    19" LG L1980Q or

    OR

    Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW 20" widescreen

    The only bad thing i can find about LG is, where the dvi cable attaches it tends to stick out te back a bit too far.

    Heard a couple of bad things about back lighting on the Dell Screen.

    What do you think guys?

    Thanks

    I Have the 1980Q, and it is sweet, not a dead pixel on there, colour reproduction is good, nice response times, coolest buttons ever, The DVI cable sticks out maybe an inch, but its from the back of the stand, so its not too huge a deal. And you can turn the power LED on and off in software, which is nice.

    is there any chance you could measure from where the dvi sticks out to the front of the base?

    I'm pushed for space you see....

    many thanks

    One thing i've read about LG (on Ebuyer comments) is they will supply a reconditioned monitor should the new one fail within warranty

    Has put me off buying their stuff.

    From the front of the circular base to the back of the DVI connector is almost exactly a foot, obviously youll need a bit more space than that,but it depends where your cable is running from. Total width (incl bezel) is about 45 cm Lowest it will possibly go is 37cm to top of bezel, assuming youre not having it facing up. It also comes with all the wall mounting gear you need.

    Anything else you need let me know.

    45cm....are you sure?

    I mean from the back of the DVI connector to the front of the round base.

    Any chance you could take a picture for me then use something to compare it with??

    many thanks

    The width is 45cm, as in from one side of the display to the other. the round bit itself is 26cm at its widest point.

    No, from the back of the DVI connector to the front of the base is a foot, 30cm, the round bit is 26cm, as in, a parrallel to the screen would be 26cm.

    Should maybe not have given so many dimensions at once.

    Anyway, if theres anything else.
