new monitor much required

The_Don90

Hi guys,

in my need of a new monitor with a budget of around £100. Current monitor has a very small resolution (1024/768) which isnt ideal for poker, and the old one i had, did have a better resolution but the screen is too dark.

As a result, im looking for something with a decent res and decent colour quality.

Best i have found is propably this one, http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/samsung-s20a300n-20-led-backlit-monitor-10452245-pdt.html One slightly better for extra tenner over my set budget being http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/aoc-e2243fw-21-5-led-monitor-07677491-pdt.html would it be worth going for the latter or can i get better for cheaper? Being honest i have no clue where to look for these things.

Definitely don't get the first one for it's low resolution. 

Your second option is decent, beaneh's suggestion is a better monitor.

Just make sure it's 21.5" or above and 1920 x 1080 resolution from a brand you have heard of.

On advice from where i posted elsewhere i got linked to this, looks pretty good deal, LG 21.5 inch so smaller than the beaneh one but matching res and over £30 cheaper. Looks like the one ill go for.

thanks for the offer paige, being honest ive always had second hand monitors, and the two i have 1 has lasted 4 years and basically going and the other one i got just after christmas when a family member got a full new system and it just doesnt meet the requirements i need.

At the present i have a little money saved and feel buying a brand new monitor to last a while is the route to go down at present.

I got a 23" LG widescreen about a year ago for just over £100 on ebuyer.com

The only negative I see with this monitor it that the only input it has is a VGA connector.

This is a old connector type, although still supported and useable on all laptops and PC's.

You're just limiting yourself by getting one without a DVI (or HDMI) input.

It's never straightforward is it? lol

If you don't mind the funky design this is a decent monitor

or this is a more traditional design.

I need a new monitor. So my question is : How many tables on mini view would you be able to play with a 24" monitor ??

Thanks in advance.

It's not the size that matters it's the resolution see HERE
