To good for $220?

[Jacobman]

Ive been shopping around for LCD's since im getting a small tax return and am trying to keep it in the $200-250 range. I was initially looking at the BenQ that everyone got awhile back but im guessing that boner has came and gone because theres alot of newer monitors out. I have stumbled across this SCEPTRE X20WC and it just seems awesome for $220, is there any catch i need to know about or anything? Anyone have experience with this, the reviews make it seem great. Also whatever monitor i get it will be used primarily for gaming and OC forums.

this ones better

[Jacobman]

That one only has 16.2 million colors, dont i want the one with 16.7?

*BUMP*

[Rattle]

you want the one with better contrast ratio, but there's not much diff from what i can see.

Hm, slightly lower contrast ratio, but yes, 16.7 mil (non dithered) is very much preferable over 16.2 mil. I would go for the one you originally linked, however I'm not familiar with either of these.

I would amost always take an 8 bit panel over a 6 bit one. Get the 16.7 million colors set also baised off of not only the bit difference but the different viewing angles the second linked monitor seems to be a TN panel where as the other one is something better. Unless the first monitor has horrible firmware, which sceptre has been known to have from time to time, then it is the better buy.
