    Worth an extra £20 for HDMI over VGA?

    Unless you need to play sound through your screen then HDMI is not necessary. I think the question really is do you want the extra 1.5inch of physical screen size? The resolution on these monitors are the same (1920x1080) and therefore the smaller screen will give you a higher DPI resulting in...
