    Re: >£190 for a 24" monitor?!

    No DVI on either monitors... At that resolution it's mandatory for good image quality, also no HDCP.

    DVI's the white 1, VGA the blue, yeah?
    does it really make such a big difference to picture quality?

    You got it, DVI the white plug, VGA the blue.

    Using VGA isn't so much of an issue on lower resolution monitors, but on 20"+ monitors it's easier to see the difference, especially on cheap ones. Even so, it's not a big problem. It's just if you're used to high quality pictures, using VGA can get a bit irritating sometimes.

    Re: >£190 for a 24" monitor?!

    Although in your defence DDY it doesn't say it under "Connector" where it only lists "D-sub and audio in". Although it does say it further up the specification as its own line.

    I didn't think d-sub could go that high on resolution I thought it capped out 1600x1200 / 1680x1050

    Re: >£190 for a 24" monitor?!

    try dell, they usually have offers on, quick delivery, reliable. might not have the same contrast ratio as more expensive ones but 5ms and 1:1000 aint bad for under 200 quid (in the last sale was 195 ish for 24")

    Noticed Scan had this http://www.scan.co.uk/product.aspx?ProductId=26860 on today only when I was looking this morning.. £163.33 with DVI and cheaper than both the ones you linked too? If I had the cash, would be tempted myself!
