Title: TFT On a budget?
Post by: Beaker on September 18, 2007, 19:00:46 PM
Right then time for a new screen, the 19" i have now is pretty cool, but with a new job comes a new toy.  

What im looking for :
Semi-Decent
within a £200 + P&P Budget
Must have at least 1 DVI input
Reasonable response time.  
I would like something with at least 1050 vertical pixels.  

What I dont want :
19" or below widescreen.
Anything over £200 + P&P (Yes i too would love a 24" Dell screen, but its above what im willing to spend!).  

Im not too bothered about brand, or were I buy it from (Except ebay).  I dont care about HDMI Inputs, or massive amounts of features, itll be plugged into my PC, and never used as a TV or anything else.

Just out of your budget, but its the best of the 22" widescreens.

Id go with this one, it looks fantastic specs, and its shiny ;) Have been looking at this one for a while now, might be my next pay check purchase.

EDIT: Oh and its 2ms response time, which it doesnt say on dixons!

Its pretty much the best 22" you can get really, definately best under £300.  I bought one after weeks of research just after they got released, but never got it out of the box before my dell 24" arrived.  A guy bit my arm off to buy it off me though, as absolutely every shop was out of stock :O

They do a professional range too - and Im lead to believe theyre pretty decent.
