T220? LG W2243S? BenQ G2220HDA? Samsung Syncmaster SM2243NW? ASUS VH222D? Viewsonic VX2260WM?

Quite like the look of the Samsung T220 which i can get for £128 delivered. Might just go for that.

Nout wrong with that, i just don't like the red tint on the outside.

I agree, I dislike Samsung's whole new "Red tint" monitors. I also dislike the shape, the way it kind of...sags at the bottom, I like them nice and rectangular

+1 on both those points you raise killgroup

Tho for use as a tv those features are more tolerable

T220 all the way, but mind the stand is a bit wobbly.

Another one for T220 here, recommendation comes from personal use. Very nice for the price.

Hold up a second, your mum plays games!? :eek:

Oh and the T220 is a very nice monitor, got one myself.

Ive seen the Hannspree 23" around for about £120 all in?

I ordered her the T220 should be here tomorrow, then my work begins as she wants me to do a full install with Windows 7
