Re: TFT Monitor Recomendations?

i believe advent is PC Worlds home brand. but in the same light, Technosonic would do as previously mentioned. buy up old stock of panels and components usually 2 or more years old and rebrand.

Re: TFT Monitor Recomendations?

IMHO, looking for a DVI connection is a good idea. If it's DVI-I it'll also support VGA with the right adapter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

Consider getting a display that'll rotate into portrait mode. I find this very useful.

Some also have video input too that might be handy if you have a games machine or an STB you might want to connect.

Aria always used to be a good place to look for monitors:

perhaps not everyone is a res junky and perhaps not everyone wants to pay the 22" to 24" gap price hike for anything descent. 22" is plenty for everyday use.

Re: TFT Monitor Recomendations?

It arrived this morning at about 9:45! I've took some photos of it, but will have to wait for me to edit them down for the forum.

It looks fantastic, I can't get over how wide this thing is! I'm very happy with it up to now.
