ok looking to replace my 1920x1080 22 inch monitor it's just too small for a 1920x1080

really want to go 24 inch 1920x1080

Must have at least 1XHDMI and 1XDVI-D
must also have a audio output socket (3.5mm jack) so i can plug the monitor directly into my 2.1 speakers when i'm using the 360 and the ps3

Budget £250 and it can't be samsung and needs to be of decent quality obviously not talking ips
 
You better have a very good reason for dismissing the largest, most successful and frankly one of the best producers of consumer computer monitors there is. Or I'm not helping you. :)

Yes because they suffer a serious problem via HDMi vs DVI-D

There is a whole thread on it around here somewhere i'll see if i can dig it up
 
It would depend which you prefer the look of really. There are some minor differences in image quality - the B2430H having slightly better default colours and marginally cleaner whites for example. After you have set them up how you like they are apples and apples really.

Edit: Cracker has beaten me to it with my own words. How embarassing for me ;).

Just looking at that benQ led monitor your going to be reviewing

when are you going to be reviewing it as it looks pretty tasty :)

oh and when are they due out in the uk

Given my other commitments I don't expect the review to be published until Guy Fawkes night, however the monitor itself should arrive today. The idea is to give some initial impressions (gaming experiences in particular) in the nearer future. It is currently available in limited quantities for around £160-£170.

i can't find it for sale anywhere
 
just called them they are a supplier for trade and IT but said he's getting 19xBenQ EW2420 in on the 28th of october and i'm welcome to collect one for £170.

Unfortunately cannot test because it's a warehouse so to speak.

He seemed like an ok guy, he said he is the supplier for a lot of the computer shops in my area and if i go direct to him he can cut their prices, he also said he thinks they will retail around the £185 mark judging by the price he got them at

One store online was selling them for £166 delivered a few days ago, they're out of stock now though.

Yeah i imagine online will be cheaper still but nothing better than driving 2 miles and picking one up and not having to worry about some carp courier smashing it to bits lol
