Good Monitors?

[zackychuu]

So It's my birthday soon, and my mum has decided to get me a monitor.
Only I don't trust her with picking, because she is terrible with technology.
Also, I don't trust myself, because a monitor isn't something I've ever cared to look into (I'm using some 7-10 year old monitor at the moment)

I'm looking for something decent but not too expensive, my highest res right now is 1440x900 so I would like something with 1080p.
Maybe within a price range of £150 - £200 ($230 - $310 according to google)
Obviously it can be under, as I say I don't know much about monitors so my price range could be too high? lol

Honestly, I don't care about fancy amazing refresh rates, or super duper high res pixels with 1 million colours.
But if those kind of things are within the price range then it's something I could look at.

Yeah, I could do that.
But for all I know I could buy one of those, but could have spent the same money on something better.
Which is why I wanted some input from people who might know what they're talking about

get no smaller than a 24". ppl say that the 120hz ones are sweet.

Glossy v. matte is an overlooked characteristic. I can't stand glossy, personally.

This looks to be the best for your price point. http://www.amazon.com/Dell-2408WFP-...8&qid=1370971275&sr=8-1&keywords=Dell+2408WFP

Hmm, I'll have a look around at the 24" options then.

[Cock]

[Xilorator]

I Couldn't find anything for under £200 at 120Hz that is available in the UK. Shipping is a bitch.

Zacky ignore these nerds. 120 hz is not a must. What ever you get is going to be a huge improvement and will make you happy.

120hz and 240hz do nothing for you when the source is only 60hz.

That has to be the best brake down ever.
I fucking hate the interpolation effect.

yeah, eh ? ive heard ppl hyping 120hz monitors. say that a lot less motion blur.

Yeah motion blur is pretty well gone with most new sets. It was more of a problem when lcd's and plasmas were in their beginning stages, its basically been phased out.

Those look pretty nice.
Asus one looks nicer though.
The Acer one would be good if I was planning to go full on 3 screen set up.
It has almost no border from what I can see in that picture.

Thanks, Cock.

Yeah, as long as it's better than what I have now (not really hard to beat) I will probably love it.
