    I was impressed with the BenQ G2222HDL which got for a friend for under £120 a few weeks ago. Think there are a a raft of LED backlit panels making an appearance atm so there might be even better quality/value out there by now, though.

    I'm also looking at monitors right now around 22 to 24 inches, 1080p.
    Ideally I don't want to spend more than £160 and want something for gaming and movies. I gather response time isn't an issue but backlight bleed and contrast ratios are.
    I've been looking thru reviews and its not getting any easier to decide!

    Any suggestions might alleviate the oncoming headache I have brewing....

    Screw it, I've decided to stick with my original choice:

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/23-LG...-1080p-Full-HD

    It's 1080p, has HDMI input and reviews seem favourable. Also its only £150 from amazon. The 22" version is only £130 from Amazon. Wondering if it's worth saving the cash and getting the slightly smaller model... no I'll stick with my decision... i think
