Best monitor for £150

DotFifty89 · 24 May 2013 at 20:35

Hi, looking for a monitor that can connect an Xbox, PC and the upcoming ps4. I would like to connect all these together without having to switch any cables around. I have £150 to spend will add another £10 if its worth it.

I have seen Asus VE247H for £142 it seems pretty good, but would like to hear what you guys think.

Thanks.

I am in the market too. Have you seen this one? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-071-IY&groupid=17&catid=510

Edit: next month I'll be buying, don't have the cash right now.

Just looked at it pryere, specs sound decent but not fond of the make.

The Asus looks better and its a tad cheaper

Do all these standard sized monitors from 19"to 24"have in built scalars and can display bios etc?

I've just got a U2312HM with that price, and you won't regret it

Lol I don't know, can I? Does that work just the same

Right now I'd get this or this.

IPS is a must have.

Are IPS the glossy screened monitors combating the Retina?

Bought a VE247H in December 2011 and I love it. Bought another two past month and they're shocking. Has a strong tinge of yellow. Seems like people on Newegg are reporting the same problem.
The firmware on the two new monitors was different so it may be a problem but I guess you could return it if you find the same problem as me.

Iiyama are a awesome make, not a budget make if thats what you're thinking.

Their monitors are some of the best for IQ and are a great choice for gamers.
