My Dell 2001FP is beginning to show its age so I'm after a new monitor, the 'sweet point' for me seems to be a 24" wide screen running 1920x1600 as the current Dell runs at 1600x1200 so the new one would be similar but a little wider.
I need two inputs (VGA and DVI-D/HDMI), I don't really need speakers.
So has anyone here got something like this and/or bought one recently?
Any ideas or recommendations would be most welcome. I'd like to keep the price below £200. My current front runner is the LG W2452TX which is £169 from CCL.
Assuming that the LG one is similar to my telly, it'll be fantastic value... (my telly is a 22" LG at 1920x1080, and is lovely as a monitor too).
Yes, we have an LG television too, and like it. That's one of the reasons that the LG is quite high on my list of possibles.
At work I have 2 22" Iiyama ProLite E2208HDS which should be around that same price range and are also 1920x1080. They're very nice monitors too.
My son has an Iiyama around that size which he likes.
I suspect that almost any monitor with the right spec. is going to be OK nowadays, there don't seem to be any real lemons. There's only two manufacturers of the actual screens I believe.
