Hey all, I'm wanting to buy a 24" monitor (doen't matter if its 23" btw). I dont really want to go over £200, yet if theres something thats just so much better for like £210 I wont lose sleep over it. Now from Scan, ebuyer and everyones favourite overclockers uk I've looked at a fair few, which is the best buy?. Acer V233Hb £125 Acer X233HBD £139 Viewsonic £143 BenQ G2410HD £153.24 Dell S2309W £169 Acer V243HBD £172 Iliyama Prolite £177 Asus VH242H £178 Dell S2409W £182 - Personally I think this is best buy. LG W2453TQ £184 Hanns. G HH25QH £186 Cheers.
Dell, LG, BenQ are best brands, heard very good things about Iliyama, Hanns make some decent cheapo monitors, Viewsonic is unknown to me although I've heard them several times and Acer.... I don't think their monitors are good but I dunno Picking a monitor is easy, pick the best contrast ratio, native resolution and lowest response time, read some reviews about colour representation etc... and check for things like backlight bleed
I've just ordered the Dell SP2309W from ebuyer for £212, so i'll be able to give some feedback on that when it arrives. it is a bit over £200 but has a nicer stand and inbuilt webcam, microphones and usb hub, so might be worth it. Other than that, I've found my LG screens to be the better ones on the whole... the Dell is supposed to be very good too.
My brother has a Hannas G, My uncle has a Dell and my gf has a Viewsonic all are good Might look a bit closer at the Iliyama. Thanks for input so far.
What do you think mate? "Try a used Dell2408WFP from ebay for 300? " - awesome monitor but with buying a full new gaming rig as it is.. my bank account can only really stretch £200
I LOVE the Dell S2209W. Nice, responsive, and with a little tweaking (read: Lagom LCD tests), pretty darn nice to look at. The 2409W should be the same I imagine /goes off to hump his monitor
Just got my dell SP2309W... have to say i'm impressed. Haven't seen the small backlight bleed i was expecting, and it is just such a nice screen. Very crisp thanks to the 2048x1152 resolution. The only downside is that it's glossy, but i can live with that
No issues apart from the fact it did not come with a DVI cable (only vga) so you will need your own dvi cable.
