    i think i need a new monitor..

    hey all
    my monitor is leaving me... heh. slowly but surely, it keeps getting worse.. it started off as just throwing a pink haze over the screen ever now and then.. i could either be patient or slap the side of it and it would go away. now, every now and then the monitor will flicker.. like, the image shrinks horizontally to about 60% of what it should be for a 1/10th of a second or so, then goes back. the pinkness is coming less often... anyway, i think i'm gonna buy a new monitor. i was going to get a 19"... but along with the size comes weight (LAN parties....) and price... so i don't think so. i'm going to get a perfectly flat monitor, and i want high resolutions to look decent. right now i think my choice will be the viewsonic P75F+B ( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...ption=P75F%2BB ) so i was looking for opinions on the monitor.. any other suggestions with roughly the same specs/price? another that i'm considering is the samsung 765MB (cheaper cause of free shipping )( http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...cription=765MB )

    any suggestions/comments/opinions appreciated..
    thanks




    edit:
    btw.. the viewsonic has a coax in on the back.. it says that with the optional "video processor unit" you can make it a high def TV... why the hell do they have coax in if it doesn't come with a TV tuner? can i do anything with it? or do i have to keep my crappy ATI tv tuner? i'm guessing that the coax in without the tv tuner must just be so that someone can use it as a high def small TV without a computer... but that seems like it would happen rarely...
    guess i gotta keep my crappy ati tv tuner.. sigh.. heh
    thanks again

    edit:
    i just thought of something (d'uh... too tired)
    i could buy a cable box at radioshack and hook it up to the coax in on the monitor..

    hmm.. yet another edit:
    is it just me, or does radioshack (at least the .com) not sell cable boxes anymore?
