How is this for a monitor?

gsteffens · 05-21-2008, 11:51 AM

My mom just hooked me up with a $75 gift card to Dell because she buys a fair amount of stuff there. Are their monitors any good?

I was looking at this one

Dell 19" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor

I have the MSI 8800GTS G92 which I think supports up to two monitors so this one should be cake.

BTW I have an old beater monitor we had laying around at the fire station hooked up to it now, and it looks amazing on that compared to what I am used to.

It is alright. Looks like a rebranded Samsung.

Samsung make the vast majority of LCD panels, it will be an older model Samsung with dell on it.

and in being an older samsung, would it be an all right one? I don't need anything insane. And i'd like to put the gift card to good use, and i need a monitor.

Yes it will be just fine. My Samsung is about 3 years old ans still rocks and has no dead or stuck pixels.
