i was just wondering if the monitor im being offered is better? i know its 2 inches bigger. and i know at 70 pound its really cheap, he needs the money. the monitor is like brand new, went and viewed it already. So can anyone tell me if it would be worth me getting that and getting rid of mine. or is the viewsonic better?

thanks guys

So my viewsonic is better?

so even for the extra 2 inches of screen, you all think i should pass on this other monitor.

Are you needing to plug in a PC as well as HDMI source (such as games console, HDTV box or Blu-ray player)?

If you are just connecting the PC, then DVI will be just as good as HDMI - as the image quality is the same.

no mate, just for pc gaming. dvi is the same as hdmi? is it exactly the same? i did not know that.

sorry for double posting, ive done it before realising.
