Bargain LCD monitors...

[Spacemonkey]

Just got one of these:

BenQ 17" LCD with DVI input

for £152 with the DVI cable. Went into the store , but it is simply an over the counter affair like Argos, so no point doing that. Great display, especially through the DVI (you can have the regular VGA lead (supplied) as well if you wish). Would recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap decent TFT monitor upgrade. DVD's play fine and my online game I play is so much more vivid and detailed. The only limitation now is my graphic card. A bargain!!

Kane, I play Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, or mostly it's derivative-TCE-True Combat Elite. It's a modern day Special Ops Vs Terrorists. Aiming is with proper sights not crosshairs etc. Very good and 100% free see here for info and downloads:

Beachlover, yes cheaper is available, but normally with slower refresh rates or without the DVI socket for better digital picture (graphic card permitting) which I wanted. DVI's generally don't come cheaper at the mo'!!


Edit:
Just checked that link, and that's a nice fast refresh rate of 8ms, but no DVI. Great monitor if DVI doesn't matter a hoot to you.

Sorry to break the news chaps, but Aria.co.uk (no affiliation) general stock the cheapest LCD/TFT monitors. I've bought 5 monitors from them over the last 2 years and they've all been excellent!!!

Par example - 19" Digimate L-1925 TFT with DVI - £170 inc VAT.

Yes, but I couldn't be had with the expense of a 19", and they don't do their Digimate in 17" with DVI. So there... and they is butt ugly compared with the BennyQ...

Ah! But mine has DVI....and his has ickle speakers, and DVI... er...

I was going to get one of those meself, but as I'm splashing out on a gineormous TV next year that doubles as a monitor, I thought I'd go the budget route on the monny for now. !7" is enough for me now. It's not the size etc etc
