which one would be the better buy??? there is only $15.00 differ

I'd spend an extra 20 bucks and get the CMV CT-520D from NewEgg. It has a better constrast ratio (500:1) than both those monitors and has a DVI input. Plus, many people have used it so there is a fairly large support community if you run into problems.
seesoe
hhhmm i don't know about this
im only 14(15 next month) and thats kinda alot. i sort of did not even what to pick from the ones i listed?

if i did not get the CMV CT-520D from newegg and wanted to get one of the ones that i listed which one would be the best to get?
just so i can have a good pj i might go with the CMV CT-520D might as well
i don't know i will think about it

THe samsung 510 is a much better monitor. I would say that its contrast ratio is just as good as the cmv's, even though the factory specs are slightly different. You really can't trust the factory specs a lot anyways. I believe that people in the forum have used that monitor, so you may want to do a search on it to see what they found, and how it stripped.
seesoe
so from best to bad

1.CMV CT-520D
2.SAMSUNG 510m-S
3.JetWay M1531S
right?

Yep. In reality, I'd say defenitly either go with the CMV or the Samsung. The CMV though if you have an extra 20 bucks (it's only about 20 bucks more expensive), and the good thing is, you will get a DVI input. Good Luck.
seesoe
ok im going to go with the SAMSUNG thanks very much for your help
seesoe
