Hi there,

I'm currently running a single monitor, a Samsung SM206BW 20" and am looking at expanding into a dual-monitor setup.

Essentially, I am looking for suggestions as to monitors to look at, preferably fitting the requirements below:

Size: No bigger than 22", preferably 20/22"
Resolution: HD
Connections: DVI & HDMI (Computer & 360)
Price: Reasonable . . . maybe £200, though I can probably stretch a little bit over.
Good colour reproduction, decent response time, though the Samsung is 2ms, so this isn't needed as much.

I would be using it for the 360 gaming, as well as PC gaming, graphics, Lighting Design (don't ask! but one of the reasons I want good colour reproduction) They're the main uses, other than internet & word processing.

So, fire away with your suggestions!

EDIT: Oh, probably looking for 16:10 as well

Thanks, nice to know that someone read it :p

Do you have any experience with TV tuners in monitors? Those first two are tempting. Not that I need a TV tuner . . .
 
any reason not to get another samsung ?
probably a nice match style wise
I have a tv tuner in a monitor which I have never used
the aeriel goes into a tv card in the pc instead
best thing I have bought is a 1920 resolution monitor though so I would go for a 22"
 
No reason in particular, except that I would like the HDMI connection for the 360, rather than having to jerryrig it, and HD would be nice, though only the Asus from the list above has true HD. The contrast ratio on my samsung isn't great either.
 
asus looks like the winner, hdmi input also the 3 year wty is good, I had to return a monitor after 10 months and it cost me £ 15 to post it back
 
Yeah, out of those I think the Asus will probably be the one, particularly as a friend recommended it whilst suggesting I post here and ask you guys, and with the addition of the offer, well, I guess my bank account can take the punch this time :p
