Ive Read and read and read. Forums, post, reviews, anything and quite frankly im confused. :confused: :confused: And i though what better forum than [H] can help? Ive been watching this forum for a long time but only joined recently. All i can say is that [H] is really one of the best forums i have seen.



What is the best display i can get with around max of $400?

I was personally looking at the hp w 2207 but are widescreen monitors good for gaming? I saw that forum widescreen gaming but with the hacks and stuff will a non widescreen display be better?


So can someone point out the best use of $400 to invest in a monitor. I will be using it for ev erything : movies, gaming and just ordianry office and webdesign stuff.

Thanks :):D
 
Can you be talked into investing another $300 into a monitor? I know a lot of monitors have had problems with scaling, and I don't have any personal experience with a good 22" model. However, the LG 245/246WP and Benq 24" displays are really great. I have the LG 245WP and I absolutely love it. I would invest the most you can into the monitor since it'll be what stays with you through multiple hardware upgrades (hopefully).
 
Erm, its a bit hard. I live in Malta (thats in europe - med sea) and some monitors are really hard to find. Example: hp only stock up to 20" monitors. I asked for a price check on the ho w2207 and they said they are on order etc etc. Now even for just a simple price check i have to wait like a week. Another $300 would mean Lm100 (maltese liri) and i am a bit short of money atm.

In a few weeks ill be building a pc :)
 
This Week Bestbuy has the 24 inch LG on sale for 650 dollars
i bought this last thursday for 699 its a awesome monitor I belive its the best 24inch lcd out there it has every input you would need HDMI comes wiht a HDMI to DVI cable
and a VGA cable has 2 USB ports
The screen is a S-IPS display with 178 viewing angle
colors and blacks are awesome
 
LG 245WP that one? Hmm ill have to check about this. If i cant find it. Will the hp w2207 be good?


If there isnt a huge price difference in Malta (here everything is expensive) i may get the lg.

But will 24" be good for gaming? Or should i stick with a 22" and get the hp?

Thanks :)
 
I saw the HP 2207 in its native resolution at BestBuy and it seemed crisp beautiful. However, all colors on the screen were super bright, so I couldn't tell if there was any blacklight bleeding.

The HP2207 is one of the highest priced 22" LCD on the market and it only has a one year warranty??? Pphttt! I don't purchase items from manufacturers who won't stand behind their product. Spend a few extra bucks and get the LG 24 or less expensive LG 22.
 
Well the thing is ive searched google and guess what?

I couldnt find the lg store in malta :S


This sucks :( i should get a holiday in usa and buy tonnes of pc stuff :D

Problem is im still 16 and cant afford it :p
