Spec me a new monitor :)

[BigIan88]

So im looking to buy a new monitor next week as an upgrade from my LG E2240S 22" LED Monitor.

The monitor I have is a fantastic all rounder and ive never had any problems with it, however I would like something a little larger and preferably with a higher res if possible but must be LED (backlit).

Ive been browsing the Aria pages and came across these 3 monitors which caught my eye but id like other peoples opinions on which to buy.

1) 23" LG IPS231P-BN



1920x1080 Resolution, 5,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 250cd/m² Brightness, 5ms Response Time, 1x DVI-D Input, 1x VGA Input, 3 Years Warranty - £159.95

Better panel and colours thanks to IPS but not much in terms of a size upgrade.



2) 24" Iiyama Prolite E2473HDS Widescreen LED Monitor

1920x1080 Resolution, 5000000:1 Contrast Ratio, 300cd/m² Brightness, 2ms Response Time, 2x HDMI Input, 1x DVI-D Input, 1x VGA Input, 3 Years Warranty - £169.99

A good all round upgrade IMO, slightly larger and Iiyama are renound for making good monitors



3) 27" Fujitsu SL27T-1 Widescreen LED Monitor

1920x1080 Resolution, 5000000:1 Contrast Ratio, 250cd/m² Brightness, 5ms Response Time, 2x HDMI, 1x VGA Input, 2 Years Warranty - £239.99

Big size upgrade and similar performance specs to my current monitor

Which would you choose with a max budget of around £200 +/- £25, would you pick one of the above or something different all together?

Depends what you want at the end of the day. Your looking for a good monitor and don't mind using a 24" then get the Iiyama, my girlfriend has 1 of them and the picture is fantastic, but if your looking for a larger monitor then go for the 27" one.

i am biased here - but get the iiyama

(better response = less ghosting)

Biased how?

Have you narrowed it down to three or are you considering others?

Otherwise I would choose the IIyama, its good all round, response time low, and brightness high.

Is panel type a big priority for you? (i.e. IPS>VA>TN)

Biased how?

cos i have two iiyama E2472HD (LED) monitors

i did A-LOT of researching before i bought them

i concluded that they were the best

(by price/performance/looks)

iiyama because it has a 2ms response and a higher brightness.
