    New PC Monitor

    Hi there guys I want to buy myself a new monitor and now I want to ask you if you have some recommendations for me which one I should buy.
    Some info: I'm searching for a monitor which has 24-26 inches and my budget would be 200-300€.
    Thanks already for your posts.

    I recommend the Hanns-g HG281Dxx or the Hannspree version (same screen just different inputs and a remote) if you can find one. These were real popular when overclockers stocked them.

    Have one of these myself and am typing on it now. Great monitor for the value, which is in your requirements. No complaints from me really, but i will say the built in speakers are the worst i have ever had

    Its a great monitor for the value but it is the very bottom in terms of quality.

    Fair bit of back light bleed if your really picky, but then for a 28" screen its a bargain.

    I've recently been looking at the G2420HDBL which I think is the LED backlit version of that monitor, but it has no HDMI. It retails at around £150 which is a real bargain imo, getting some great reviews too.

    Are LED versions worth it? What are the benefits other than lower power consumption?

    £150?! I've been wanting a second monitor so I can have my 360 and PC up at the same time (it's a pain in the ass switching the VGA cables over all the time!). Might just have found one

    Yah Benq seem to do faily well for the low end panels, whatever you do stay away from LG, all marketing no true quality, including their LCD TVs. anyone who says different is an idiot or an employee in their marketing department...about half their company based on their engineering.
