What Monitor

[JUMPURS]

Yet another what monitor question

I am looking for a new monitor circa £200 and about the 22-24 inch mark. I will use it for my PC, but would like to be able to use it for my PS3 and xbox.

Currently i have Dell 2005 fpw and was thinking about the Dell Ultrasharp U2311H but nowhere seems to have any stock of it. Also it doesn't have HDMI which would be a problem if i wanted to use consoles with it.

I also considered the LG LG W2363D but not to sure how good it would stack up against the Dell?

Any advice? Cheers

I have the Dell Ultrasharp U2311H and love it. Its easily the best monitor I have owned in the last 12 years.

Looks like there is one U2311H in stock on OCUK.

As for running a PS3/Xbox, you can use a cheap adapter like this. Plus if you want to use multiple HDMI inputs then a switch box like this works great. The only possible issue is that you need to route to sound directly out of the console.

Compared to the Dell, the LG is a bit more responsive and you can make use of the "thru mode" which eliminates input lag, it also has a native HDMI input and will run in smooth 120Hz mode when used with a PC and a dual-link DVI connection. However, in terms of image quality and viewing angles the Dell is much better and the responsiveness and input lag are still great for playing games with, hence why I would suggest going with the U2311H.
