In need of new Monitor...

[Dr_Dunce]

Post-i25 my monitor appears to have gone to meet it's maker... It flicks on with a perfect display for approximatly 1.5 seconds, then flicks back on to a black display (whils the green light stays on).
It's definatly my monitor as it doesn't work on Mandy's pc either...

Looking at monitor prices - Am I correct in thinking I'm looking at around £150 for a 17" TFT monitor?

Does anyone have any recomondations? What should I look out for.. ? Where can I get a decent quality one for decent prices?

/cry - RIP Monitor :'(

iiyama

Took delivery today of a 17" Iiyama E431-S, 8ms response time, DVI-D, real nice monitor, loving it already, picture seems to be perfect. Cost me around 200ish but well worth it IMO as I wanted dvi instead of just dsub. 0 dead pixels as well!

[Dr_Dunce]

DVI? Dsub?

</noob>

[TheDon]

dvi = digital visual interface, d-sub is the standard D shaped vga connector, the difference between the two is that dvi is digital, d-sub is analogue.

Samsung or Iiyama.

IMHO, Iiyama have gotten a little ropey of late. The quality of their CRTs isn't what it used to be. Not so sure about TFTs though.

I like my two BenQ 17" TFT's. They aren't DVI, but they are nice, crisp screens, and not a dead pixel between them.

Plus they are cheap, although the FP731 is hard to get now.

samsung :D

I have a viewsoinc VX 924 and it a good monitor and in custom pc this month the 17" version was rated as the best in class.

Best monitor imo :) 0 dead pixels the works :D £209 from scan. though this is the office version of the e431s which is £30 less but mine does funky spinning stuff.
