June 17, 200421 yr I'm looking to get a flat panel monitor for my PC. I think it'd be nice to have because it would take up a lot less room on my desk at school, and i hear the picture is much more clear, etc. For those of you who have them...is it worth it to get one? If so, any recommendations on brand or size? Any help is appreciated.
June 17, 200421 yr I'm assuming you want flat panel as well. I have one that's only about 14 inches or so and I belive it cost about $300, but don't quote me on it. It's a Gateway FPD1530, and it looks really nice. It does save a ton of space and I would reccomend getting one if you can afford one.
June 17, 200421 yr Author Duh, i meant flat panel...stupid me Thanks for the input, if it's worth it i'll have one by fall. I can probly get the parents to pay for a bit of it too because it's "school related"
June 17, 200421 yr I never realized what a space saver a flat panel was, until I got it on my desk. We got ours with our new Dell PC last year...

June 17, 200421 yr I'm about to purchase my computer for school pretty soon. I think I finally decided to go with the desktop instead of the laptop. I was definitely leaning towards a flat panel though; I've yet to hear a negative thing about them from my friends.

June 17, 200421 yr Go desktop I'm basically sold on getting a desktop. --A quality desktop costs less than a cheap laptop.... --I really don't think I want to be walking around campus etc with something that costs that much..... --I know you can buy a mouse, but I hate the scrolling mouse on laptops...

If you have the money, for the little extra I'd go with a laptop, for the portability. There's a lot of times you'll wish you had. If $$ is a consideration, desktops are the way to go (better bang for the buck).
June 18, 200421 yr laptops are also esier to steal true but you have to be a dumbass to just leave it laying around...
