Re: Flat Screen TV/Monitor
Ive read bad things about the HD series of those specific Samsungs - The LG one looks good but it uses a TN panel according to ebuyer. You could try getting a normal PC monitor and then buy a Freeview box seperate, you can get some Freeview boxes with HDMI output - this way you could possibly get a better/larger monitor for a similair price.
Re: Flat Screen TV/Monitor
I would definately recommend the BenQ E2400HD like I've been recommending others. Especially if you want to use the monitor for dual/multi-purposes, without too much hassle or trouble. The E2400HD comes with VGA, DVI, and HDMI, so you could have your TV cable box (or gaming console) and computer connected to the monitor at all times, without having to deal with unplugging and plugging actions (that does become extremely annoying) everytime you want to switch around.
The E2400HD would be the one of the best choices for a 24" monitor for price + what it offers when comparing to it's competitors. With the Full HD 16:9 display + 24" of display, it makes watching movies quite a pleasurable thing to do, haha. Gaming is superb on the monitor as well as it utilizes the BenQ AMA technology which is bassically a monitor response time accelorator which projects speeds of 2ms. I own the E2200HD, and the only real difference is the 2 inches between the monitors. So if you feel that a 24" may be too big, maybe the 22" will fit you better. But then if you're looking to use it as a TV as well, I would really recommend the 24" instead, as the 2 inches does make a difference and give that that extra oompff in viewing satisfaction.
Hope that was useful!
