    2xMonitors for Gaming, Web Development

    Hey guys.

    I want dual monitors. At the moment I have a 24" Dell, (up for sale), and saw the Samsung SM2343BW.

    Might order 2 of these!

    Don't really want to pay more than £200 per monitor..

    Any other alternatives?

    Why sell the monitor you have, you could just get another?

    If space is an issue, why not just get the smallest 1920x1080 screens you can find?

    I'm sure I've seen them before at 21.5 and 22" dimensions.

    You're going to replace a half decent 24" monitor with a slightly higher resolution but nasty TN panel?

    Fair enough if you're running games, but I'd prefer something with higher colour gamut.

    +1 on what Snooty said. Or of course you could just get a nice 30"

    Can't really afford a crazy screen, although I'd love a expensive IPS panel I cannot justify it..
