Advice On A New Monitor.

I am in need of a new monitor. I've been told a flat screen monitor
is the way to go. Could anyone advise me of a good one? I don't want
to spend a lot of money on one. I have no idea how much they cost,
but I was hoping to spend approximately $400. and under.
Thank you all in advicance.

Sorry about the typo, what I meant was "advance".

Your local Staples store should carry both of these models.

I suggest you shop in person to see exactly whay you're buying. Also,
Staples Canada has a very good return policy in the event of dead or stuck
pixels. Do not be tempted to purchase any extended warranty.


Canada Computers is another good retailer in and around TO.

I checked out Staples website for this one:Samsung 940NW LCD Monitor,
19"
and it's exactly as you described. Right now they are out of stock,
but I'm in no hurry. I can wait. It's a great price and a 3 year
warranty!
It's getting close to Christmas so I don't want to spend too much on
myself.
I will indeed report back and let you know how it went.
Again thank you so very much Brett. :-)

Before we can advise you on monitor - what do you want to do on the PC?

Photo/video editing requires perfect colour reproduction, so generally
advise CRT

Gaming requires fast refresh, so expensive LCD or CRT.

General Windows work - anything.

What resolution are you used to / do you want?

What are your thoughts on deskspace (actual desk - where the keyboard/mouse
is). Tight on space - get an LCD, plenty of space - save money and get CRT.

Etc.

Forgive me but I don't know computers as well as you folks. What I do
is just general email, type manuscripts, etc. What I do daily is view
photographs and seeing the proper exposure and colour is important to
me. I don't use Photoshop but I do use Microsoft Office Picture
Manager. Only to crop or adjust exposure on certain photos.

Just a small nit-pick that may save you a smidgeon of confusion.

The term "flat screen" is risky. It was originally (and still is actually)
used to describe standard CRT monitors which happened to have a flat-ish
screen in front. If, for instance, you look on craigslist.com for "flat
screen" you will find multiple folks selling these.

The only reason I bring this up is that you may not want to jump in your car
and drive 45 minutes for the "flat screen" that is on sale for $40.

I understand. Thanks for that heads-up!
