So you want 1920x1200 am I right ?

And what are you gonna use the monitors for ?

yup 1920x1200

monitors are being used in recording studio. they need to be a decent resolution as the software interface is pretty big and doesnt scale down.

EDIT: just spoke to someone about this and 1080 vertical would suffice.

Grand, cause cheap 1980x1200's are few and far between.

A pair of those would probably be your best bet, the BenQ stuff gets very nice reviews usually, plus this model comes with both DVI and VGA

that looks like exactly what i need.

how do these stack up to the ACER models with similiar specs?

thanks for your help

The only Acer I can see around the same price as the BenQ is nearly €15 MORE expensive, yet comes with only a VGA input ! Other than that they seem very similar indeed in terms of specs so id still go with the BenQ

It's a good monitor. One of my only gripes is that the stand is a little flimsy. This means that any movement, say, of the table it is resting on, will see the monitor wobble quite a bit. Still, noting to worry about. I'm just being picky!

DamagedTrax

no worries there. this is what they'll be sitting on. theres no chance of movement from it!



unfortunatly the lovely mac screens are only on lend till i get new ones sorted
