- Philips 150S4FB
- Philips 150S5FB
- HP L1502
- Samsung SyncMaster 151S
- Samsung SyncMaster 152S

Thanks.

260876 2004-08-12 10:27:00 Philips all the way - quality monitors with a good warranty provided you are within 25km of a Next Electronics - not the cheapest but like anything electronic YGWYPF andrew93 (249)

260878 2004-08-12 11:07:00 Just for general work, and for sometimes to watch a movie.

I occasionally play games, but not very often.

260879 2004-08-12 11:47:00 I have a Samsung Syncmaster 151s. 1024x768 pixels

It's Ok. A very big improvement over CRT monitors in all respects as far as I am concerned.

I've used it for about 20 months. No problems.

However I've also been using a higher resolution LCD on a laptop - thats about 1600x1200 pixels (don't have the exact figures at hand right now). Makes for a big difference and makes the 1024x768 of the Samsung look pretty antiquated.

If I change, I'd go for at least a 17" LCD. 15" is best on cost grounds but if your budget isn't toooo limited the difference would be weel worth it. There's plenty of reviews on the internet. My current thoughts are that Auriga, Viewsonic, Phillips or Samsung would all be pretty good.
