Cheapest 17" monitor with upto 1600X1200 resolution

[abhijit_reddevil]

Hi friends,

Can you suggest the same and also the price?

Thanks.

[AlienTech]

I am not sure but maybe the viewsonic is the only one which does this. But not very well. Even 1280x1024 is getting high up there. 17's are mainly for 1028x768 resolutions.. its under rs7000.

[siriusb]

Yea. Even at 1280x1024, 17 inchers show itty-bitty sized texts. You better get lcd 15 or 17 inchers for high resolutions. Or go for a 19 incher.

[abhijit_reddevil]

Ok, suggestions for monitors with upto 1280X1024 resolution?

If u want strictly resoultions like 1600x1200 then go for 19' ......

[Keith Sebastian]

You should spec the refresh rate too. See that your screen gives atleast 75Hz at your desired res.

17" NON FLAT 5300
FLAT 6500
Samsung nd lg...
I dont think 17" crts will support 1600*1280 res.The most comfortable resolution is 1152*864

ok thanks!!!

My Gateway VX 700 suppports 1600x1200 but at 60 Hz but text becomes too small too read at that res.. I use it at 1024x768 100 Hz.

[john_the_ultimate]

1600 X 1200 may not be possible for 17". I use Samsung 793s 17" monitor @ 1280 X 768 at 32-bit with 85 Hz refresh rate, anything above it and screen flickers. Max resolution supported 1280 X 1024 @ 60 Hz.

[devilhead_satish]

For a 17incher u wont get a resolution of 1600*1200. All u will get is 1280*1024. I use an LG700E. Its cool.

100 hz is cool ! i m looking for 100 hz @ 1024*768 too...do u get them in india?! how much did u buy it for and frm whr?

[asdf1223]

according to digit acer ac715 supports 1600*1200 @ 75hz.it should do well i guess.since its the digit 17inch winner

[teknoPhobia]

It's from my cuz, he used to have a gateway comp, when he shifted back to india, he agreed to bring the monitor back for my use. I doubt you'll get that any more for its a 2000 manufacture model and no, there is still no loss of brightness in the crt.

How do you get 75HZ when only 60HZ is supported??
I was able to go up to 100Herts in monitor settings but I dont think it really sets the monitor at those rates...

[AlienTech]

Thats intresting... I was able to set my Samsung 793MB to 1280x1024 @ 120 HZ... Even though the specs say it will only go to 60HZ...

I have the stupid 753s monitor and when I ret to "overclock" it, I get out of synch errors even with extra 1Hz
Is there more to it than just increasing the vsynch then, alientech?

I was able to go up to 100Herts in monitor settings but I dont think it really sets the monitor at those rates...

Its 85Hz and not 75Hz. Read carefully and 60Hz is for 1280X1024 but I use 1280 X 768 which supports 85Hz. Got it.....

[AlienTech]

Go to display properties, Settings -> advanced, Monitor and uncheck Hide modes that this monitor cannot display. If the monitor looses Sync after a change just wait 15 seconds and the old desktop comes back.

Just tested it on my Samsung 750s which also does 120HZ @ 1280x1024...

[john_the_ultimate]

Thanks for the advice. I would definitely try it.
