Small, High-Resolution LCD Monitors?
An anonymous reader writes "I'm a veteran user of an old 17" Dell Trinitron CRT monitor. I run it at 1400x1050 with an 80Hz refresh rate — about as high as it goes before it'll go out of the monitor's scan range. More recently I've been looking to finally upgrade to an LCD monitor but found that, for the most part, every 17" monitor on the market runs natively at 1280x1024, as does every 19" monitor — I have to go for a 20" to go higher. Now yes, I know I'm complaining about just 120 pixels horizontal and 26 pixels vertical, but my laptop's 15" display runs natively at 1400x1050. Is there any standalone monitor on the market that'll natively do higher than 1280x1024 without killing my desk space?"
May I suggest the SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 743N. 17" 1280x1024 resolution.
And the refresh rate is usually not very interesting when it comes to LCD monitors. That's mostly a relic from the CRT era.
An alternative would be SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 943N, which is 19", but has the same resolution.
Personally I have found that the Samsung monitors works fine. Not the cheapest, but not extremely expensive and rather reliable.
