New monitor ~£200

wkingsnorth · 6 Oct 2011 at 12:02

Basically, I'm want a new monitor, around £200. There are no real restrictions but I would prefer 1080p, a dvi/hdmi input and at least 24". I've had look and I was wondering about getting http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-028-AS&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat= but if there is a better alternative, I would prefer to get it rather than find out later

Thanks

New: I could get a Dell P2310h for £120. Good deal?

Hi there,

May I ask what you will be mainly using the monitor for? (eg gaming, internet browsing, office apps, photo editing, CAD, playing videos)

Gaming and office apps

Purely for gaming, I would go for the 120Hz LG W2363D (here is a review).

For a more general workload (which does include gaming) I would suggest going for the Dell U2312HM (review here) which uses a high quality E-IPS panel.

the dell looks interesting. What about the p2310h I can get for £120?

It's not a bad price for a 23in monitor - but compared to the other monitors I mentioned it is only a 60Hz TN panel monitor ( the LG is a 120Hz TN and the U2312HM is a 60Hz E-IPS)- so not particularly amazing for either gaming or general use.

That would be pretty stupid. you already have a 19" and a 27" TV. TBH, the P2310h will satisfy your needs. spend the £80 saving on a cleaner - your room needs it

I reckon I have to go with the P2310h simply because I can get it for £100 cheaper
