Monitor recommendations please :P

Theres so many to choose from its kinda confusing. Basically i want a 22" lcd monitor for my pc, i want it full hd (1920x1080) and 2 ms response time. Also no more than £140 please. If you could find me a decent one from a uk site that would be great ^^

Exactly would you need:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-G2222HDL-Widescreen-Back-Light-Monitor/dp/B002UJ31A0

Overclockers UK is a decent site I've used a few times over the last few years for ordering parts and my latest monitor -BenQ G2420HDBL 24" Widescreen LED Monitor

That is slightly above your price range, but there is a slightly smaller version with the BenQ G2222HDL 21.5" Widescreen LED Monitor for £130 +Delivery

There are quite a few other monitors on the site, though not many that fit your requirements for 1080p, 2ms response and sub £140, but you might see something you like. Overclockers have a weekly deals section which changes every Wednesday (I think) so check back from time to time and the monitor you want might get a price drop.

Other UK sites worth checking out are Dabs, Scan and ebuyer (for some reason Gamespot keeps giving me errors when I add those as links)

I am looking to upgrade too, do they make one of those in a 24 inch or a 25.5 inch? (or anywhere in between of course)?

I am in the United States btw.

Sweet, I hear these are excellent gaming monitors. BenQ I mean.

hmm, they probably don't make one in 25.5 inches do they?

No.

But this would definitely be an adequate monitor for gaming though right?

It would be an excellent choice for the price. If you want the best 30" the price would triple.

Thanks desertpython and avenger for your feedback, i've been looking at overclockers and amazon actually, and the BenQ models definitely caught my eye. Now amazon is really confusing, it seems like they cannot get the specs right, for example desertpython that link shows on description 2 ms, but in the details say it is 5ms? lol, anyway cheers guys, also what do you think about the Iiyami range? Are they good?

The liyami range is good too, and ignore the response time. You won't see any blur/smearing.

They are both fine. Pick the one you want - that 3 year model on the liyama may be more important. Either way when you do buy it get the drivers off the manufacturer's website or windows update and then calibrate the monitor; just type in calibrate in the start menu.

Hmm I will have to do this once, I get my new monitor,

Also when I give my current monitor to my gf, we are gonna try calibrating it by doing exactly that.

Leakage would be backlight leakage depending on the viewing angle, I don't think it would be a big deal. The liyama has a 3 year warranty, not sure about the BenQ, so the choice is up to you. Calibration involves gamma, yes, and Windows 7 will walk you through it so to speak.

[QUOTE="sn4k3_64"] Thanks for replying so fast btw, also do you mean the 3 year warranty? Only thing putting me off it, is the reviewer said some magazines reported leakage :S, dnt know what thats all about lol :S. Is that the calibration with the gamma and what not? Thx again :)sn4k3_64

Calibration may help, with an emphasis on may.

[QUOTE="sn4k3_64"] I see, well to be honest im not sure if that calibration is going to be effective, but i'll probably give it ago anyway (i just tried it now xD), anyways cheers for helping, appreciate that.sn4k3_64

That's the idea.

[QUOTE="desertpython"]

[QUOTE="sn4k3_64"] Isnt it just designed to calibrate the colours, like the shades of gray etc and not the actual screen position? sn4k3_64

That's the idea.

True, otherwise you can use the menu controls and adjust the controls yourself.

The AOC e2236VW is a great cheap monitor. imprezawrx500

I wouldn't bother. AOC makes some truly horrible cheap monitors to keep the price down.

I went for the BenQ G2222HDL in the end guys, led backlit, good response time, loads of good reviews, and got 5 stars on expert review so it looks promising :P. Cant wait to see what its like xD

Respond back and let us know how good the picture is, and how well it is with games, dark ones, and colorful ones, if you don't mind :). I am very interested to hear how you like it.

Cool guys, alright. From what i've heard it has a very good picture, apparently led have better picture quality anyway. Well i'll let you know what i think :)
