Replacing my nec 20wgx2

Hi

Unfortunately the lack of HDCP on my NEC 20wgx2 is becoming a big annoyance and so I will have to pass it on to my parents. It's a real shame as I still love this monitor and wish I could keep it for many more years

Anyway this was a pretty decent monitor for the time and was wondering what is the minimum I would have to spend to get an equivalent/better 20 inch monitor? I would like to do this is cheaply as possible but I don't want a monitor that looks worse than what I have now.

Any ideas?

I'm in sort of the same boat and am sorry to report that this might be the only alternative left on my list...

That's a shame. I would have assumed that in the time since i bought my NEC monitors would have become better and cheaper. Maybe I should just go ahead and buy AnyDVD to get around the HDCP issues?

I was having the exact same problem pre1twa, I replaced it today with the 24" Hazro and put my NEC20WGX2 onto the members market.

Run quite a few tests and am extremely happy, it's quality is incredible and it's very comparable to the 20WGX2 except this Hazro is a lot bigger, has HDMI (plugged PS3 onto it and blu-rays look amazing).

Heh, I got the 24" Hazro this week too, I have the same feelings as you, love the monitor!

Comparable as in the Hazro is better than the NEC? Are they pretty much the same?

For me it's pretty much the same monitor but bigger
