Advice on a 15" LCD

[bannedagain]

I just built a new PC for a client of mine and he has asked for advice on a 15" LCD for his daughter. While the compter is rigged for gaming with nForce2 Ulta chpset, R9600 (editVi, VGA ViVo,) AthlonXP 2500+, 512DDR400, SATA, etc... the young lady only needs it to produce work for her final year @ high school.

Any advice would be most welcome

You might not want limit yourself to just 15" LCD's
I got a nice 17" Albatron LCD for $350 a couple of months ago.

I would offer you a link but newegg doesn't seem to be selling it anymore.

It's more of a price restriction, that is limiting the perchace to a 15" LCD, If it were me I would buy a 19" flat CRT, however it's not for me (damit.)

What kinda price are we talking here. I looked at 15" LCD's and they ranged from $260 to $430.

Also, do they need DVI or just VGA?

are there any that have higher than 1024x768 resolution?

I've never seen one.

If the computer has DVI output, get one with DVI. It looks incredibly better than VGA when used with LCD's. I bought an NEC 1560NX to use with my mom's iMac. It's a beautiful LCD. Dell also makes some very good LCD's and sells them at very reasonable prices.

For more than 1024x768, you are going to have to get a 17" that typically come in 1280 x 1024 resolution.
