January 3, 200818 yr I posted earlier about opinions on LG 22 inch monitor at Best Buy for 280.00.Specs looked good.2 mps response,3000/1 contrasrt etc.I cashed a bunch of "ready to expire" credit card points for Best Buy gift cards.It is going to take 18 days for shipping of these cards but no shipping charges.(Wow!).Anyway,I have some time to get opinions on a good 22" or 24" monitor. Price is relevant to my opinion of best value for my dollar.Thanks in advance for your input.Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.
January 3, 200818 yr It is about 600 dollars but the Samsung 226BW is the worlds best 22 inch monitor.
January 3, 200818 yr I just purchased the 226BW at a boxing day sale (FutureShop in Canada) for $259. Its a great monitor so far. I am guessing the $600 price is for the 24 inch. although I think Futureshop had that one on sale for $399.Mark. Mark CYYZ
January 3, 200818 yr Author Best Buy lists a Samsung 22" CW.What is difference between BW & CW?Thanks,Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.
January 3, 200818 yr In the store, I saw both the 22" Samsung 226BW and the LG 22".I liked the way the view looked on the LG better.I think they use different film types (TN vs. something else) so that may account for it.I still haven't decided on what I'm going to do yet.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
January 4, 200818 yr I just purchased the LG 22 inch a couple of weeks ago. I love it! Coupled with my Nvidia 8800GTS, it is a winner. I have it running at a full 1680 width and it has no problem with FSX or FS9. I suggest that you consider it seriously.
January 4, 200818 yr Author Anyone using the Samsung 245BW?Thanks,Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.

January 4, 200818 yr Author Thanks for the info.I cashed in a bunch of CC points that were about to expire for BestBuy gift cards so I am kind of locked in there.Also,at this point I am leaning to go all the way with a Samsung 24" 245BW.No final decision till I get the gift cards which unfortunately will be 2 weeks.Ron Bring back Chief Illiniwek!University of Illinois.
