Chosing a monitor

Woden · 30 Apr 2013 at 10:23

I can't put up with just one monitor anymore. So going to order a 2nd one to use as my main and shift this one to the side.

Been looking a while and stuck between a Dell U2410 and Asus PA248Q. Anyone got anything to say that might sway me either way? They both seem to be great monitors mind, so doubt I would be upset with either.

Anything else in the price range? £380 really is my upper limit, I have already pushed myself up from £200

Edit: Would the Dell U2412M be a massive drop?

Samsung what inside? The Catleaps use LG panels.
If you want a Samsung (PLS) panel from one of those eBay screens then you need to go with the new QNIXs

The 'HDMI version' is called a Multi and:
(1) Comes with higher input lag due to the multiple inputs, OSD, scaler etc. inside the monitor, and
(2) Only supports up to 1080p over HDMI. For the much-coveted 1440p resolution you need to use the DL-DVI...

I would rather not faff around with an import. But thanks
