    Monitor reccomendations?

    Hi all,

    im am going to be upgrading and buying a whole new rig in the next two months with a 8800GTS setup.

    basically my question is what monitor is reccomended for this card for a price in the smallest money possible. Preferable around the £130-£200 mark if thats possible..

    preferably widescreen and as long as its 19" or higher doubt itd be possible to get 22" or more for that. gota look nice as in the on screen pic and will be used for quite alot of gaming. but not bothered at all about rotating and all that pointless rubbish as if i wanted it to rotate ill just move the stand around thx

    will take ebay into account too but just need some specific monitor suggestions then i can go price hunting

    i was looking at this bellina from Ocuk which sounds quite good but not too sure really

    I've heard that some of the Xerox flat panels come with a shiny coating that makes them especially glare-prone...

    If you can wait a few weeks I think there's some new ones coming out around the 200 quid mark that look quite special.

    I'd go for the Belinea myself. M8 has one and he is an RTS and FPS player. The screen is top notch hence the CPC award. It is also well suited to the GTS with the native resolution.

    I recently bought the Samsung SM205BW 20" Widescreen and have been very pleased. Can be had for a smidge under £200 (before delivery) from Amazon which is an excellent price too. Get's itself a lot of praise round the internet.
