Office - Home lab monitors

[pardal51]

hi guys,

long time since my last post.....

need a bit of assistance here... similar question to this thread

I had to return my monitors to previous employer and now will have to buy 2x with my own money.

Basically I am looking for 2x 23 or 24" monitors for mainly "office" use, i.e, home lab.... NO gaming.

I've got a Dell docking station (2x DP, 2x DVI) and will probably be looking at getting a 2nd Hand Mobile Precision M4XXX for local virtual lab.

Therefore looking at Monitors with either DP or HDMI ports and if possible with internal psu, i.e, just a kettle lead to wall socket.

Budget: as little as possible...do no even mind being refurbished with warranty....let's say £120 tops each

It seems that the AOV 23.8" i2369vm is a good contender.

Any suggestions

cheers ric

I bought the Mrs two of these:

For office work (she's an accountant). I'm pretty impressed with them. The only thing is that the stands are a bit plasticy, but that's not a problem as I bought one of these too:

Which I highly recommend BTW.

Also, if you don't need the lab to be mobile, I'd consider one of the LeNovo TS140 servers. I've got a couple and they are great machines, and there's usually a cash back offer on them (there is now).

Requirements sound fairly minimal. The only thing I would say is, make sure you get an IPS panel and not a TN one. You probably want to stick to 1080 Full HD resolution at that size if you're working as higher resolutions things can get tough to read.

I would look at Benq monitors. You can pick up 24" models with HDMI and DVI (at least) for around the £120 mark. I've got three of them and can't fault them.

hi guys,

thank you for the replies.

Yes, I am looking at IPS monitors, even though have not read about differences, etc

I quite liked the idea of the Twin Arm (thanks B0redom) and the Asus monitor looks great.

How about this slightly smaller monitor:

It seems to have quite a thin bezel and a solid enough stand.
