For people who know a lot about LCD's, I'm thinking of buying one, but being pretty uninformed about the latest trends, i thought i'd ask over here.
Here is the DELL flat panel which i want to buy today:
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.asp?Sku=320%2D0525&spagenum=1&category_id=210&keyword=&mnf=&prst=0&prEnd=0&mnfsku=&orderby=&SearchType=&customer_id=19&Pageb4Search=&page=productlisting%2Easp&icompatid=&instock=0&refurbished=
The deals today drop the price down to $370, shipped....
But, i am concerned about 2 things:
1. DVI input, this monitor doesn't have it, how important is it?
my Vid card doesnt have DVI output now, but i will upgrade the card soon enough and could buy a card with DVI out.
2. Image contrast ratio. This monitor has 350:1 , and i heard that this is low / middle range. Is this important? I dont play many games, btw.
And 3rd, is this a good price? I know its a good deal for this month, butWho thinks the price will drop significantly within the next 3 months?
TIA,
