Hi

My 19'' has just died and I was thinking of replacing it woth something I could get better colors with like IPS or e-IPS. I saw 22'' Dell which seems to get rather nice reviews.
I need the monitor primarily for doing my web designs on and some photo retouching, a little bit of gaming as well

My budget isn't bit and I think I don't really need a huge monitor anywas as I plan to buy another monitor (same model possibly) in the future to have a pair

Any suggestions?

Either the 2209WA new or something like a 2407WFP second hand.

2209WA is more like £250 now unfortunately

thank's guys
i was thinking of going for 2209WA now I deffo will.

I noticed it's only got VGA and DVI-D connections, so I suppose a simple SCART-to-VGA cable could do if I want to connect my freeview box to it as well, right?

Doubt it, the frequencies are different. SCART is 15KHz, VGA starts at 31KHz. Unless the monitor specifically supports 15KHz input over VGA (very few do) you'll get get an 'out of range' message.
