I am currently looking to try and get myself a new monitor for my pc. I have a 30inch TV just now, however the TV only goes up to 1368 x 768 (as with most "HD Ready" TVs)

I use my TV for my PC via DVI, PS3 and Xbox 360 via component. Ideally I want to try and get a monitor with component hdmi and DVI so I can connect all of them to it.

I have been looking around and saw a perfect 30inch monitor, cant remember the name of it, but the only problem is that it didnt have speakers. This doesnt really help when I want to hook my PS3 and Xbox 360 to it.

I am looking at £700 being my maximum and 24inch monitor being my minimum.

I noticed this one by samsung: Samsung T260 but I am not sure whether I want to trust their technically specifications, as apparently Samsung also do the same monitor without the freeview tuner and component inputs.

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a monitor that has these features:

  • DVI/Component/HDMi
  • Minimum Res 1920 x 1080/1200
  • Speakers
  • Minimum 24inches

I cant really see many on OCUK but hopefully they will be getting more stock in soon.

If I cant find one I may just have to go for a 1080p TV, but I only really have space for something that is 32inch max, and the majority 1080p TVs I have seen are about 37inches.

Thanks in advance

Hi there,
firstly, you might want to remove the link to amazon, as the mods don't like links to compeditors being posted.

I'm not sure about which monitor to recommend, although Viewsonic do a 28 inch monitor that has component and the likes. Might wanna check that out

Thanks for the headsup. I was going to get the one I linked from OCUK, but they decided to take it off their website =/

I will check that one out thanks.
 
I think I have waited long enough before I bump this.
Anyone know where I might be able to get a 30inch monitor with speakers?
I dont really think they exist but maybe someone knows better?
