Dual Screen

[Geordie_Boy]

Well, I am hoping to get Dual Screen on this new computer i am building.

I have no preference to any make or model other than it being a TFT. I just want it to be an all black monitor. My budget is about £200 as soon as i sell my guitar and amp. Maybe a little more with wires and the gig bag etc.

So, i would like around two 15" monitors give or take afew inches. Any good ones on the market?

15" is quite hard to come by nowadays as it's relatively small by todays standards. You can get cheap 19" widescreen monitors now for near £100 which give a better screen resolution than 15" monitors, with 1440x900 compared to 1024x768 on non-widescreen 15" screens.

Some good choices would be a pair of these or these.

The main difference between the two is that the Hanns G has both DVI and Analog input whereas the Belinea only has Analog. From what i've read though this doesn't seem to be an issue as it handles analog very well and produces a clear image. So long as you let the panel auto adjust then the picture should be fine.

As stated, 15" isn't really regarded as suitable for anything but a laptop by todays standards, and given the prices of much larger units there is no need at all to consider such a small display. Most of the R&D has gone into larger panels over the last 5 years or so. I would actually recommend you go for a single higher quality display rather than 2 of lower quality, unless you really need 2 of course. If however you don't, then I would highly recommend you go for 1 Dell E207WFP which you can buy for £199.74 from OCUK. It's a very good display, far better than any 2 19" you will get for the same price. If you must have 2 monitors though, well mark1's recommendation sounds reasonable.
