24" Monitor for £180.

Drake5 · 5 Dec 2011 at 18:33

I want a monitor purely for use with my Xbox 360. It probably wont even be used with my PC. I previously had a 24" Samsung but it dithered really badly when looking close to it and it came to the point where it constantly annoyed me... Will all pc monitors do this?

Any suggestions?

Cheers

It dithered badly? Doesnt really mean anything, what was wrong with it? Image quality? For £180 youll do pick up a decent monitor.

Over black areas and greys mainly, when looking closely their was a sort of fizzing/fuzzing/noisy effect and this could get really annoying sometimes in game menus as it could flicker erratically at times.

The samsung 24" cost me £180 only 3 months ago, it's a great monitor apart from I seem to notice the dithering very much. :/

Have you questioned that your monitor is possibly a faulty?

I've not heard such issues with Samsung monitors.

Amazon seem to think so... They told me to send the monitor back for a refund.

Maybe I should just get a TV?

Any suggestions for a 24" monitor then?
