24" Advice please

I've been running 2 of these:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-067-IY&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=
for the past 7-8 months, and I think they're brilliant. Recently had to use the speakers built into one, and frankly they're horrible, but as long as you're using it as just a screen it's great.

I should say, my exposure to other screens is minimal - I used to use Dell 2007FP's (sounds like what you had Corrupt) and now have a DGM L2647 and these Iiyama's. Beyond that, I haven't played with any recent monitors out there, so cannot say if the Iiyama is better or worse than others, I can just say I upgraded to 2 of them and I love them and have had zero issues or cause to complain.

Will be using just for screen ..
May opt for ones you are using as for £150 cant really go wrong.
Just one thing would you say LCD is better than LED for gaming?
What about this one also Iiyama ProLite E2407HDS 24

how about this monitor
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-046-OK&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=

the specs are completely identical to this monitor
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-071-IY&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=

but £20 cheaper, the customer reviews also say they got the iiyama monitor.

Yes did see that ...
Thing is there are soo many iiyama monitors around the £150-200 mark( six on the site) to choose from..
So bascially what one is the best for gaming and features..
Would like to opt for the best one as they are all in my price range.
All abit confusing as im lost after looking at response times plus they all 2ms
Other stats and specs im not sure on like contrast ratio and colours etc.

Thanks Jony like the look of the LG and its specs plus reviews all seem positive.(is an ugly monitor though and found this review
)
the Dell is also tempting at £30 more but is it worth it over the others to stretch to the Dell . Is going to be a mainly for gaming .
Does the 1" diff from 23 to 24 make any great difference
Still on the fence a bit...

If you don't mind one less inch then get the U2311 - 1920 x 1080

Yup also good shout..
Does it matter that its connections are only Inputs: 1x HDMI, 1x Analogue
No DVI-D (or can i use a connector/converter to get full limits of my G Card?)
Will be runnning it via a ATI 5870 card.:confused:
 
Think you may be right on the price range for a top spec think im looking at £300ish..
Just reading some good things about this-
BenQ XL2410T
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/benq_xl2410t.htm
May be worth the extra hit on the money to get what im really after...
Seems you have done a lot of the donkey work with the sub £200 screens.
Biggest fear is like you have experienced is getting a monitor and having to send it back due to poor performance.
Think the price range will have to go to £300 .. ):

I wouldn't suggest going with that BenQ - there are so many horror stories about it.

Hence I would suggest either going for the LG 23in 120Hz monitor with the HDMI input for £162, the lovely Dell U2311H or saving up and getting the Hazro HZ27WC non-glass for £360 (this week).

That said, may I ask what you will mainly be doing with your system?

Will be for FPS gaming im on an upgrade path for upcoming titles of BF3 and others..
Have a nice new i7 based system with decent G Card to match with nice new Screen..
