Question:

What should I look for in an LCD monitor?

I want to hook up an LCD monitor to my laptop. I do mainly Excel/Outlook work so I am more concerned about crisp, clear text than color matching. Which specifications should I focus on? Any recomendations on a specific make/model? I am looking for a 19 or 21 Widescreen for under $250.

Hi! I'm from Europe and I'd go for Siemens/BenQ. Since you are using Office applications, I'd recommend the models that have a latency time of 4ms or less ( 2 :) ) for increased refresh rates, the higher, the better for the eyes. Also, brightness is very important. You might also want to enable Clear Type in Windows by Right Click on DesktopPropertiesAppearanceEffectsThe second list. This is good for your laptop too. Good luck!
