I just moved to a new house, from a 6 bedroom to a 3 bedroom
(but better!
). So I've to decided to pick up a 17" LCD to save space to replace my 17" CRT (still kicking after 7 years
). I've narrowed it down to either the Samsung 172 or the Viewsonic VX700. They are both on par in specs. 25ms response rate, 500:1 contrast ratio, 170 degree viewable angle. Personally I think the Samsung looks a little nicer physically because of its slim boarders. Newegg is selling the Samsung for $499.00 (black) and Viewsonic for $565.00 (just because its silver) both with free fedex shipping.
So should I get either one of these or is there something better out there in the market? I am not a gamer at all and all I do is text editing and web surfing so it ***must*** have crisp text yet soft on the eyes.
