    Hi all,

    I'm looking for a new monitor for my pc as I'm currently using a 19" TV that is only 1080i so looking for full HD. I've been looking around and I have found a few for around €130 but I'm not sure if they are any good. I'm looking to get a 22" monitor that is either DVI or HDMI and 1920 x 1080. Does anyone know if any of the following are good, or does anyone have a recommendation for one around this price?

    SAMSUNG SYNCMASTER 2223NW €129

    DGM L-2262WD DVI 22" €119

    HANNSG 22" HI221D €130

    LG Electronics 22" W2243T €135

    Cheers!

    No you are right, I was in a bit of a rush and didn't check the links properly. Here are the two that I am down to now anyway. I don't see much between them but I don't really have any experience with buying monitors so does anyone see any major problems with either of them? Or even better, is one clearly better than the other? Manufacturers both seem ok, but is one better than the other with regards dead pixel policy?

    LG Electronics 22" W2243T €133

    ACER P225HQBD 22" €139

    Cheers!

    Cheers that looks good alright and I've seen good reviews about it. The thing is that I have heard horror stories about using ebuyer. I eventually managed to register on ebuyer and the final price is coming to €137, including delivery.

    I also found the same monitor on elara.ie today for €148 including delivery. I'm just trying to figure out now which is the better company to get this from, especially if something were to go wrong would it be easier to deal with elara than ebuyer?

    Anyone have any suggestions?
    Cheers!

    hi,

    for 11euro in the difference - get it from elara - or pick it up.

    I did not know any stories about ebuyer - have had no probs at all.
    had 1 stick of dodgy memory which I sent back and they gave me a refund.

    if that monitor suits - get it from elara - just be careful about "in stock" items.
    ring them to make sure first.

    k
