My choice for a new monitor is Samsung 17" TFT model. There are two models in the TFT Series from samsung and they are Samsung SyncMaster 713N and the Samsung SyncMaster 740N. What is the difference between the two?

713 is older and hence removed from their site. youll still find it with the dealers.
As the price difference between the two is very less idd suggest you go for the 740 as its better at displaying fast moving immages.

In Samsung LCD 17" category, the best one is 770P but it is not available in India(at least at the time of my purchase one month ago). So I have to go for 740N. Working superb so far as LCD TFT is concerned.

I think these multi-national companies use our country for sell of their old stock. You will not find a new/latest product here.

You can buy either SamSung or ViewSonic LCD monitor. SamSung's SyncMaster 770P is the best one.

When you are buying a LCD monitor look for these things:

* response time should be 6 ms ( not higher than that)
* Viewing angle. Unlike the CRT , the LCD monitors can't be viewed in every angle!!
When viewed beyond a certain angle, the Image appears dull, distorted!!
So look for greater viewing angle
* Also check for dead-pixels , stuck pixel.

stuck pixel - a dot whose color won't change
dead pixel - a pixel always appear black

My friend's waiting for the Syncmaster 770P. You should definitely go for that one, as far as buying a Samsung LCD monitor is concerned. Plus, nowadays the price differences between the various monitor do not tend to be that high... so even if you buy it a bit late, make sure you buy the best one that there is(within your budget).
