I've been looking at monitors and found a rather cheap 24" LCD, its an AOC 416v, anyone had one of these before, or have any experience with them? Just want to know what peoples thoughts were on them.

Failing the AOC I might go with the Samsung 226BW, the only thing is I want to play 1600 X 1200, which the Samsung falls short on.

...and yea, I know they're TN panels but hey, I don't have the money for anything better but I do haveaccessto some colourcalibrationtools that should help.

any comments please :)

really? I was wondering about that....I've never owned a widescreen monitor before.

If thats the case, the Samsung might be the better choice

thanks
