Hi all

I have just ordered a brand new pc for Xmas consisting of a q6600 and crossfire 3870 graphics cards. Now the decision comes to monitors.

I recently bought a 19'' LG194WT which i really really like but am now having second thoughts and maybe i should have gone a bit bigger to unleash the full power of my upcoming machine.

I think 24'' is a bit big for my 'office' ie the box room so i was thinking of a 22''.

Any ideas of which one to go for? I am not a fan of the Samsungs because of the glossy screen. I like the LG L226WTQ, some good reviews but also some not so good (which seems the general trend for every monitor at the moment!)

I also read about a LG L227WT which looks really nice but i can't find anyone that sells it at the mo.

If i should stick with my 19'' at the moment and wait for something spectacular to come along then so be it.

So the LG is favorite but i thought i would ask all you lot here for some recommendations. Budget would have to be around the £200 mark.

Fire away.............

Oh ideally it would have to be in silver (the mrs says so! ha ha)
 
Re: Samsungs and glossy screens.

I have a Samsung 275T, and neither the screen, nor the bezel are glossy.

cheers for your replies.

I see what you are saying about the 24'', i just think that will be too big for my desk/room, i suppose i could pop into the shops and see a 24'' one up close.

If i was going to stick to a 22'' i am consider the following 2:

LG L226WQT or the Samsung SM226BW.

Think i have come to the conclusion that the 19'' has got to go!
 
Go for the OCuk 24", its a great screen. My desk isnt that big either but I have a lot more room after changing from my 19" crt.

Plus you will be able to play full 1080p films should the need arise.

Also being a VA panel the picture quality is fantastic.
