Hi,

I need to get a computer monitor for working at home so might as well try to get a decent one for photo editing too.

Max budget would be €300, ideally a lot cheaper but willing to stretch as it'd last for years. I'm happy to buy 2nd hand.

I'd like something that's accurate for colour rendition. I know that it's recommended to calibrate the monitor as well.

This Acer S240hlbid 24-inch Monitor 2nd for €100 looks impressive.

Cheers,
Pa.

I have the 27" version, and its great for PS. Still needed calibrating straight out of the box though, but then all monitors will.

I have that monitor, can't fault it for the money, strongly suggest two for editing, particularly if using Lightroom, or for following tutorials etc.
