    Replace my BW Syncmasters with....?

    I've Googled and searched this forum for ideas to replace my two monitors but there are so many to choose from so I need a little help please?!

    I currently have 1x 2443BW in landscape as my primary and 1x 2043BW in portrait as my secondary, I like this set up a lot.

    So I think it's time to upgrade, only because were I sit the sun reflects badly and in some dark games it's hard to see what's going on. I'm thinking I would like the same, a 24 and a 20inch (landscape and portrait) which is good for gaming and LED so the sun wont be as much of an issue. Preferably brand match too for my OCD!

    Looking to spend up to £200 (but less if possible) for primary and £175 for secondary.

    Any ideas????

    there arent many monitors that like being in the sun, maybe its time to spend the brass on some blinds?

    Not sure about the whole sun issue, no monitor deals particularly well with it (that I know of)

    Generally monitor wise, you can't really go wrong with DELL, you could get a 2412M and 2312M, I currently run a similar setup (U2711 and then U2311H vertically)

    Perhaps the better question is what are the replacements going to do that your current setup doesn't?

    Imho, it is only worth replacing if the new ones will give you something new, or your current ones are now broken....
