Help! New monitor for other halfs mum...

HELP!
I really know nothing about the current gen of TFT's as I am still a CRT person...
She used to a really dreadful old Dell screen which the cats have killed by sleeping on it.

Her requirements

22-24" screen.
Must look good. :rolleyes:

1920x1080 or 1200 resolution
Suitable for plugging a Virgin media HD box into it - so I'm guessing reasonable colours and minimal motion blur
Under £200

Was thinking of the LG W2261V 22" screen as it seems pretty well received and has a decent warranty..
Anyone got any other suggestions of what to look at?

Cheers.

Good picture and even has a nice bezel.

Not full HD though...

Seems to fit what you've asked for

Good Dell screen, 3 year warranty... doesn't look massively good asthetically, but not bad either. HDMI input for the Virgin HD box, DVI/VGA for PC.

The Hyundai H245W would get my vote.

Look good and has the ports needed, even have a few ££ left for Xmas!

I remember when my cats used to sleep on top of our CRTs

Was quite annoying when they still tried to climb on top of the TFTs when we replaced them...

Cheers for the suggestions. Have forwarded to other halfs mum for her to decide which is prettier.

Fujitsu AMILO XL 3220T

Damn well looks good, full HD and can be had for 135 notes, so T220 money.
