Monitor advice

[Tonytank]

Hey Folks

Recently my trusty Samsung monitor gave up so I am naturally looking for a replacement.

So far 2 have caught my attention because of there price and availability. One is the HP 2510i 25" monitor and the other is a Hannspree 25" monitor.

Can anyway give me some advice on these monitors? I know the HP one has a glossy screen. Does that make a difference other than dusting. Is Hannspree a good make?

Thanks in advance. I am so out of touch with monitors.

+1 the 27in IPS panel 2560x1440 Korean monitors do look very nice indeed and if it is within your requirements and budget then it would be a great monitor- just make sure you understand the dead/bright pixel policies, warranty offered by the seller, customs fees and return arrangements before you put your money down.

As for other options, may I ask what you mainly use your monitor for and what approximate budget are you looking at?

As for glossy screens - this means that the surface of the LCD doesn't use an anti-glare coating, so images look more vibrant - however many people (depending on the environment they have the monitor set up in) find that these glossy screens are annoyingly reflective.

In contrast, monitors with an anti-glare coating (like most Dell Ultrasharps) don't have this issue with reflectivity, but the downside is that the image can look a bit "dirtier" and less vibrant (this does vary between monitors as not all anti-glare implementations are of the same level).

The reason why I have gone for these 2 monitors is the price they are going for.

The hp one is £100 and I can grab the Hansspree one for £80.

I appreciate the heads up with the link its just these 2 choices are really my only choices because of the low LOW price.

Any more advice or feedback on these two would be great.

Does anyone have any experiences or feed back on Hansspree monitors?
