Best 19" Monitor for Racing Sims??

I have a ViewSonic G790 and wouldn't consider going back to my old 15" monitor. I don't know if the price is under $600, though. Philster

Iiyama Vision Master Pro 450 is very nice. Dunno about the cost in $US though, as I'm in the UK. I think it's about 450 over here, could be wrong though... Mike West. 3DNow! UK: www.3dnow.freeserve.co.uk

I have had great luck with a Philips Mag 109s approx $550 US

>Hitachi CM751. I beleive it can be found for around $600. I paid more but I >have had it for about a year. >> What is the best 19" monitor ($600 or less) for racing sims?? I have to agree. BOTH the Hitachi 17 and 19 are almost holographic... and I sell 2-3 hundred monitors per month. They are now selling UNBRANDED, OEM Boxed...if you want a DEAL...this is a STEAL...but INSIST on firing up and checking edge to edge...brightness, convergence, focus...and warranty. They are NOT "dumping"...but have about the tightest spec tolerances I have seen from a mass market distributor. I'm gonna buy one myself...fwiw. cheers...d,

You can get the Hitachi 751 at www.virtual-world.com for $549.00 and free shipping within US Bob

Very possibly. Granularity and/or patterns, such as you described, can often be eliminated by adjusting the horizontal and vertical moir settings. I experienced just what you described with my 19" Hitachi 751 until I adjusted the moir settings. Jack Rambo

The G790 is a great monitor. It's the one I have and I'm quite happy with it. Maybe, the screen was set to a lower resolution. Also, if a bad video card was installed, that could effect the quality. I run 1024X768 16 bit colors, and screen is crystal clear. I compare this monitor to the one I had before on my old Pc (put the 2 pc side by side) and I could not believe how I manage to work/play on my old monitor! Philster
