Upgrade from AL1916w?

dokko · 19 Dec 2006 at 12:11

My lass is looking for a computer for uni so im thinking of selling my old one to her, putting it in a new case to match this monitor i use currently and buying a new TFT, only i dont know which are the best these days.

I'd have £200 straight upfront to spend on a tft, however i might push to £300 if i can get a corker.

I'm currently using this TFT for PC games & web browsing, but more recently, my Xbox 360.

With only one input am forever switching, although not that annoying, if i could get a TFT which allows me not to do that, i'd be very happy.

The Acer also suffer from backlight bleed a lot, and washed out colours, the BLB isn't too much of an issue but colours look faded especially on the 360 where i cant adjust the screen enough to compensate.

The Belinea 2225S1W 22 caught my eye, 22" for £230 looks a bargain, but 16.2m & 1 input, should i stick with 19" and get a 16.7m and with DVI? (Belinea 102035W 20.1 for £240?)

So any ideas are welcome cheers.

£200 for an Acer AL1916w (which i just bought in the summer for near that price) + a decent base unit, plus me having to buy out of that money a new shiny case, speakers, keyboard & mouse, then yes.

If your hear to pass judgment on my situation without knowing a single fact about me then kindly remove yourself from this thread you troll.

lol - calm down jezus, it was a joke, where's your crimbo spirit

I guess you really are Ebeneeza! :mad:

on the TFT front I had the same dilema, but instead of going for the Belinea I went for the Asus -> even more dosh.

But the Belinea seems to have some good reviews and for the price don't seem bad even though it has no DVI

Sorry, took that waaaaay too personally.

How is the Asus doing, and do you use it with a 360?

Unfortuantely i don't get my delivery till Saturday (they won't deliver to my work as it's my forst order!) So I can't give you hands on info!

No I don't have an XBOX, I see no point in paying money for a console that is less powerfull than my PC and on top of which the games are WAY more than i'm prepared to pay for a game.

But what if you don't plan on using the TFT for your Xbox one would say save some money, but if you want to play games and higher res stuff, is it really worth saving £60.00 , it is gonna be an investement for a few years isn't it?
