Spec me a new monitor please

Hi all

Looking to replace a trusty old 19" AvidAV monitor which I have had for about 5 years.

Budget is about £150ish
would like 22"-24"
Must have speakers built in (I have a headset for when quality really matters)

This looks to fit the bill perfectly:

Iiyama Prolite X2377HDS 23"

but is there anything else I should be considering.

How likley is Overclockers to have today only deal on this say Thursday or Friday next week?

Will you be using it for gaming??

Gaming wise, mainly starcraft 2.

Other than that, study, study, study.

I certainly don't want a 3D monitor

If you were a hardcore gamer I would have gone for a monitor with a better response rate.

Have you looked at Asus VE247H 24 bigger screen better spec and only an extra £12

No, I missed that, looks like a nice alternative.

Will put it on my shortlist,

Couple of the reviewers complaining about its stand though, which is a shame because I curse and bang (the desk) a lot.
