Anyone own a Sony G520? or equivalent monitor? (e.g. Dell P1130?) cause i'm buying one for $120AU? And I'd get an LCD but I want a nice cheap LCD with good refresh rates etc for gaming/cad/uni work? let me know thnx pplz

I have a G500. I paid a little more than twice that for it three years ago, and I like it. It has nice, high refresh rates (800x600x150 Hz; 1024x768x144; 1280x960x100; 1600x1200x85; 2048x1536x72, which your card may not even reach), the picture is reasonably sharp (although I can see it struggling a bit around the edges at the extreme data rates), and as monitors go, it's 30 cm x 40 cm picture is LIEK OMG XBOX HUEG. I've been running it at 16x12 for the last couple of months, and 12x9 before that, and it's nice. In fact, it seems like anything lower than 12x9 is a waste (10x7 looks downdight lo-res, and you can count scanlines in 640x480). All that screen space does real good for CAD, and if you can crank it up to OMG resolutions, do it... you'll never go back (well, except if you're doing someting non-CAD). As far as gaming goes, it runs literally 28 different resolutions and aspect ratios between 320x200 and 2048x1536, which is something I've noticed LCDs don't like. The only downside to it is that that FD Trinitron tube is LIEK OMG XBOX HUEG and it weighs a fucking ton. Really, the only two ways I would go with an LCD is if you could pick up something with comparable screen size for less (good luck, and you still won't get the same resolution), or if space is a real issue.

I ended up with a Mitsubishi 2070SB-BK instead. My reds are disappointing, but refresh rates are awesome.

Lucky you, I say.

the refresh rates and the image quality is unbelievabubble! I can't believe how seriously I was handicapping my pc with the previous monitor games/video has never looked so good! and jajig I bought it off http://www.comtrader.com.au It was a private sale. And one of the best things I love about it is its perfectly FLAT ;o) my dick has never twitched so much in its life haw niggaz.

I gave myself a fucking hernia moving my last one whilst rebuilding a new desk. It was a 21" (I still have it) and the footprint is almost 2 feet and it weighs as much as an elephant... a very SMALL elephant. I loved its clarity and high refresh rates, but in the end space and practicality took the place of big ass monitor nearly hanging off my desktop with me sitting on top of it going blind. It had a silly little thing it did now and again where it would make this clicking sound and everything would be blurry and I would have to "flick" the power button a few dozen times to "snap" it out of that state. It is a trinitron flatscreen and has DELL on it...heh. It is beige and I won't lie it is beautiful, but as I said for the time I spend on it at home and the space and weight the LCD just made more practical sense in the end.
