I don't see display port connectivity in the spec for the HP monitor you linked.

Maybe this LED back lit LENOVO ThinkVision L2440x

it does have dp http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en...0-3955381.html

does my head in when they dont list the spec right.

Maybe this LED back lit LENOVO ThinkVision L2440x

that looks better at least its all black and the stand is adjustable

The HP LP2475W would be a good choice as it was available for around £360 with a discount code and cashback:

Anybody tried the displayport to HDMI/DVI converters? Only cost from about £15 and are supposed to support 1920X1200.

Seem to get good reviews online and might be worth a punt with your current monitor to see if it works OK.

I've not tried, but I also suggest this. I use a DP-DVI adaptor to hook up my laptop to a monitor.

DP-DVI/HDMI adaptors can be found for less than a tenner delivered e.g. from eBay, I got mine from DealExtreme.

the adaptors have to be active. a passive one wont work.

and that one in the link is a biz link one that everyone is having problems with the screen flashing. sapphire have just stuck a sticker on it.

so im just going to get a monitor with dp to avoid problems.

Bugger, was considering a 3rd monitor when I get a bigger desk. Might have to save up a bit more.

Thanks for the info!
