Second monitor with tv suggestions
- Thread starter Frenzy
- Start date
I don't have own experience, but these might seem promising for you (all are IPS):
LG 23EA63V
- 23"
- DVB-T
- ~£130
LG DM2352D
- 23"
- DVB-T/C
- passive 3D
- ~£170
And just for comparison:
LG DM2752D
- 27"
- DVB-T/C
- passive 3D
- ~£300 (was closer to £200 at some point)
Though keep in mind, these kind of hybrid monitors are usually not as good for desktop usage when compared to dedicated monitors with similar price.

That's a good point to be honest, I could get a much better monitor and then a tuner separately.
Gah I should have thought this through before asking for advice, I suppose I'll have a look at what the popular gaming IPS monitors are.

Ok so I've gone through the last three pages looking for recommendations on which IPS monitor to buy, I'm confused, as usual.
My requirements are the same as above but I would like to go for 24 inch and obviously no tv tuner. There are a lot of monitors on offer now, any suggestions?

Well, there's DGM IPS-2402WDH (£200), but it's a little bit over the budget. If you can compromise one inch on the size, then take a look at Dell U2312HM. It has been quite a safe and popular choice, I think. Furthermore, it's on sale on OCUK for this week (£150). It also comes with a pivot option, which could be nice.
Also remember that the DGM has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which can be good or bad, depending on your usage.
Then there's also the LG 27EA33V, which is around £200. It's cheap for a 27", but there's no such thing as "free lunch", so don't get your hopes up for the quality. Still, might be worth a gamble.

Thanks for the reply aatu, that is INSANELY cheap for a 27inch monitor!
I had looked at the Dell U2312HM and it was a definite choice, I've also however been looking at the S2340L. I used to be a matte fan only but since having a glossy monitor I don't mind so much.
I guess that's a trade between glossy/sleek screen and pivot/usb/matte, I think I would have to see them in the flesh to decide.
I'm going to go down to ocuk on saturday and see what the staff suggest too
