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!

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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
