Sub-£100 1920x1080 monitors?

Smetzle · 10-01-2009, 10:23 AM

I'm looking to buy three identical 1920x1080 monitors for a triple-screen setup. I've seen various monitors with prices around £90-£120, which seemed incredibly cheap for that resolution (although I haven't looked for a monitor in a while, so maybe prices have dropped). My question is, are these monitors worth buying in terms of image quality, response times etc. or would I need to spend more money to get 1920x1080 resolution with a decent picture?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, welcome to TSF

Please post the links to the monitors you're thinking of buying.

You can get a Viewsonic 22" widescreen LCD monitor for about £110. It has a native resolution of 1920x1080, good contrast ratio and a response time of 5ms, which is low enough to prevent screen-tearing in games.

What graphics card are you using?
