    Hi Guys,

    Hope I'm posting this is the right place.

    I know sweet feck all about monitors and I want to get a 19" flat panel fairly cheap. Needs to be bright enough and do 1280x1024 at the bare minimum.

    http://komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=314421

    Are any of these any good or does anyone have any suggestions?

    I've a budget of around 250 which could be stretched a little

    cheers

    Mark :)

    I thought Dell LCDs, or at least the 24" widescreen is manufactured by LG-Phillips, as it shares its panel with the 24" Apple, just each uses different backlights
