So here's the situation.

Couple of days ago I was playing around with this pellet gun I got for my birthday, the safety failed, and I accidently shot my old LCD monitor.

So now I'm shopping for a new one, down to two choices.

Choice 1;
Samsung, 19"
2 ms response time
2000:1 contrast ratio; 300 cd/m² brightness
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...ategoryId=pcmcat104900050009&id=1149205183890
Price $225.00

Choice 2;
ViewSonic 19"
8 ms response time
500:1 contrast ratio; 250 cd/m² brightness
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=202989024&adid=17662#prodInfoSec
Price $119.00

So I need a new monitor asap, please help me pick. One is much better on the eyes, the other is much better on the wallet.

Thank You,

Viewsonic manufactures garbage. I can't begin to tell you how many dead Viewsonic monitors we have around my workplace, and how many are flakey.

It's not their fault, most western companies in the consumer/prosumer eletronics market don't have their own technologies anymore.

They just buy shipments of what's produced in Taiwan, China, Singapore, South Korea and put a sticker with their brand name on it. What counts is they should be inexpensive and at least "acceptable", the rest they don't care.

At least Samsung has its own technologies, designs produces and distributes its own products. No surprise their products are better.
