I m going to buy a 22in monitor for my friend, as his birthday present, he has a black 2007 macbook, is there a good monitor thats great for movies, and editing pictures, that cost less that 300
-
Check out Dell's new 2209WA monitor. 22", from what I can see a much better screen than most 22" monitors as well. $299 plus shipping/handling!
-
What ever you choose, make sure your buddy has the right adapters. I can't be absolutely sure, but I believe my friend's 2007 white MacBook shipped without display adapters.
Good luck! -
Yea he went to the apple store and got all the wires, all he is missing is a monitor
thank you
i was looking at the HP w2207h 22-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor, looks pretty good, anything thought? -
you just missed an awesome deal on the Samsung 2233BW 22" for 150 bucks

here's a suggestion: get him the 23" 1080p monitor from dell. its only slightly more expensive, but you get a higher resolution than the common 22" (1680x1050 vs. 1920x1080)
-
There are some pretty decent 22" monitors with WUXGA resolution for about 200€ ($130). Try Ilyama or Samsung.
-
ClearSkies Well no, I'm still here..
I own one of these and can say the picture quality is top notch, resolution 1650x1050. Pricing in the mid-upper $200s. -
I got a great ASUS 1080P HDMI monitor off newegg for around $210, and this thing is great! A 2/s response time, full HD, contrast is good for the price, it's an overall great monitor with no flickering at all. I would really recommend it. It's a 21.5 inch monitor, but I can't tell the difference between this and my brother's 22 inch. Here's the link to it on Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236051

i was thinking about the asus because it was so cheap and it had 1080 plus hdmi. However i read that it has a problem wiht light bleeding through on the bottom of the monitor
-
I really haven't had a problem with bleeding at all. It has really been nice and even all throughout the monitor.
-
Hmm in that case i might get the asus then. thanks everyone for your input in this
-
or you could go with dells, these are dirt cheap and are good quality lcd, or you could alse go with viewsonic

does this monitor look good?

thats a good deal for 209. viewsonic makes decent monitors.
-
Yeah, that looks like a pretty good monitor and with the $50 coupon it would make that a killer deal for a 24 inch.
-
awesome then, with everyone helping me with this purchase, it really helps with making the decision on buying something that cost so much. Cause if he fails, i will always wonder maybe if i paid more, i could have gotten a better one. Thanks everyone that helped in this discussion, going to go purchase the monitor this weekend.

hello again, it turns out that i didnt get the moniter yet, i m now wondering if tthe 23in monitor will look weird on a 13.3in macbook, cause isnt macbook 16:10 ratio, and 23in monitor 16:9
-
I think it'll look just fine, unless you don't like the 16:9 ratio in the first place. Mabye you could go to BestBuy, and look at the 16:9 screens there, to get a feel for what it's like compared to the MB.
-
yea 16:9 looks fine to me but i m just worry that the monitor wouldnt be able to adjust to the mac, cause the resolution on the monitor is wider than the macbook.

Ive had great luck with the Acer 22" monitors!
