Hey every, another recommend me a monitor thread I'm afraid.

I'm after a 20"-22" LCD monitor that will mainly be used for photography work and gaming so will need to have good colours and fast performance.

I'm ideally looking around the £150 to £170 budget. I can't stretch any more than that.
 
That'll be really difficult!

The problem is, 22" lcd's are tn-panel based which wouldn't really make them suitable at all for photo type work, you'd be better off with a 21" CRT monitor off ebay for a tenner.

The one that really cries out "buy me buy me" for this is the dell 2007wfp which would be great for colours and is 20" but still a fair bit more expensive than your looking at right now but here it is anyway.

I honestly think its the best for picture quality i've ever seen, certainly better than the 2407wfp in this area.

1680x1050 @ 20" vs 1920x1200 @ 24" = no contest for sharpness imo, 20" wins easy.
 
So going on what you've said about 20"s I've had a look at the Samsung SM-206BW 20" Widescreen and the Dell E207WFP 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor. I've had a few Dell monitors and I've never had a problem except the colours on my old 24" never looked...as you said sharp enough
 
If they're not sharp enough for how you like them on the dell 24" they definiately won't on a tn-panel based SM-206BW and so on. Just a much cheaper lcd.

What sucks is you get what you pay for :D pretty much the only suitable 20" is the one i mentioned.
 
No point recommending TN-panels for photography work is there? :p

I rate them in games and general use but the colours simply won't be as good.
