I just bought one. Just hit ebuyer and find the cheapest ones. Ignore the £300 stuff because £200 is largely identical unless you're the type to notice bad Contrast Ratios or a few dead pixels. Myself, I don't notice them so I don't mind saving a hundred quid.

is £185 inc. VAT with a fairly good CR/brightness and 160 degrees is a very nice viewing angle.

If your card supports it, though, it's worth shelling out an extra £30 or so for DVI. Check your graphics card, if it has a kind of thin rectangular white socket with a grid of square holes, it's DVI. Usually video signals go from digital to analog to digital again. With DVI it's straight digital-digital. In addition to being tons clearer, the monitor gets configured automatically with optimal colour balance, brightness and contrast.

is the cheapest DVI at £212 incl. VAT. A fairly lame 140 degree viewing angle on that one. Annoying if you're having a bunch of friends to watch movies or something but still satisfactory. It's now out of stock though, since I bought the last one :ph34r: just now :)
 
Cheers i'll have a look into it.
Ebuyer have served me well in the past with speakers etc.

Is it so hard for you to click the links and read up on it yourself? Nobody can make the purchase for you, only you know what you want in a monitor. For instance, I've told you exactly what DVI does. It's up to you whether it's worth the extra cash; for me it was.
