I'm asking for recommendations on which monitor I should buy. Here's my criteria:
  • Decent size. I don't need a massive one. Will be used for a desktop (I want to replace my 17" standard Dell LCD)
  • At least widescreen, obviously but it would be very desirable if it can do 720P or higher
  • Below £300.
  • Can accept the following inputs: HDMI, VGA, DVI. Having component will also be nice but it's not really "necessary".
  • Switch between different inputs.
  • Great response time and contrast ratio (IIRC)
I usually use the monitor for regular computing but I want to switch to a widescreen one since I want to use the new monitor for "Extended desktop" as I will be doing a lot of programming and other stuff for uni. Also, I use it for gaming. I love playing my 360 on my current 17" one but I can't stand the squished fretboard on RB2 and GH and my 44" widescreen TV is just inferior when it comes to picture quality. I would be happy to at least be able to play those games on 16:9 aspect ratio:P

Thanks in advance!

    someone actually joined my james & the giant peach group lol
  • Wish13 @ Wish13:
    he said this: "James & the Giant Peach is so unrealistic because peaches aren't giant in real life. Roald Dahl really should have done some research before writing this terrible and unrealistic book. Entire generations of kids have probably been ruined because they thought that peaches could be really big."
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Wish13, 1. James and the Giant Peach sucks. 2. Do you even know what the EOF is?
