Default TFT Monitors
Ok, I am probably gonna get me a new Monitor around Xmas time and was unsure what to get. I currently have a Samsung 17" Sync Master 750s CRT monitor, but its at least three years old and its about time I got myself a nice new upgrade. I am definately gonan get a TFT Monitor I think...still undecided on whether to get a 17" or a 19", but Im thinking if Im gonna upgrade, I may as well upgrade properly and buy a 19"

I only have a smallish budget, well im looking to pay anything upwards to around £220. It has to be in silver too hehe.

I have seen this on Amazon and it looks rather good. Basic, but I dont use it for gaming or anything so I thought this might be alright.

Samsung 913V 19" 12ms TFT LCD Monitor Silver... Samsung 913V 19" 12ms TFT LCD Monitor Silver...
Can the JT PC Freaks help me chose one?

Iv got a 17inch monitor and it seems massive, cant imagine using a 19" one all the time. Have you checked it will fit in you "office/cupboard"???

I like the colour though

I thought about getting one myself for Xmas, but I'd rather get a new hard drive instead, I'm happy enough with a 17" CRT

Carli, yeah it should fit no problem. Only just like, but yeah a 19" would be fine,. Id save so mcuh room at the back of the 'room' with a flat screen. I have been using a 17 monitor for three years now, and a few mates have 19" monitors, so perhaps im a little jealous. I dont have a widescreen TV in my room, so it would be nice to be able to watch dvds on a cool 19" monitor if necessary

Neil, I need a new HDD as well, but I am thinking this is more for the long term future. I would fill another HDD really easily. I just have to start backing data onto dvd more often and I should be fine. When you think about it 240gb (2x120GB HDD's) should really be enough for anyone. As long as my new job goes well and I am saving enough for the tour, I will get a nice 320GB HDD to replace 1x120GB

I have a 40gb HD at the moment, I don't know how I manage lol

If you really think its worth it for you then go for it, why not go for a widescreen monitor even. If you don't do much other than web browsing though a huge monitor isn't exactly a neccesity I think, moreso for people who play games and do lots of multimedia work.

Me either to be totally honest, but firstly, I need a upgrade anyway, coz im sick of having a CRT, and it will save me having to buy a new television as well, which could set me back another couple of hundred quid, so my purchasing a larger monitor, I kinda kill two birds with one stone, if ya get me...

Well if you wanted a new TV then why not try to spend slightly less on a monitor and buy a TV card for your pc aswell?

Nah, it woulnt feel right watching Corrie on my PC LOL! It is a good idea though. A TV card might be quite usefull, especially to 'rip' shows. How much are they anyway?
