    Just about to buy this for 186 euro delivered and want to make sure I'm getting a decent deal for the money. Seems to have great reviews and I cant find it cheaper elsewhere. Thoughts ?

    Also, whats the difference between these two ? Top one is better right?

    Seems like the BL model is LED backlit. The other one would have regular CCFL tubes. So the main differences are lower power consumption, higher max brightness and a white that is probably closer to true white.

    Good stuff. Just noticed the despatch date is 1-2 months, even though it says in stock. Feck. Any other website I can find it on is a good bit pricier.

    The ports might be different too so make sure the model you go for has whatever you are looking for (HDMI etc)

    this one got a great review in PC Format this month especially as its not a crappy TN panel and its a great price - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-044-BQ

    Ignoring idiots who comment "far right" because they don't even know what it means

    That site has the one in my OP cheaper than amazon, so cheers for that! Although they probably charge postage. Is it worth upgrading to the one you posted ? 30 quid extra..

    well heres a comparison of the panel types - http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php
    That screen has 8ms response time and the reviews i have read said theres no input lag. Ive TN panels at home and an IPS at work and my work screen makes my TN panels look like total crap, VA Panel isint as good as a TN panel but i would never buy a TN panel again now that i can see the difference.

    Hmm - maybe it is worth it so. Although the one I linked to has won numerous awards and has excellent reviews so I'm assuming its one of the better TN panels.
