    Recommend me a £300 monitor

    Hey everyone,

    I'm after a monitor for under £300 used for gaming, movies, programming and staring at for hours on end.

    Should I go for a really good 22" or decent 24"?

    I have seen those 24" PVA monitors like the DGM ones and people rate them highly, the only problem is they don't seem to be build very well with a lot of people having to return them due to various problems.


    So thanks for any help and info you may have.

    Re: Recommend me a £300 monitor

    I've been recommending the yuraku (the better version of the same monitor by DGM) as everyone that i know who has one are very happy with it. the lcd panel itself is exactly the same as many other more expensive monitors, only a few companies in the world actually madke panels. afaik all the DGM/yuraku monitors have a samsung panel. the problem therefore seems to have been a faulty batch of the actually panel rather than the actually make. I've got a 400 quidish hyundai monitor and had to return it for returns recently, but others don't. it's luck really.

    the big difference in price is down to the extras the manufacturers put into the actual monitor. like the stand, number of inputs and also any other tech they add to the panel i.e. overdrive to make the pixel response time quicker. there are next to none (think there maybe one or even no) 22" monitors that are PVA, so unless you want to fork out more money on an even more expensive IPS monitor i''d get the 24" yuraku any day of the week. btw i say yuraku is better than the DGM version as it is HDCP.
