| | | Most valuable piece of kit
Having just purchased a lovely new 19 inch monitor I am beginning to realise the importance of investing properly in a good model.
This new monitor is good for looking at the web in general, and even watching films, but the quality of images is not a patch on my 15 inch Dell monitor. Some of the kite shots I took at the weekend are lovely on the Dell but god awful on this monitor.
I now realise just how much difference there is in monitor quality and can see how people view images with different opinions. |

I bought Gamer magazine and checked out their recommendations the result was my current
BenQ FP783 (only a 17") my son has a 19" Samsung 930BF superb accurate colours and very
fast refresh rate (as is my BenQ)
Current recommendation for graphics HP LP2065 20" MONITOR £387
Or a 32" LCD TV 32LC2D by LG!
Oh! and Philips do a 20" 200W6CS also vg £264
if only santa were real!

Just as a matter of interest Boddie, are your old and new monitors flatscreen or CRT?

Jeff | They are both flat screen. I dont much rate the new flat screen TV's either. Up close they look poorer than my scabby old Sanyo |

Have you got the latest drivers Andrew? They can make all the difference.
Some also have extra "hidden" factory settings which you can tweak to gain better results ... Certainly worth a quick google.
