Hi guys,

My sammy monitor finally died, so time for a new model, i am fancying a 21.5-23 inch to save space on desk. it will be used for studying, web design, photoshop and general pc use. mostly watch movies thru a connected tv.

Quite fancy an LED too and since it wud be used for a pc and a revo i need 2 connections ideally 2 hdmi & 1 dvi so i cud also use the laptop if needed. the 2nd hdmi isnt vital but would be handy.

I am also thinking of using a wall mounted swing arm to save space on the desk. any suggestions on these would be appreciated too. thanks

I would suggest the Dell U2311H, this adapter and this HDMI 3 port switch (to get all the inputs you want).

Here is an in-depth review of the Dell .

The U2311H uses an E-IPS panel, so it is excellent for web design and photoshop as it displays very accurate colours and has very wide viewing angles so colours don't shift when you move your head slightly.

Or for less you could get the LG W2363D which has two hdmi and a dvi-d inputs its not as good as the dell for picture quality but it is still an amazing monitor for the price I just received mine today and it is awesome for playing games like crysis 2

Yes the dell is a nice monitor but i cannot get over how chunky it is, also would rather not have to have extra cable and adapters sticking out the back.

the LG certainly looks a bit nicer 2 hdmi wud be good too, i don't really need the 3d and i don't game at all.

How accurate are the colours? Are the speakers decent enough? not for movies but to occasionally listen to trailers, youtube or spotify? seems to fit the bill.

I'm loving the sound of the uber thin hp leds x2301 coming up and the new xl2370hd but not seen em yet. also the uber thin lg leds too.

So many monitors to choose from! can't leave it too long tho the colours on a tv aren't great for pc use.

Just read that it doesn't have speakers at all even though they are listed, ocuk perhaps should correct this?
