The daily flier from CPC has a Samsung 24" LED backlight 1920 x 1080 monitor for 120 quid inc.
I'm using a similar Viewsonic here which is superb, but cost a deal more. Wonder if it would be a good buy for my other (not much used) computer which still has a 4:3 - and it would be nice to have the same size there.
seems pretty high even fir a 24".
Look at amazon. Better prices esp, on pre-owned refurbed.
If you go to 22" prices are even keener.
I'd like a flat screen 4 x 3, much better for letters and viewing most websites. Haven't seen any on offer though.
Most people I know who have you tried a decent size full HD 16:9 with two pages side by side wouldn't go back to 4:3.
A 1920 x 1200 or 2048 x 1152 add a bit more flexibility while waiting for 4K screens to come down a bit :)
You can have the old 19" Iiyama, then. Widescreen is super for circuit diagrams. ;-)
Probably depends on your standards.
Right - secondhand tat?
14" are keener still.
I have supplied lots of Hanns G 23.6" monitors recently (LED TFT (HE247DPB), 5ms, VGA, DVI, with Speakers) and not had any complaints. They work out about £110 inc VAT and are very good IME. Especially if you feed them via the DVI.
They are probably a little crisper than the Sammy I have here (although having a KVM switcher in the chain does not help). Only 16:9 HD though rather than 16:10 1920 x 1200 that the samsung can do.

?99.99 from ebuyer today, AND they're bigger, at 24" :) Hmm, I'm quite tempted...
As long as you don't read the small print... still what's 0.4" between friends.
They are quite decent.
There are very few 1920x1200 screens around nowadays, they tend to be
1920x1080.16:10 is getting rare now, so £120 is a bargain, especially if it is an IPS panel ??
My Hazro 24 inch IPS cost me £448 in 2008 but the picture is brilliant, especially now it is effectivally a TV plugged into a Humax HD FOX T2 stb, which seems to upscale to 16:10 very nicely.
I'm waiting for the Dell 4K 32 inch monitor to come down to a sensible price.
Decided to get the CPC offer - and it arrived first thing this morning. Bit of a surprise. ;-)
Seems to do what it says on the box - only complaint being there is no tilt adjustment. And like all LCDs needs to be viewed at the correct angle.
Depends. IPS panels mostly have a wider viewing angle than others. I can walk around this room without seeing bad colour shifts and brightness wobbles - well, up to a point where I crash into the walls ;-)
I'd say it's not so important with a monitor as a TV as only one person tends to view a monitor and from a fixed position?

Dell have just launched a 5k 5120x2880 27" monitor, though you will need a seriously f'off graphics card to shuffle all those pixels about.
I'm very happy with my Dell U2711, 2560x1440, 27", £370 off ebay a year ago. More inputs than you can shake a stick at.
Wonder how big you can go to with a monitor designed to be fairly close to the eyes? Unless you are using it for two separate displays side by side.

I did wonder the same, but use it at the recommended distance - arm's length plus extended finger from your normal seated position - and it's fine. I worried it would dominate my desk but it's not that much bigger than the 24" one I previously had. Dell do a soundbar (speakers) which clips to the underside of the front lip and takes its power from the monitor, so that saves on the desk real estate previously occupied by standalone speakers plus a power socket.
Some fonts are small, but that's easily fixed by changing settings or using ctrl-alt-numeric+ in a browser to increase font size (works in many other apps too.)
It's nice being able to edit two A4 documents side by side in Word with the complete page showing on screen. I also use it to stream iPlayer and movies from my NAS.
The way the menu buttons light up when you wave your hand near them is cool too :-)
I have never found more than one to be necessary to produce a picture
But very useful to connect multiple computers (e.g. I have a Raspberry Pi on the floor beside my desktop machine), you can just change input on the monitor and away you go. Saves grovelling around in the mess of wires round the back every time.
Most of the time I ssh into the Pi but ocasionally one needs the GUI.
