is everyone getting a 24" monitor!!

Bouncer · 23 Feb 2008 at 23:51

Not so long ago all the questions were about which 20" monitor to get, now everyone needs a 24" it seems!

Just goes to show how quickly prices move in this game. We'll all be wondering about the 27" dell next!

lol, tell me about it, I dunno why I suddenly want a Uber dooper 24" screen, but the more I think about it the more my 19" widescreen shrinks in size

I have a 19" and don't plan on upgrading.

I have a 19" and do plan on upgrading

Only because my brother got a 24" recently and I love the amount of screen space at 1920x1200

I have a 30" and don't plan on downgrading

im on a 17" TFT and a 21" CRT, i want to get a 24"

Damn I had my DELL 24" Nearly three years (april 2005 £600), been thinking of moving up to something else but not sure whether to go the 30" DELL route or perhaps get something a bit more Home-Cinema orientated (i.e 40" Plasma etc).

These HD LCD/Plasma TVs that are meant to be able to run a 1920x1080 picture, does that include windows resolution and gaming too?

I have a 19" LCD but all they seem to make these days are bloomin widescreen!! I need HDCP

shrek2 · 24 Feb 2008 at 05:53

I plan on upgrading to a 27" screen pretty soon.

james.miller · 24 Feb 2008 at 05:54

24" is just right

id consider a 27" if the resolution was increased, but as it is they offer no real advantage over the 24" i have now

Rob43 · 24 Feb 2008 at 12:07

Moved up to a 24" in dec from a 20" & loving it

I have been using 2 17" panels for quite a while - handy as one can have a program on each screen and copy data across. However, a few weeks ago, my son popped his 24" monitor on my desk to use while he sorted out things as he was off the Welsh LAN. Well, he took the screen away on Wednesday to pack, so, of course I had to order a 24" OCUK Value screen. At £220 inc VAT and delivery it is an amazing screen so if you are thinking of buying look at this one first. I have no dead pixels and it looks stunning.

I would have thought 24" was now big enough but I bet we have a 30" OCUK screen in a couple of years - its how the technology goes.

1 24" and 2 20"s here

Not sure I could go back from 64" xD

james.miller · 24 Feb 2008 at 13:40

oooh Andelusion, do you think we could get some pics of that? im thinking crazy thoughts about buying a 20" or two to run alongside my 24 lol

perox · 24 Feb 2008 at 13:43

I really wish I went for a 24" instead of my 20", no doubt I will upgrade sometime soon.

Sorry about crappy pics, I can't use cameras.

james.miller · 24 Feb 2008 at 13:52

ah yes, ive seen them before. niiiice. ill have to resis pressing that button lol

Kanifee · 24 Feb 2008 at 13:53

went form 19" lcd to 15"crt while i waited for my 22" widescreen, i dont plan on upgrading to a 24" or bigger for atleast 2 years as i dont believe there will be a styandard of single card solutions baring topend GTX models that can run the games at native the way i like it to look. so effectivly a 24"+ monitor will cost £300 to run before you pay for it.

taz488 · 24 Feb 2008 at 13:59

depends *** gpu standard you can afford to keep, i cant afford to keep buying £300 cards so i got 19"

never used any bigger so dont really feel the need to go bigger

Marky · 24 Feb 2008 at 14:11

Because I'm upgrading my computer - It's was only the natural decision to upgrade my screen
