    Hi, I'm looking for a good monitor for around 300-400eur.
    I don't want anything too big 21-24inch should be enough.
    I want something with HD. Good for playing PS3 games on and watching HD bluray movies. Something with a good clear picture, fast response time for the games and movies and good contrast.

    Thanks.

    I'd say you could half you budget and get a fairly good quality LG or Samsung Synchmaster. Prices would be in the ballbark of about 140 for a 21" up to about 240 Euro or so for a 24", slight price variations depending on the number of HDMI ports etc.

    I have this 22" LG myself very happy with the quality for gaming and movies, only one HDMI input so you may be looking for more than that, fine for me presonally as I use the DVI for my PC so the HDMI is spare for the Xbox.

    No definately not just for the computer monitor. I do know that in the UK, if your PC had a TV card then you would have to buy a TV license, however I am not sure if this is the case in ireland at the moment, my suspicion would be that it is.
