thanks for the help guys i have setup the sony screen luckly the 2 screens have exactally the same contrast ratio's and i have messed with the brightness so they are about the same i have seen on e bay another acer monitor same model for £50 so gonna snap that up i think

i have the sony running off hdmi. the acer off the dvi so the new monitor will have to run off the mini dp will this cable work?
