Where to buy a good Monitor?

I'm looking for a new LCD 19" or 20" monitor, preferebly Widescreen 20-21" since 19" ones are a bit easier to find...

I need something that will last for several years but at the same time have a warranty so when a pixel dies or something I can get the monitor replaced right away.
I've searched FutureShop, BestBuy, CanadaComputers, TigerDirect and I dunno which has the best one

I need it to be affordable and good brand which means around 380-420 for a 20" widescreen... Is there some special places to get this kinda monitor with a 3 year warranty

Please help me out thanks!

True, but I'm sure you know someone in the US who could ship it for you.

affordable = LG, AOpen, etc
good = samsung, viewsonic, etc

want both? buy stolen.

Yes, get a Samsung.

I've got a SyncMaster 1701MP LCD I bought 2 years ago and it's the best purchase I've ever made.

regarding bad pixels.... No manufacturer will replace a screen for one bad pixel. There's actually an industry-wide accepted amount of bad pizels a panel can have. Each manufaturer does set its acceptability standards, so it varies from one to another. There is no manufacturer that warrantees their panels at 100% perfection.

Dell.ca's having 7 days of sale this week.. Today's the first day.. You might catch a good deal on monitors. I told my sister to get a 17" from dell a couple months back. $240... BUT! 3 year warranty. Manufactured by Samsung and well supported.

I bought a Viewsonic VX2025WM 20" LCD widescreen monitor 2 weeks ago. No complaints. Has good rating, according to some online reviews. $499 plus tax. IMO not a bad price to pay in comparison to compareable models. Here's the store info if you're interested. Good luck.

highly recommended.

I've dealt with two of their locations over the years...great service, very knowledgable and good prices!

go to this forum...there is a "deals" forum where people post the lowest prices they've found in Canada on LCD monitors and TVs:

http://www.digitalhomecanada.com/

FWIW, I've had a 19" Samsung LCD (192N, I think) for about a year and a half...great quality, no problems, and they have local approved warranty centres across the city if you need service (as opposed to having to ship your monitor somewhere). I picked it up at Future Shop on boxing day '04 for a riduclously price ($50 mail-in rebate + $150 off the normal price).

Although dell.ca has the 7 days of business deals on this week, their new '07 LCD monitors (i.e. 1907FP, 2007FP, & 2007FPW) appear to be suffering from serious colour banding issues.

I wouldn't recommend a Dell for 20" widescreen, unless you can find last year's model (2005FPW) somewhere!
