What monitor to have? 22"/24"

Corbula · 3 Jul 2008 at 14:46

I don't know a lot about monitor in terms of the panels they use and such. Any ideas on a good monitor? Either a 22" or a 24" for gaming. Ive got a limit of about £250.

P.S. What make is OcUK (i know its overclockers, but they don't actually make it.

The best 22 inch for gaming is one of:

Samsung 226BW
Iiyama E2201W-B1

Im thinking of the 24" OcUK one on this week only

2 of my clan buddies have purchased that 24" panel and love it. wished it was about when I brought my SM226CW which is also a nice panel. So you can't go wrong either way.

The 226BW has varied panels so you could potentially get a screen that is poorly calibrated out of the box like i did. I spent £50 on a hardware calibration tool (pantone huey) which has fixed the problem. I won't be buying a Samsung monitor again though.

i have 2 acer p223w and love them i recommend them,

i use them for everything from watching films to playing games to my photography work and fine them very nice to look at all day,

also the different modes make it very nice to change from watching a film to reading a web page with out hurting your eyes

I have the OcUk (DGM) monitor and its great.

Some people have had problems (based on the OcUK monitor thread) but it's such a great price for a 24" VA panel.

samsung SM-2232BW over here
it cost me £200 at christmas but is about £230 on ocuk at the moment as i was looking at getting another

its great - no faults base is a little wobbly if you dont have a sturdy desk but how often do you really touch the monitor?

why not try this one as it is £180 and has very similar spec
