Re: anyone got LCD recommendations?

I've had a 17" Acer AL1717Bbmd and I now am using a 20" BenQ FP202W
widescreen, and I much prefer the BenQ. Both are budget monitors in that
they don't have any fancy features, but if I want crazy adjustability
I'll get one of the VESA mount arm things. The Acer was hard to get the
colors right, as the defaults were too blue. The BenQ has the problem of
having to set the contrast to 50 in order for anything to be right.
Settings above 50 saturate the colors and everything looks disgusting.
Colors on the BenQ were pretty darn good out of the box, I tried
adjusting them, but couldn't seem to make the colors better than they
already were.

The Dell LCD would probably be great apart from the fact that it would
say DELL on it. If I had the money though, I'd get that big 30" monster
with the ridiculously high resolution. The 3007WFP. Or, if you want to
spend a crazy amount for the DVI/VGA adapter (eBay) , I have an SGI
1600SW in a closet. It's a 17.3" widescreen LCD that does 1600x1024. Low
response time though as it was made in '99.
