My Search For a Monitor

Posted in AtHome, Hardware by Rami on the April 18th, 2005

Kuwait sucks when it comes to buying electronics. I remember when I was in the states I was able to find whatever I want. Too bad I couldn’t afford it then. Now when I can finally afford getting some of the stuff I want I can never find them. I went for a monitor hunt today as I have a Samsung SyncMaster 172B LCD and I’m not really happy with it. I prefer CRTs much better. I don’t play games or anything but I feel that the CRTs are clearer. I Went to LG, Samsung, Sony, called IOC for Lacie, looked at ZAK’s flyer for the Philips monitors but I couldn’t find anything that is really reasonable. I love Sony mostly and that’s what I had in the states but they have been discontinued here in Kuwait! I don’t like LG much as I heard the colors fade away after a year or so. Not sure about Samsung but I hate this Samsung LCD and want to keep away from Samsung. What I’m left with is either Lacie or Philips. Lacie is KD205 and Philips is KD85 and that’s for 19inch monitors. I have to make a choice tomorrow as I’m so sick of my monitor at home. Would love to have the Lacie but is it really worth it!?!
