Buying monitor, which of these three?

Cythx · 6 Jun 2012 at 21:32

Acer S240HLbid

Samsung S23A550H

LG IPS225V

They're all around £120 so the difference in prince won't be affecting my purchase, when they're that close, I just want to know which is best.

What is everyone's opinions on these monitors?

They're all 1920x1080, 22-24", LED. E-IPS is an appeal, it'll probably be the one I go with, any reason why I shouldn't go with it?

Samsung S23A550H

I own one of these, they are killer for the price.

I would be inclined to go for the Samsung myself.

I have a Samsung monitor myself and it's never missed a beat (must be 7 years old or more by now!) and the image is still great. Have a couple of their LCD TV's as well and same story

Good value and great image quality.

I don't like the look of the samsung - the bezel looks horrible.
Only has HDMI and VGA where as the others also have DVI.

If you don't mind 21.5" - the LG looks sleek and also an IPS monitor.
I would prefer a 24" monitor so I would go with the Acer.

I guess it's your call though!

I made a thread about the 23" version of the LG in your list which you can find here

It is now in my bedroom not being used as I recently bought a 27" catleap but at some point I will use it as a TV when I get a freeview box for it.

Yeah, I have one as my second monitor. They are decent.
