    Can't go wrong at that price. There's not much to beat this screen at this price point.

    Pookey typed as i was typing so didnt see that post ^. Looks like il get 2 or three then :).

    Got a 24" dell and a 22" viewsonic atm, would be nice to have matching screens, dont mind going down to a 23" from my 24" dell.

    Very good price, good reviews, good monitor for your needs. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Well that's not true, Pookeyhead advice is to be equally considered.
    Pookeyhead is a real professional. He works with professional grade monitors. Hes standards are higher than mine. My focus is on med range monitors. If you go and say, to me: I have a currently a EIZO/high-end NEC monitor or tell me how color accuracy is important, something alike, I'll quickly send you to communicate with PookeyHead, as I don't much in that particular range of monitors.

    If he says it's good... then it's good. :)

    As, I look at in depth reviews of monitors, user review from your guys, and see for any major issue or production issues with a monitor. Your feedback is very important to me.

    Yeh its a great monito I have to say. I am using it as I speak and I love it!

    In any case the cheapest price I beleive is at morecomputers.com for £142 inc delivery. It was a little cheaper at their site about a week or so ago....around £138 I think but they running short of stock now I believe.

    This seems to get recommended a lot lately. Seems to fit the bill of what I need, I may I have to treat myself.

    The LGIPS236v is the only alternative I can think of, but prices seem to have gone up for them to £145(I got one for £135.99 of ebuyer) as well as stock having disappeared.

    I am slightly biased (See sig) but as others have pointed out (and I agree with) for the money nothing can really touch it.

    £145ish for a excellent IPS panel, DVI & VGA inputs and loads of adjustability (height, angle, rotate etc) is a steal.
