I am looking for a newmonitor but since I don't know anything when it comes to monitors I would like some advice before buying. I am looking for a 22" monitor with resolution up to 1920x1080 for less than £140. I seen some cheap 22" monitors for less than £110 but I don't know if they are any good.

Currently I am looking at this model. I have also seen the new LED TV in shops and the picture quality looks amazing so I am also considering this modelwhich has LED technology. I don't know if these two are any good and I also don't know what to look for when buying a new monitor. Any advice on what should I get or look for?

The first one only has vga which is an analogue signal. Avoid these as they limit the quality of the image with lower contrast and signal distortion. The second one looks ok, its 1080p, has a dvi (digital) ,has a contrast ratio of 1000 and a brightness of 250. However I'd look for a bit higher brightness and maybe contrast. This is what I have and I love it :D


EDIT- 1000 contrast not 100 lol :D

Thx for the advice guys. I think I am just going to go with the BenQ G2222HDL monitor which has the LED tech. Only think I am worried about is the brightness which is 250cd/m2. Is there a big difference between 250 and 300?

Ty again :D
