Best 24" Monitor for €250ish??

captainbirdseye

I'm looking for a 24" or slightly smaller monitor that ticks all these boxes

HDMI
1920x1200 (preferably)
or
1920x1080
Headphone output
Height Adjustable
Pivots 90° (Screen stands on it's side)

Nothing else matters..

Any eye deers?

So far i'm looking at

Iiyama 2409HDS
Samsung SM2494HM
LG W2442PA

Does anyone know of any others or have any views on the above?

I would strongly recommend this monitor, its LG (my favourite brand) 24" LED TFT:

Hmmm. Is it height adjustable?

Just found an amazing site for comparing LCD's and seriously in-depth reviews

Been looking into a new monitor as well and its seems April is when alot of the newer models are coming out so maybe hold on till then. I'm just waiting to see how the new 120mhz gaming monitors price out.

Dell 22" for €257, has the stand you are talking about.

You want a 24" with this nice type of stand you are paying at least €450 on ebay (like my mate did)

or €525 on komplett

Dell charge over €600 for the same 24" last I checked...:eek:

You want the nice pivot stand on a 24" you are spending more than €250....

That Dell 22" doesn't have the required resolution of at least 1920x1080
I'm happy to go with a TN panel rather than the more expensive SIPS. Both the Ilyama and LG models I posted are 24" and can pivot and adjust height and are around €240.
Can't find any reviews of the LG. The Samsung is €300 so....
it looks like I'll be going for the Iiyama.

Trust komplett to sell out as soon as I make a decision.

I am hoping they have stock of the Samsung 2450 next week because I plan on purchasing one next week. I had a Samsung SM2433BW and it died on me two months ago. I am now using a 20" Samsung 206BW which aint bad but wouldnt touch the picture quality of the 2433BW. The only problem I had with the 2433BW was if it didnt like a certain resolution it would throw a tantrum and go on standby.

I hope the 2450 isnt the same because I need a good 24" monitor that has good picture quality. I would prefer picture quality over the looks of the monitor itself. The only reason I am going for a 2450 is because of its price and I am unemployed so its affordable for me.

PLEASE. For the love of God. Don't post any more monitors that don't meet the criteria mentioned in the first post.

Sorry.
