Over the last 2/3 days my current desk hog of a 17″ crt monitor has started making the occasion popping sounds when turning it on, thought nothing of it at first but its never done it before and I have a hunch its going to die on me, of course not wanting that to happen I had a brief search of the web on buying a tft monitor for gaming purposes, found a website on the pitfalls of buying one and what to look out for and I also ask a friend about it also, told them my reasons and they said that the tube on my monitor could be about to go.

I did a bit of searching at the ebuyer website and I have picked the following monitor, it seems to fit just everything I read about and it was an ok price I thought. Mind you if I am honest the fact that it said “Gamers TFT” in the title of it probably swayed me more than a little bit, anyway this is the monitor I haven’t ordered it yet though Acer AL1751BS 17″ Monitor.

I had a bit of a chat to a few friends about what to look for and that kinda thing and one of them mentioned that they had a Samsung Syncmaster 913N so I had a bit of a look at that and thought it was alright, I didn’t immediately notice that it was a 19″ monitor at first, so I asked them if there’s was a 19″ as I had originally only been looking at 17″ ones as thats what my current crt monitor is, and they mentioned that it would be good the 19″ as less eye strain and that, so well I was convinced by what they said and have ordered a Samsung Syncmaster 920N, I asked the same friend about the monitor as I was a little unsure whether to get that one or not purely cause it was a little cheaper apparently its an updated 913N same features just cheaper for some reason. Its being delivered to me on 07/11/2006 i’m off work for 3 days after its arrived so I will be able to give it a good test run of how it performs. I think it’ll be a fine monitor tho.
