GF need a big one...

[thespeakerbox]

lol

anyways, the GF needs a new monitor. She uses a 17" right now and I want to get her a 22 or 24. What would you guys recommend under 350?

She plays the sims2 and will play the sims3
does graphic design
alot of magazine writing in Word

EDIT:

I recommended she get 2 - 22"s so that she could multi task a little more efficiently. It's gonna be a big help for school she says. However, shes concerned about web design. She likes using her current 17" to check a good resolution fit (for design work im guessing).

Which setup would you recommend

Two 22" s
One- 24" & One- 17"

Hehe we're all thinking on the same line......Well if she does graphic design then I don't think a TN panel will cut it and for 350 well that's pushing it a bit...can't help you there bud but I'm sure someone on here can!!

Definitely V2400W - my gf loves it. She never paid attention to any of my hardwares except this monitor. check this micro site out: http://www.benq.us/V2400W_DEMO/index.html
It is slightly more expensive than your budget $399 and free shipping on BenQ's website.

How does the V2400w compare to the G24000WD?

both use the same pannel. V2400w just looks more stylish.

You wont give her yours? Isnt it big enough?

And then use that as an excuse to buy an even bigger one for yourself?

You get new monitors by giving old one's to his girlfriend?

DO TELL!!!!!!!!!! Just kidding

To the OP/Thespeakerbox:

The new HP LP2275W might be good, as is the Lenovo L220X, but the L220X is higher resolution and can be a bit small for some people in regards to text.

The V2400W might be good, but for graphic design might be a stretch. Alternatively she likely will really like the design/look of it.
