Had mine for 2 years now and its been the best screen Ive ever bought. Use it for TV (with vga box), DVDs, pc, Xbox 360 everything,
Career, Wife, Mortgage... my sig was better when it listed guitars and PC's and stuff!

Ive got the Acer AL1916W which is pretty damn good, Wish Id got the one with DVI though but thats a mute point.

TBH you get what you pay for, good and cheap dont go together more often than not. For the money youre paying look for the one with the highest contrast ratio.

Agreed, you pay for what you get.  A good gaming monitor does not come at £130, If you can strech, I highly recommend this....

HanssG, are some of the cheap brands that come at about £90 trade, I would only put that in an office.

I often get the request of the dogs bollocks laptop for £500, I tell them its one or the other.

IMO you should save a spend a bit more. I dont understand why people are so quick to buy cheap nasty TFTs when prices across the ranges are so good these days, even the mighty 24" TFTs are becoming affordable by all.

When the product in question is what you use every day and spend hours staring at it should be as dogs danglies as your processor or graphics card. Any less is an injustice to your computer and your eyes.

spending loads of money does not get you the best all the time you know , i found this out before  :w00t:
