Hi all, could someone please suggest a top class 23 inch monitor. Not fussy as to the make but will be used for high end gaming , dvd, graphics design etc. I have a budget of £ 250-300 max,,,,,any help appreciated and also where to buy from, preferably online.

cheers.

is it 23" exactly or 20"-24" also you know 30" are the next thing, you need to specify response time, contrat ratio and stuff, or do you not know about that stuff.

Hi, Well anywhere from 22 to 24 inches would do nicely. I looked at a few already including the samsung 22 inch syncmaster and the HP 22 inch. I personally like the look of the samsung but felt the image quality of the HP far superior. There are also the Acer and Dell ultra sharp. The dell monitor was 350 pounds plus, a tad pricey for a 20.1``.

not in my experience, because they let you customize it yourself they dont sell in the shops, so not a lot of people have heard of them because they go into bloody pcworld() to buy their computer.

They are very well known.

anyway back to the subject, the samsung syncmaster 226bw is the best your going to get for your money its £250 22" 3000:1 contrast ratio in Dynamic mode, 2ms refresh rate just go for it if you look at dells there the same price but 800:1 contrast ration and 5 ms refresh rate this is just bang for buck.
