£250 budget for 22" monitor

[Goose]

I should be getting my tax rebate soon so i'm going to treat myself to a new monitor to compliment my new rig. I should have around £250 to spend, but if need be, i could stretch it a bit.

Any recommendations?

So far i really like this one from LG:

Any help is appreciated.

Was just going to recommend that one. Seems like the dogs from the specs.. I'd like to test one though.

That's more of a TV / TFT, will you be hooking it up to a PS2 / freeview box or will it only be for the PC?

This has has quite alot of praise, although i think its only got a VGA cable, not too much of a problem:

Yeh i saw that one and was considering it, but for just £50 more you get a HD ready TV as well. Also, later this year or early next year i am looking to get a PS3 (when the price goes down) and this would be great to play it on as well.

I bargain it seems..... Must be summut up with it. Its on offer today as well.

1000:1 compared to the 3000:1 contrast ratio of the LG.

5ms compared to the 2ms refresh rate of the LG.

Now I know manufacturer specs have to be taken with a pinch of salt but I think the final nail in that monitor's coffin is the fact it's f'ugly.

EDIT: It has a narrower viewing angle too!

Yeah, when summut looks too good to be true, it no doubt is

Haha just read my previous post back and it sounds kinda harsh, nothing personal mrwacko!

It's not a true 3000:1 in the LG..but they are nice.
