Hey people,

I want to upgrade my old 17” Iiyama E431S for a 19”, primarily for gaming :D

But there will also be the odd DVD and bit of internet/word-processing etc. Ideally I’d like a good all rounder.

I’ve had a look around and it seems everyone rates the Viewsonic VX922. It does indeed look like a nice monitor and I’ve sourced it for about £175 which isn’t bad?

So what does everyone here think about it? And what are my 19” alternatives :confused:

Because I’m a bit limited for space on my desk, I’ve been looking mostly at the 19’s but what is there in the way of 20’s that would be worthy of a look – with about a £250 budget in mind.

Thanks in advance guys,

SW.
 
I'm got a VX924 which I think is quite similar, I love it but these days there are loads and loads of options. Especially in the 19" market

you could get a samsung226bw 22" for 20 quid more, seems to be one of the best around atm.
I'm trying to keep the size down to, at most, 20" because of desk space, plus I don't want to start drawing attention away from my sublime 26" Sony LCD TV :D

Actually, just been doing the 'space-maths,' and it does seem like a 19" would be my best option :)

So, apart from the VX922, whats everyone recommending?

Cheers,

Hey guys,

I've just noticed the Samsung SM-931C - not yet released?

Does anyone know anything about this monitor, it looks great :p

Very high contrast ratio and very good response time and reasonable price.

Released tomorrow I see

This review here makes it look tempting for what you want.
I'd recommend looking into more reviews of as they come out
 
what about a widescreen 19"? the size is effectively a 17" with an extra couple of inches width. good for gaming apparently, im buying one of the Hanns-G ones tomorrow.

I'd love to mate - but I'm well restricted by space (lack of) :(

17"-19" is going to be enough for me anyway :p
