Need 22" Monitor.

Hi there,

Looking to get a new 22" monitor from OCUK to replace my Samsung 22" Pebble that has just died (squealing capacitor, doesn't turn on properly to display a picture anymore).

I prefer the 1680x1050 res for scaling and performance reasons.

My budget is up to £175.00 but no higher.

Just wondering what the best one is nowadays for gaming

Much appreciated!

that was exactly the one i was looking at, ta

logical replacement for my last one, methinks!

5m/s didn't seem too bad for ghosting, either.

now for OCUK to get some stock !

surely you want 1080p ?

whats the reasons for not getting it ?

Infernox

1080p? i won't be playing console or watching many films on it

also i wasn't aware you could get 1080p on that resolution!

yeah... i'm happy with 1680x1050 as an effective gaming resolution.

also it means i don't need to upgrade my GPU twice as often

currently sitting on a new 6870 but don't have a Crossfire-compliant mobo/PSU

so 1680x1050 just seems like a 'wiser' long-term investment
