Need I new monitor. My old 20" LCD Dell is on life support. No complaints got
used as a gift many years ago.
My budget is in the $150 range and the primary use is for graphic arts
(commercial but not too color sensitive) and secondarily for general web
browsing/email.
First question, which would be the better 780p or 1080p. I think this
has to do with visual lines per inch. I assume the higher "p" the better
but really don't know.
The monitors of interest is Hannspree 225DPB available at the local Staples
office supply that I could not find the "p" rating. The advantage is I can pick
this one up tomorrow and no lost time.
The other finalist is a ViewSonic 2260wm from ComputerGeeks. This has the 1080p
spec and I know as a long time commercial printer and as a much less qualified
graphics artist that ViewSonic has a good track record, I still use one of
their old CRT's for personal use that I got from FreeCycle. I have never heard
of Hannspree and assume it is some Staples' house brand.
The cons for the ViewSonic is the time and shipping. It will cost an extra week
and about $20 extra for shipping after adjusting for the local sales tax at
Staples.
What da'yah think of the choices?? Also open to other monitor suggestions as
well. I do have a few spare CRT's I can use until a new monitor arrives from
far
