Re: best of the LCD monitors

2003-03-05 by danhcmsinccom

One last word to those interested in the subject: having researched 
the 20.1" LCD monitors for the past couple of days, I've grown 
convinced that several brands use a common panel: the Fujitsu 
FLC51UXC8V.  This includes the Formac 2010, Viewsonic VX2000, and 
even the 20" LG Electronics panel that comes bundled (as an option) 
with the Gateway 700XL.  The Hitachi CML200B and Planar PL201M look 
like they are also using the same technology (if not the very same 
screen).

Check out the stats: they're identical for all of these monitors.  
The only variable is the shell they're housed in and possibly the 
control features.

Given that, and the fact that the local Gateway store says I can swap 
the monitor if I'm not 100% satisfied with it, my inclination is to 
go with their bundled 20" LCD for $500 less that the Formac and 
Viewsonic versions (which both sell for $1400) and see if that will 
work for me.
