My Buttons are Magic! Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 right - my uncle has given me an old computer of his ( not that old - has windows xp on it) but the monitor is this ancient huge thing which wont fit on my uni desk ( if i get there) so from you wonderful wise people what would be the best monitor type to get? ( and as i am a student - be easy on the prices - tho i would like decent one) oh and im also in the market for a new keyboard and mouse =) EDIT : the hardrive is a dell if that matters!

Colin Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Monitor Lack of DVI makes it lol worthy in my eyes. I'd say if you're buying a new monitor you may as well have one with it. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hanns-HW191D-LCD-Silver-Black/dp/B000GYHS6Y/ref=sr_1_1/202-0057575-3483829?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1184895780&sr=1-1 Cheaper, plus DVI, and has a lot of recommendations at overclockers.

Marshmellow Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I personally think Dell's monitors are some of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 You won't get a cheap TFT monitor from a 'real' shop. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-AL1917WAS-5ms-Widescreen-Silver/dp/B000JW97N0/ref=sr_1_1/202-9116086-2601423?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1184927689&sr=1-1 That one is widescreen and still only £100. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acer-AL2016ws-20-1-Monitor-1680x1050/dp/B000DZ83DI/ref=sr_1_3/202-9116086-2601423?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1184927689&sr=1-3 That's £120, but a lot bigger and better.

I bought that monitor about a year ago (not the widescreen version) and i have found no faults and would also recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 lol, same, I always think someone going to come up to me and keep bugging me. Scares the hell out of me. What... I love it when they come up to me. Because half the time you know more than what they know so you embarrass them. Yeah... I'm nasty as shit I know.
