    Re: Budget Monitor

    This is a decent monitor for £105.
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/173824 1600x900. Looks nice. It's Samsung. VGA only though.


    There's also this Acer
    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/188601 1920x1080. Looks Ace (sorry ). Acer. VGA only again. Good price.

    EDIT: I know you said no more than £100, but for £10 more you can get sooo much more monitor.

    i quite like the look of those, tempted to let him have my current samsung SM2032BW and get one of these myself, plus I do fancy something a bit bigger personally than 20"
