Its that old monitor question again..

My 22" LaCie Electron Blue IV is getting on a bit and weighs more than my car!

Its about time i replaced it, i have been looking around and its a mine field..

I have been looking at the Samsung Sync Master 2232BW but is there something better? I use it for a bit of graphic/web design and gaming.

Is it not worth pushing up to a 24"? then you get the benifit of higher resolution.. 1920x1200 instead of 1680x1050?

You maybe right.. i don't have a massive budget but i am open to suggestions.

That samsung is very very nice in use

Yeah i used one earlier and it was very nice indeed and it has 2ms response time ! But i think i would probably benefit from the extra resolution of the 24" now i have thought about it. But which 24"??? :confused::confused:

No idea, we were looking at 24" and decided to save the money and go for the 22" widescreen as it was under half the price.

Thought being you can always run 2

I have to admit, those samsungs are £195 delivered! It would just seem rude not to!

Cant recommend my monitor enough.

It was a replacement for my old Samsung Syncmaster 21" CRT which weighed the same as about 2 cars.

Bit of a price jump from the 22" but the resolution is worth it. I have also found the stand for it to be very versatile.

Although it has a 6ms response, but tbh I havnt had a problem with it.

Sure it's nice, but you can have 3 of the 22" samsungs for that price.

It's down to personal preference I guess.

Another one to consider,

Iiyama 2201W, we have had one for a few months now and while it may not be the best looking monitor in respect of styling,the image quality is very good,2ms response and was well priced,maybe worth a look?

Ive got one of the Samsung 223BW... a bit different to the one above but i think it looks better without that bit round surround on it.

Only thing is the screen is actually only 21.6" but at the price you can't moan...

How much would you be looking for? What kind of use has it had?

That's mine. It's fantastic quality for the money and I can't fault it at all.

Some have said there is a slight loss in quality due to the input type, vga instead dvi, but to be honest I can't see the diff at all.

And this is mine

OcUK Value L2442WD-VA 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black

Bought it before christmas when OCUK were having an offer of £199 (cheapest 'name' brand was around £325 at the time) . Superb for the money and includes DVI. There is (was?) a huge thread on the OCUK forum about it as most peeps couldn't believe how good it was. Some have the usual dead pixel issue but I am more than satisfied with mine, and as a fairly hard core gamer I think it is excellent value.

How much would you be looking for? What kind of use has it had?

It used on my gaming pc, which i hardly use now (i mostly use my laptop).

Its never been used for more than 4 hours continuously, i'll have a look for a receipt to see when i bought it (less than 2 years ago). I know the box is still in the loft etc.

Was going to have a clear out when i return from the ring next week, bit too busy packing suitcase etc. at the moment to look into it, but i'll keep you in mind.
