One of the best things that we have about the internet is its beauty of free speech. Nothing is censored on the internet. As a result, we therefore have a medium of expression, which a lot of people can no longer live without and an even greater bunch is beginning to get into right now. Because of this, we can now easily find ratings and reviews on almost any product in the market. With the help of ratings and reviews, consumers all over the world are getting help before they go out and make an actual purchase of the item they desire to have. One such item today is the computer monitor and so many people are searching for computer monitor ratings.

The good thing about flat screen monitor reviews is that they will help you purchase the best monitor you can for the best price tag there is for it. Without it, you might go and spend tons of cash on a monitor that is not worth the trouble at all. The question therefore that arises for many is - where exactly can one get the best computer monitor ratings?

One of the best places that anybody can go to for reliable computer monitor ratings are internet retail sites. Internet retail sites for examples would have a section only for the buying and selling of computer monitors. Underneath each description of every particular monitor, you would then have your monitor ratings. These will be ratings that are given by other consumers who have already bought the product that you are viewing. Internet retailers will always have reliable user reviews and ratings for you. The good thing about getting your ratings from such sites is that, there are a myriad of internet retailers out there.

The next best place to find computer monitor ratings before you buy them are on independent sites that offer consumers a chance to provide their opinions. These independent sites encourage their viewers and readers to put up their opinions about different consumer products on their web sites. They also require them to rate the products usually on a scale of one to five, with five being the best.

The problem with computer monitor ratings is that you can only get the best ratings for a particular category of monitors. For example, these are two of the most highly rated CRT computer monitors followed by the LCDs:

AOC CT700G - 17 inch monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels
Dell E773c - 17 inch monitor with 1024x 768 pixels. The good thing about this monitor is that it has a three-year guarantee. If there is a problem with it, Dell ships you another one by next day delivery.
Viewsonic LCD VX1940w - $185 for a 19 inch monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050. Other 19-inch monitors have 1400 by 900.

Samsung Syncmaster 2053BW - $240 for a 22 inch monitor; general purpose LCD for gaming, movies and everyday home use.

In summary, if you are shopping for a new flat screen computer monitor, begin your research on consumer sites that provide reviews and opinions from people that have actually purchased and/or used the product. You do not want to waste your money on a monitor that has poor workmanship.
