IlliniKrush Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I'm looking to get a flat panel monitor for my PC. I think it'd be nice to have because it would take up a lot less room on my desk at school, and i hear the picture is much more clear, etc. For those of you who have them...is it worth it to get one? If so, any recommendations on brand or size? Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsSuck1 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I'm assuming you want flat panel as well. I have one that's only about 14 inches or so and I belive it cost about $300, but don't quote me on it. It's a Gateway FPD1530, and it looks really nice. It does save a ton of space and I would reccomend getting one if you can afford one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniKrush Posted June 17, 2004 Author Share Posted June 17, 2004 Duh, i meant flat panel...stupid me Thanks for the input, if it's worth it i'll have one by fall. I can probly get the parents to pay for a bit of it too because it's "school related" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I never realized what a space saver a flat panel was, until I got it on my desk. We got ours with our new Dell PC last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 I'm about to purchase my computer for school pretty soon. I think I finally decided to go with the desktop instead of the laptop. I was definitely leaning towards a flat panel though; I've yet to hear a negative thing about them from my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the money, for the little extra I'd go with a laptop, for the portability. There's a lot of times you'll wish you had. If $$ is a consideration, desktops are the way to go (better bang for the buck). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
