19" LCD Monitor
My PC spec: CPU: P4 2.6C, VGA: Asus AGP-V6800 (Geforce DDR 256)
I DO NOT play games. I usually watch DVD movies and sometime eding movie. Always play internet.
I am deciding to buy 19" LCD Monitor. I have a questions.
1. Is DVI-D port practically useful for me?
2. If I wanna use DVI port, I need to have a video card that have DVI too right? or what? (I don't understand)
3. Is 25ms Response Time good enough for me?
4. Contrast Ratio , the more the better right? (750:1)
5. What else should I consider?
Thanks in advanced

I currently have the Dell 190FP, the specs are below. Only thing that sucks is response time for games. Everything else is crystal clear and the viewing angle rox. Your questions states 25ms response and 750:1 contrast. That will be plenty good for what your doing. My specs are lower and still are very bright and clear. You will be very happy with the specs you asked about. Here's mine (and if you saw mine you'd be happy with it)

Thanks for all your guys 's opinion. I 'm looking at Samsung 193p which is 800:1, 20 ms. What do you guys think about this monitor.
25ms is ok, but too slow for games.
Contrast ratio.. yes, the more the better. 750 is very good.
I would look at something a bit faster... 16ms would be good.
