Hello there.

Im looking at monitors, im currently using a 22" belinea monitor (was cheapest on ocuk about 2 yrs ago ish?)
And its a fab monitor.

But im looking for somthing a tad bigger for as cheap as possible,

What are the key things i need to look for, for the best quality.
Is a higher or lower contrast ratio better? i know that 1 stands for the black, and the other how bright it is or somthing, but does it matter that much if it was 1:1000 compaired to 1:3000 or even 1:20,000?

And what panels etc are best for viewing angle etc?
And on a 26" or 28" would 1920x1200 lookg allright? or would it be blury because its a resolution for the 24"? or would it be the same as 1680x1050 on my 22" fairly crisp?

Allso what would the difference be connecting the monitor to my pc via the normal lead (one with the blue end) and connecting it via a hdmi to my pc?


and well yeh :) what do you reccomend? i like the look of these two but i dont know much about monitors.

thanks
