Thoughts on monitors?

[ECA]

Looking to get two new monitors.

Buying 30"s is a waste of money can get 2x smaller screens for half the price and more utility.

I'm looking at :

ViewSonic VX2835wm - LCD display - TFT - 28": Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

HannsG HG281DP 28" Widescreen Black LCD TFT Monitor 5ms: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo


Samsung SM2693HM 26" 5MS Multimedia TFT Monitor with: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo


Samsung T260HD 26-inch Widescreen 5ms Gloss Black LCD: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo



Any other suggestions for 26-28"s or advice on which is better from those above?

T260 ismighty nice imo

The T260 I linked was the HD, the other is

Samsung T260 26-inch Widescreen LCD Monitor, 2ms: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo


I'm guessing the only difference is the T260HD has a digital tuner and the non-HD version doesnt and thus is cheaper?

erm if you're going to run them together, you're going to need a fantastic gfx card to drive that. also, in games, you can forget about one of them.

a coworker has the largest Dell, 32"(iirc?), so he can run a bunch of poker games at once, but he can only play games in the low rezzes.

If you read my OP teedles I has two graphics cards in my machine I can run multi monitors nps.

Also running poker games at low res is nps! only want to 9 table max anyway.

T260HD is the no-brainer choice out of those 4.
The contrast is better, it has more connectivity and it has a freeview tuner built in so it doubles as a TV.
ofc the non HD version you mentioned is essentially the same monitor minus the digibox bits, so definitely consider it.

Any chance a local shop has any of these in stock for you to do a visual test on? anti-glare coatings, quality of the backlight etc can make a difference.

I really doubt it

I'm a fan of dual 22" 4:3 running at 1600x1200 each atm. OK so it wont do proper HD but for WORK it's brilliant and a damn site cheaper than the 28-30 range.

Missed this reply.

I'm already on a 22" + 19" setup I need at least a 26" for my main monitor, getting dual whatevers is just epeen I guess.

I ended up buying 1x hanns G 28" and was surprised.
It's colour quality is great, better than my samsung 22" panel and it's huuuuuudge.

Would definately recommend it to anyone considering a new monitor.
