BenQ X2200W 22" widescreen monitor

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...-lcd-monitor/1

BenQ looks to target gamers with its X2200W 22 inch widescreen monitor. It packs DVI, HDMI and VGA inputs with one of the best TN+Film panels we've seen to date. It also comes with a selection of image enhancing extras designed to bridge the gap to better panel technology.

£263.49 (inc. VAT) ? Wow, that's more than I paid for BenQ's own G2400W, which is luvverly (by my standards, anyway)

Looks nice, but for it to sell, they need to drop the price substantially. It's way too much for a 22", nice screen or not. And it sounds very much like this isn't.

the price is crazy, if you pay that much for a 22" you might as well get a 24".

For that price you can nearly have an SM245B, and that's no competition at all tbh...

Sounds a bit pricey, I just spent £170 on a Dell E228WFP 22" widescreen that I'm bloody happy with. Mind you, I've never noticed much ghosting from my old Sony 19" which has a refresh time of something like 16ms...

Although the Yuraka VA panel is nice, the blue led is anoying as hell.

Can you even get the Yuraka anymore? I did some looking and they were discontinued everywhere!
