Looking for a new monitor 24in and above
Posted: 14 Jan 2010, 18:51
Last time I was looking for a new monitor, way back when widescreen gaming was only starting to gain ground, I got great advice from WSGF. Now, however, my old 20in Viewsonic, though an excellent screen, is starting to feel rather small and restrictive. So it's time to change and to step up the size a few notches, and time to again ask advice from the glorius WSGF. :)
24in at 1920x1200 seems to me like the obvious choice. However I would have an itch for an even bigger monitor in the 26in-28in range. Reading through online reviews has not provided many good alternatives there however, so I turn to you.
My #1 candidate for a 24in screen at this point is the HP LP2475W which, although somewhat an ugly duckling in appearance, seems to have the best bang for the buck atm. The question is, however, whether there is some newer and better 24in screen that would fit my budget of 400-600 euros, or whether there indeed is a suitable 25in or larger alternative that I've missed?
In the 24in category specifically, how does the LP2475W really compare to BenQ FP241W and the NEC LCD2490WUXi? I've only read praising reviews of all, so it's hard to figure which one is the better of the lot, or the best value for money.
The chief purpose of the monitor is to display HD movies and games, so high input-lag and low response time monitors are out of the question.
Thanks a bunch in advance!
