As with most things I cannot make up my own mind, hence the post on here.
I'm building a new pc soon with a friend who has more knowledge than me, but my priority is the monitor as I don't currently have one - I'm using a small old flat screen TV and have been for some time.
Main uses
Something within the region of £200 and 23-24 inch, nothing bigger is needed I don't think.
The main brands I have been looking at are Dell, Iiyama, Samsung, HP. Lower ms the better, I notice some of the Iiyama are 8ms
Things to consider
Please help me choose - also does the size of the screen (output quality) depend on the graphics card I have or intend to get?

Main uses
- Possibly ocasional gaming
- Day to day use
- Watch iplayer on (daughter loves to watch Cbeebies!)
- Playback of video, photos etc

Things to consider
- Stand quality - some stands are so poorly built and the screen appears top heavy
- Dead/stuck pixels are a massive concern, although unless I go directly to Dell to take advantage of their no dead pixel policy (as stated by OC sales) on their top end monitors, such as the Ultrasharp, there is no escape. I queried this policy with sales on here but was told it had to be bought directly from Dell for this.
