Hi all I'm after a new monitor.
24" up to around £200
I'm thinking either
BenQ G2420HDB

Samsung P2450H

or
Samsung B2430H

Please any advice. thanks
I'd say go for the Samsung from ebuyer. The only difference between that and the more expensive one from OCUK seems to be the response time.Quote:

Going to hijack the thread a little:
How well are Iiyama screens rated?
I'm going to be getting a 24" monitor in a couple of weeks mainly for gaming and video watching, onboard speakers prefered (but nothing special required) and HDMI ideal. This is favourite:

I like the height adjust do I can get the best match height-wise to my current 22" and it seems to have decent specs otherwise.
Can't say I'm familiar with Iiyama monitors, but Samsung, BenQ, LG, are all good :)
The Iiyama doesn't look good though = (
Btw, BenQ is releasing a monitor "VW and EW" series which use VA panels. They have viewing angles that are pretty close to the performance of IPS. I wouldn't say that IPS is better than VA, they both have their advantages and disadvantages. The 2 technologies are actually rival technologies of each other. Similar to the Sony Blu Ray and Toshiba HD DVD that was once competed with. Anyway, these monitors will have very high contrast ratio (3000:1), and will have a response time of 8ms, which is slower compared to most TN panels but faster than IPS. It's worth looking at :)
