All i know is that I want a 24inch screen for my pc and to use my ps3 on.

Thing is I don't know which one to get My ps3 came with a hmdi cable but I will be using seperate speakers so won't the hdmi be as useful as a standard dvi connecter??

I have no budget limit. thanks
 
Dell 2407WFP has a good range if interface options. The BenQ FP241 or FP241WZ might well be worth a look tho as they feature an HDMI interface as well as DVI. Ideal for your PC and PS3 :)
 
thanks for the replies guys.
Should have been more specific with the budget. I don't have one but I don't want to pay more unless its worth it. I see myself paying 400-550quid as I want something good.

What about the dvi though? isnt HMDI essentially the same as DVI but doesnt carry sound??
I want the ps3 and pc plugged in at the same time and want to be switchable between the two. Whats the PictureInPicture thing like on the BenQ's??

thanks

EDIT: I havn't heard of the eizo before, is it a good brand?

EIZO is probably the best brand worldwide, hence the ultimate prices. HDMI is DVI+sound.

will look into the eizo:) EDIT: ouch at the price!! I deffo don't want to spend that much, even though it would be awesome

So if i am not using monitor speakers a dual DVI monitor will be fine:)
I really want to know how good that PIP from benQ is though as it sounds very useful:p

ouch is putting it mildly buddy, the Dell 2407WFP, or Dell 2407WFP-HC look like a bargain by comparison. My own is Dell 2407WFP-HC and can't complain, but there's a lot of good competition recently.
 
Ok, so i tried this PIP function and it is quite limited tbh. I was hoping to be able to have both of my machines showing at the same time (one connected via DVI and the other by analogue) an i was unable to do this. (Unless i am doing something wrong). From the instructions it looks like only certain combinations can be used

This isn't a big issue for me but it would have been nice to have it working. Maybe the latest firmware version fixes this? Anyone know?

Hope this helps

The pip is very limited. Basicaly can only swap between video and the bigger modes.

composite/svideo or hdmi/componant/dvi/vga

Did you get the ghosting issue?

I don't mate, :), and my black's are flawless, but I don't game on it, or do any rendering of any kind - so its possible I'm not stressing it as much as others. For me, so far, it's been a perfect 24".

Its a fantastic monitor, and I strongly recommend it, but other people have had their issues. depends on your usage I think.

Reviews rate the quality above the DELL's, its not as expensive as the Eizo's but probably similar in quality and its another 2" bigger. :)
