Flat-panel resolution
Do any 19" or smaller flat-panel monitors support resolutions above 1280x1024? The only ones I have been able to find are 21" and I dont want to spend almost a grand on a monitor, but 400-500 would be ok. At least 1600x1280 is what im looking for.

Actually, if you look at the specifications further down the page, the monitor is only 1280x1024 max resolution.

My original post was going to say "I think that you can only get 1600x1200 on 20"+ panels"...but figured I'd do a Google search first. Guess that blew up in my face |

Yeah, Ive never seen anything different than the standard 1280x1024 for a 19" monitor. You could probably find higher if you really dug around and bought some ultra high-end screen, but you'd pay out the ass for it, to the point that itd probably be cheaper to just buy a bigger LCD.

Yet I have a three-year-old laptop with a 15" 1600x1200 native LCD, and we still can't get anywhere near the same in a desktop version. Why is that? I won't buy any monitor that doesn't support at least 1600x1200, but the larger LCDs are too expensive to justify buying one to replace this Trinitron I got for $20.

I'm actually going through a similar delima. I'm tired of my 17'' CRT with 1280x1024 max. I want something bigger...a lot bigger. This weekend I almost spent $999.99 on a Sceptre 30'' LCD TV Monitor, until I looked at TV monitors at CompUSA today and decided they looked like crap as a monitor, and only have a 1280x768 resolution.
I switched my search over to just large LCDs. I found a great 20.1'' Sony that looks huge, and has a 1600x1200 resolution. CompUSA wanted $899 for it, but found it at newegg.com for only $710! I ordered it this afternoon. I'll let you know how it is when it arrives later this week. I realize $710 is still a bit out of your prefered price range, but from what i've been able to find, it's about the best you'll be able to do for a LCD with that kind of resolution. EDIT: Actually, check out newegg.com: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...9:9240&bop=and Scroll down a bit. They have a 20'' Sceptre LCD with the high res for only $529. They have a bunch in the $600 range too Last edited by todd; 06-06-2005 at 05:07 PM.. |
