Best 19" LCD monitor for around £250-ish

[Sar]

Right, when we get the mortgage money, #2 on the list (after the house natch) is a decent flat screen, as this CRT I have is 9 years old. Despite this though it still works perfectly.

I want a bloody good LCD screen, 19" for around £250 max.

Ideas?

TIA

Interestingly enough, I just got a new 19" LCD after retiring my equally old CRT.

I went for this: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/101080

Viewsonic vx922 - it's absolutely stunning.

I've still got the Hyundai L90D as per previous threads on this subject. Still happy with it and have half thought about buying another either for the gf or for a dual display

That viewsonic monitor looks lovely Nath - I'm tempted

 

[nath]

It's utterly fantastic - the colour, the quality, oooooo.



Seriously, get it man

What's the image rescaling like on it?

My LCD in work is fairly good at it - just worried that games run outside of the Viewsonic's native res (1280*1024) will look cack :/

 

[nath]

I accidentally ran CS in 1024, looked alright. Infact it looked like a 1024 res on a 19" screen - so blocky but not so bad.

Infact, in my relatively low experience - it's the best rescaling I've seen on a tft.

For £370 you can get the new 20" dell widescreen job on ebay.

Nowt better then these dell widescreens.

I'm been pleased on Hyundai's 19" L90D+

£370 is a bit much to spend on a monitor tbh, esp as v good monitors are a lot cheaper than that.

For the difference between the dell and the viewsonic, I could get my motherboard and a good bit towards a new gfx card.

According to that the image rescaling is a bit poo.

Pity, it was looking promising otherwise: I'm comfortable running most games in 1024*768, as beyond that most games UI's tend to get tiny, whereas I like a good hi-res display in 'Doze.

Went for this one in the end. 20" widescreen Viewsonic, from Misco, and it should be here next Saturday (8th at my request, so I can be in to get it).

Reason I went for the widescreen rather than the same-priced VX922, is mainly for photoshop & painter work, as well as DVDs and games.

Plus widescreen is just lovely tbh.



Thanks for the help guys! I'll let you know what it's like when it arrives.

It's here, and it's lovely

It's fucking HUGE compared to my old one, same height (maybe a wee bit bigger) but it's a hell of a lot wider which is great in PS and Painter.

WoW looks great at that res too \o/

All in all so far a solid purchase - and I'll be using Misco again I think.
