Heya there everyone, I'm finally replacing my old 1280x1024 monitor which I've lately been using as a second display.
My budget was initially 150 euro, but it seems like I will probably have to up it to 200. Going over that would only be if highly justified. Will be buying in Europe, likely Portugal or Amazon UK. I'm probably looking for a standard 16:9 LED-backlit LCD monitor, although I could stand corrected.
I don't know much about monitors, been reading the last few days, but other than that. What I do know is that I'm looking for:
- Value above all. Money is tight at the moment ;
- Ideally 24'', 22 and 27 are also good options if slightly better value;
- Casual use, no heavy editing, no heavy gaming;
- 5-12ms response time. People can get super picky with this but realistically spending money on 2ms over 5ms or on 5ms over 8-12 makes no sense to me. Just too little a gap for me to even ever notice it;
- Good colors (good is used relatively ). I'm a huge multimedia fan, so even though I'm not putting big bucks into this (sadly), color quality, accuracy and whatnot is still one of the most important parts for me;
Design and versatility are somewhat important. A good looking monitor can put quite a smile on my face, and any added functional, physical versatility has its value. However, they're just bonuses, nothing mandatory.
Hoping anyone can give me a hand!
I'm currently looking at these 4:
22'' - 135 euro (Portugal) - Asus VE228H

24'' - 165 euro (Portugal) - Asus VH242H

24'' - 150 euro (120 pounds in Amazon UK, free delivery) - Samsung S24B300HL. Somewhat worried how issues would be handled in terms of warranty service

27'' - 190 euro (Portugal) - BenQ GL2750-B. This is a great price but it scares me. I'm pretty sure it's super old, I think it uses CCFL lighting and is overall not worth it, but I might be around. Best link I could even get was this:

I'd love suggestions as much as input on those models listed. Thank you so much!
