    Which 24 inch monitor is best value for money?

    I am not after anything cheap but something with the most bang for buck

    Upgrading from a Samsung 2232MW and wan't to get one or more than likely 2 24inch Screens with 1920x1080 resolution or better, what do you recommend? Don't want anything cheap but something that is a good buy would be nice. Don't need built in speakers etc, thanks all

    Oh yes, I don't want to see a dell badge on my desk either

    Budget will set you between TN, PVA and IPS panel.

    Are you looking at best of TN or best of PVA? The price difference is huge and so is the picture quality.

    It depends on how fussy you are, TN is generally fine for 90% of users. They tend be cheaper, and their viewing angles are not so good. PVA in the other hand have larger viewing angles, crispier image but much more expensive.
