Hiya,

Could anyone recommend a 24" or above glossy paneled screen? I currently have a HP w2207 and would like the keep the brightview type of screen.

Thanks in advance

Pete

Budget and usage would be helpful.

Mainly to use on my Mac mini, just for surfing, general apps and the odd game.

Would need to be able to use on my PC as well

I'd say a budget of up to £300

Cheers

That's a tough one as the choice of glossy screen monitors is quite restrictive at the moment. I was going to suggest waiting for the upcoming Samsung SA750 or SA850 series but for your budget and uses that wouldn't be suitable. The screen coat is 'UltraClear' which is somewhat less glossy than the highly glossy chemical AR coated HP monitors. Incidentally I will be publishing an article comparing screen coatings shortly for anybody else wondering about screen coating options.

I think one of the best options for you at the moment would be the the HP 2510i. I haven't used this one myself but have briefly used its successor the 2511x. It was a very good monitor but a bit on the pricey side and not currently available in the UK. The screen coating of both HP monitors is similar to your existing monitor.

Thanks for your reply. I was toying with the idea of going to a 23" HP 2310ei as it's LED backlit and only an inch smaller than I really want, I'll check out the 2510i as well thanks
