Well ive just seen a 19" widescreen similar to the hans g for £86 :eek: , which is pretty sweet price, so i was thinking bout taking the dip, i currently have a 17" crt, so i was wondering...

How does it compare size wise? Any1 got a link to that compare monitors thing?

And if anyones recently made the move, have you regretted it?

And finaly, are the cheaper models of monitor any good? i cant see much difference in a £30 dearer asus model other than branding, this true?

Thanks in advance if anyones got any answers to my many questions :D
 
its the one ocuk sell for 96, the hans star or something, or hans spree.

so anyone gone from a 17" crt to 19" ws tft ?
 
nice one! the 19" WS would have less pixels, but roughly the same hight and quite a bit wider, think i might go for it.

on a 19" WS is 1400*768 the max resolution?, because i prefer a higher resolution for my desktop. i use 1280 * 1024 on my 17"
 
cheers for advice, theres a value 20.1 inch (not ws) on sale at ocuk for 117 ish, which seems a better deal as its got a decent resolution...

any views on this?

the only thing that would make me hesitate in buying this is the fact that it is 20" and ive only got a 7600GT, so dont know whether id get decent settings on the newer games any more, and i dont wanna upgrade my gpu yet :p
 
so, might help to generalise it a bit, whats the best monitor for under £120?

i think im gonna just go for it, i think its the best 19" ws for under 120 as specs are generally around 300 brightness (cant remember unit), its 5ms response and contrast ratio 1600:1 is high for price looking at all other monitors.

any chance people have pics of their 19" ws's for a look at the real life size?
 
yea im lookin at the exact same one, been looking about a bit and its got the best specs for under 120 i think, and i can get it for 115 from my local shop so no delivery costs. just gonna keep lookin and do a bit more research before i buy :p which is what i do with everything pc related that i buy, ive been looking through the desktop gallery thread thing and the 19" ws looks a decent size compared to my current crt.
 
got the above monitor and its pretty SWEET :p, got dual monitor setup with my old crt, and the colours on the new tft are a lot nicer, and reading text is alright too, im pleased with my purchase and the monitor, although its not any taller it seems a lot bigger with it being widescreen, i dont realy notice that its not that tall.

and dual monitors rocks! even if one is a large black box of a crt :D

also very surprisingly the blacks look blacker in daylight, might just be the contrast :)
