Bah Viewsonic monitor

Well today I went out to staples and bought the A70F+. I bought the A90F on monday and exchanged it for this cuz it was too big for my desk and no point cuz I couldnt go to high resolution as refresh rate was low. So now this monitor is pretty nice, not bad until I found out I was running 1280x1024 at 60herts! That is bad! The a90f I ran 75, and old monitor 75. I guess I might refund this, because I really like to use the resolution 1280x1024 and at 60herts my eyes start to act weird after a while of looking at it. Well I was reading and checking reviews and saw the syncmaster, saw it was pretty damn good and could even run 1600x1200!


Should I keep viewsonic or what?


SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 765MB 17" MONITOR
Max Resolution 1600 x 1200 / 68 Hz
Dot Pitch 0.20 mm
$267 before tax @ canadacomputers

VIEWSONIC - A70f+
1280x1024 maximum resolution @ 67 Hz
Dot Pitch 0.21 mm
$310 before tax then - $60 rebate @ staples.

BTW If I buy monitor from canadacomputers is there any refund, even if it on the same day?

I have a Viewsonic PF775... Very nice monitor. It's 0.25ag and the max res is 1600x1200 @ 75 Hz.

I also have a NEC MultiSync LCD 1530V monitor... no flickers from LCDs.

I say go and buy an LCD.

I check infonec and there seems to be a deal on the Samsung Syncmaster 171S for 665, checked reviews heard it was good rating 4.5/5 or 5/5 at most sites.

And they also have a P75F+ 17 for $285

Make sure you're thinking about places close to your house. Cuz with gasoline prices so expensive these days.. it's not worth driving around to save $10.... as you'll use it all up in gasoline.

But of course.. if you're not paying for gasoline........................... more power to you!

Um... I work @ Staples biaaaatch.
If a customer asks for help.. we help them carry the product out.. but if the customer wants the product to be carried in.. we're not really allowed to carry the product in because management did not complete the sale at that moment so they don't allow it. Although sometimes when the store's quiet.. we just do it so we have something to do.
