Looking to upgrade to a new monitor

# AOC 22"
# Resolution 1920 x 1080 pixels
# Inputs VGA
# USB
# Response time 5 ms

I can get 30% off that price to £83.99 from £119.99

I was tempted but its only VGA, and I have the adapter to do Eyeinfinity.

Do I get a DVI-VGA adapter, or do you have anything else you can recommend that you sell instead?

Im after 3 of the same of course..

Budget 300-350

Running a ATI Radeon 5870

Hi there,

Would you be able to remove the competitor link, as it is against forum rules? Instead, just outline the monitor's make, model number and price.

As for an alternative, this one is the same size/resolution, costs £112, has a DVI input (as well as VGA) and is well regarded as a gaming monitor (you also get free courier delivery from OCUK).

May I ask what graphics card you are using? As for running in eyefinity, make sure you are using an active display port adapter.
 
No, that's a passive adapter and won't work for driving a third display.

You need something like the "Sapphire 44000-02-40R" (have a google) or a similar active adapter with a mini-DP input (depending on what DP output type your 5870 card uses).

well this is the back of the card..
 
aye indeed gonna do that in bit, I found the same monitors else where for 100 quid cheaper with the adapter and with 1-2 days delivery :)

OcUK Total : £539.96 (free shipping)

Elsewhere Items: £426.49
Postage & Packing: £14.49 (1-2days shipping)

Order Total: £440.98

Dont suppose OcUK have like a price promise?
 
Which monitors in particular are you talking about for £539/440?

Three of the BenQ G2222HDL monitors from OCUK would cost £324 from OCUK with your free delivery.

I don't think OCUK do price matching but you could always send them a webnote and see what they say.

Did you find the Sapphire 44000-02-40R (or similar) active adapter?

Benq 2420 Monitors £179.99 each but maybe because its looks like its 3rd party?, instead of the Website itself that sells them.

Never mind I got some good reviews on it.
 
If you want four 24 inchers for a £450 budget then I would have a look at these.

I wouldn't suggest buying off a place you are not entirely confident in - especially when you are talking about so much money.
 
Hey all my Benq G2420HDBL Monitor arrived today, all is working great, anyone know of any good settings it does look bit dark and bright white if you know what I mean.
