New Screen Advice

I have a 3 year old Hyundai L70S+ (17") and it is getting a bit small for my liking. I have a budget of about £175 but I am unsure of what I want to get... something ideally between 20" and 22".

Any recommendations?

Although 22" is bigger, I have heard that they aren't as good as the 20" monitors?

20 arent any better then a 22 if there both tn panels but some 20's are better panel types.

I have a Cibix 22" and it's v nice, I'd recomend it.

From the shop I was looking at this one:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-052-HY&groupid=17&catid=949&subcat=

Does it have a TN panel?

I have an ATI 1900XTX, so it would be best to get one with a digital input right?

yeah that's a TN panel.

and the input doesn't make much difference, you can use an adapter anyway, and most modern screens are DVI anyway.

Of the one I linked above, there is a analogue and digital version... about £6 difference between the two. It must make some sort of difference?

ah, well presuming you're gpu has a dvi output, then get the dvi model. although I'm pretty sure you can just use an adapter if you have one though, But I'm not 100% sure what defference it makes. have to see what somebody else says i guess.

All 22" screens are TN panels as far as i am aware, you can normally tell by the 20" screens soon as you see 178x178 viewing angles means its got one of the better screens in.

fini is taking the **** out of me saying that I am buying the cheapest and therefore the worst TFT... anyone got any differing views?

Danger Phoenix · 20 Oct 2007 at 13:15

Anyone have any other suggestions for 22" TFTs?

Hyundi one will be fine, if you want to save money. imo the difference isn't worth the extra cost.
