[Playaa]

have I just been away from Hardware this long? Have the prices of Flat Panels really dropped so much or is this page...abnormal?

I got my 15" for like $350 and I still use it to this day lol

I recently (last 6 mos or so) picked up a pair of SCEPTER 20G NagaIIIs from costco

for about 320 each. They're not the best LCD's I've used, but for the price point they are really good.

I only have a few complaints with them

 

1) There is a fairly obnoxious big blue light on the front of them (the scepter logo is

backlit in blue when active, and blinks red when asleep)

2) I have one dvi and one vga output on my video card. The display I have connected on

the VGA side occasionally (2 or 3 times a week) seems to lose focus. It's easliy fixed

by putting an image of a small checkboard pattern on the display and hitting the re-calibrate

button.

3) There is no height adjustment on the mount. (though they are VESA 100 compatible so I can

by a different mount, but those things are $$)

when I was searching around I came across this company that makes Flat Panels called "Hanns-G". I noticed their prices were quite cheap so I looked up information on them...they are ALL over the internet and every single review I found said something like:

"I had never heard of Hanns-G but with a price like that I couldn't pass it up. I looked up reviews and they were all great. I got one and I love it, it's totally worth the price."

Apparently they're cheap because they don't offer alot of frills (like RCA input or USB Ports, etc.).

From what I have read if anyone is in the market for a Flat Panel...check these things out:

Newegg has some

reference sake, they have 19" Widescreens as low as $180

yea back when you suckas where dishing out the $$$ for 15 ms 17" flat panels that looked like poo. I was spending 70 bucks on a 21" CRT, that I still use today.

 

although I would like to have a 24" LCD now
