    Same old - monitor hunt

    Hey,

    My eyes feel fine but i'm finding it hard to concentrate when reading etc (peripheral vision? Everything around the line i'm on jives around) so I need a TFT

    What can I get for £300? I was hoping for 19" and a DVI connection (my girl has a 15" TFT that I can use as a secondary in the VGA... hole )

    Thanks everyone

    £324.96 inc VAT
    Hmmmmm, 300 really is my limit, definately less if possible...

    This is a rush decision and couldn't come at a worse time, financially (flat hunting etc. bit skint)

    Let me know how you get on with it though It's a nice looking monitor

    You've got delivery to add to that too... so it'll be atleast an extra tenner on top...

    Search ebuyer, the reviews are generally useful...

    Yeh, I noticed that, no DVI though

    I might just buy it and hunt for a DVI-D to VGA adapter for the other one...

    Better have one if you plan on running the latest windows. I hear it wont display very crisp on older screens. I for one love my Dell flatscreen

    Then you've never used a decent TFT!

    I love my TFT, how much was yours Carly?
