£200 to spend on a 22" Widescreen Monitor! What's my best option?

iMacMart · 12 Mar 2008 at 17:07

As above

There are lots to choose from so I'm seeing what is the general census is for this size and cost at the moment!

I play a few games (FPS) here and there and the rest is desktop stuff and picture editing (nothing fancy)

Whats the best one for me money at the moment guys?

Hi

See my thread for the almost exact same question as you.

I went for the Samsung Pebble. Great monitor!

Do OcUK stock them? *runs off to look*

EDIT: They do but it's over £200

Intel Core 2 Q6600 @ 3.5Mhz

That is a stunning overclock

The Samsung 20" is £30 under budget and is a 2ms panel? or do you specifically need 22"?

hmmm what about acer

stevieg · 12 Mar 2008 at 19:43

i just today got an acer p223w and great googly moogly its huge,i think i may have to turn my head when watching a movie to see both sides of the screen,upgraded from a 15" but still,real nice sharp picture,pointless to say i got a real big smile on my face

I'm really after a 22" wide screen as I like to have a large desktop

Any thing else?

What about the Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen this looks like a very nice bit of kit?

iMacMart · 12 Mar 2008 at 20:32

Anyone got the Samsung SyncMaster 226BW - may choose this over a Dell 22" WS??

iMacMart · 13 Mar 2008 at 09:59

HP W2207H 22"

Right I've got it down to the Samsung pebble or the HP w2207h 22" inch WIDESCREEN

I'm swaying towards the HP as it looks more pleasing to the eye!

Has anyone got the HP? Care to comment on it?

EDIT: Can anyone tell me how I would convert the HDMI to DVI please?

As I think the HP only comes with a HDMI and VGA ports and my card is DVI?? Thanks

Thats simple with a DVI to HDMI connector or DVI to VGA connector. You can find them on the net in various places.

So they aren't supplied with them then??

FSake · 13 Mar 2008 at 13:04

I mean HDMI to DVI I assume your talking about VGA to DVI?

I can get a HDMI to DVI of a popular auction site for £10 to it's not a show stopper!

Read some more and I'm going with the HP I think.........

FSake · 13 Mar 2008 at 14:15

Suppose its down to the way you look at it.

I see your point though.
