    Suggestions on new monitor/tv

    I'm after an LED monitor or tv to replace my HP x23LED montior..it has a dead pixel which is driving me insane!

    So what i need from it,

    Obviously to support 1080, i use both my ps3 and PC on the screen (to save space) so it needs to be good with colours as i need to be able to see my enemy when i'm tea bagging them

    It can have just dvi input as i have the cable for the ps3, obviously an hdmi input would be handy!

    i would also like to stick with 23 inch

    Thnkas guys!

    I picked up an Iiyama ProLite 27" monitor for a couple hundred squid over Christmas, which I am very happy with.

    Their 23" models have analogue, DVI-D and HDMI, 1920x1080 and tend to be around £130.

    I find it hard to recommend anything other than the Dell Ultrasharp screens

    I'd vote for Dell, too. The trouble is, you run the risk of getting dead pixels on any monitor you buy, although the policy for each manufacturer is different. If you buy online, you can also send it back under the DSR, but you'd have to pay postage. I've bought monitors from Saverstore.com in the past, & they allowed me to check the monitor at their shop before buying it...it took 3 attempts to find a perfect one though!

    Any price range? I would suggest getting an IPS monitor.

    If you can afford the Dell, get it : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-Ultrash...ds=dell+u2412m

    Otherwise you can try the AOC one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AOC-I2367FH-...eywords=AOC+23
