wires dividing the screen in thirds.They show mainly on a pure white screen,really not noticable in FS.David
