Default So I want a 24" monitor.

So guys I'm thinking of buying a 24" monitor but I just don't know what I want to go with!

Things I'm looking for as in quality

1) GOOD VERTICAL ANGLES...The most important to me, I want something that has good color and contrast from any angle.

2) A reasonable price ($600 and below)

3) Good crisp colors

got this acer here
done me good, though its not adjustable so it might have some problems for you.....

Has done me good, might do you good. Though you need to have some epic video card to play with a 24in, lol :O
colours are amazing, especially when compared to about 15 other screens at the shop. Even though others were 2000:1, etc:1, etc, they didn't show nearly as much colour as this one, the bright colours stand out the best. Anyways,

Well guys I've decided which one I want to buy, and its the Asus mk241h.

Linky : MK241H 24"

Looks like a good buy to me, been wanting a webcam and I need a decent microphone so I'm knocking out 3 things I need with one purchase .

Monitor has great reveiws and 2ms response 3000:1 ratio, seems like a great purchase.

Thanks for your suggestions guys they were taken into deep consideration.

well these all have TN panels and you are never going ot get great viewing angles.

If you want to invest slighly more you could get a S-PVA pannel which has better colours and viewing angle

Try the Benq FP241W, i have yet to see a bad review for it.

Be honest that Asus looks nice without paying the price for a Dell or Samsung 245T. Thats Benq looks half decent also, Pwnography do you have any experience with that Benq.

Ordered the Asus monitor, I checked out the Benq but it was pricey and I've never heard of the brand so I didn't wanna risk it(not that it's a bad brand or anything) but I'm hoping to see my monitor come in the UPS truck at the shop tomorrow I'll post some pics of it and let you guys see how it looks.

Peace
