LCD monitor recomendation

[Richard E Miles]

Hi
I 'm looking to upgrade my monitor and would like to get an LCD monitor.
Preferable a 17 inch. Can I just buy a monitor or do I have to worry 
about linux XFree86 compatibility?
Can anybody recommend a good LCD monitor?
Thanks

I have had good luck with the Dell 1702FP and the Dell E171FP.  I got
mine from the Dell outlet site at www.dell.com/outlet.

I have a Dell 1702FP at home that i bought two years ago. Works perfect,
no problem sitting staring at it for hours... Using a Nvidia card and
DVI.

[fedora] LCD monitor recomendation

[Peter Loron]

I've got a Hitachi CML175SXW, and it's great.

The things to look for in an LCD monitor are the contrast (you want at 
least 400:1) and the brightness (250cd is the min, for me anyway..300 is 
better). Refresh time is important if you are going to be playing 
"twich" games or watching video. Try for < 20ms.

If your video card has DVI output, I'd highly recommend getting an LCD 
that supports it...better image.

'Not sure if the model number is the same where you live but...

I use Samsung SyncMaster 171MP (17" w/ built-in TV tuner - 25 ms
- 500:1) and
SyncMaster 192T (19" w/ digital and analog conn - 25 ms - 500:1).
Both works great on Red Hat/Fedora!

I'm using a LG Flatron L1710B. It was auto-detected via the i845 video 
when Fedora was installed. If putting it onto an existing installation 
then selecting "Generic LCD Monitor" and "1280*1024" resolution sets
it 
up. I can't compare this with other panels as this is the only one I've 
used, but I'm very pleased with it.
