It's an IPS panel so it will probably look better than a lot of the monitors you have been looking at. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-VS229H-Widescreen-Monitor-Headphone/dp/B005HIRFYO/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_t_4

E EddieSG Honorable Jun 18, 2012 35 0 10,530 Aug 21, 2012 #3 Thanks for that. I don't think it has built in speakers which I've just thought of- are there any good alternatives with built in speakers?

E EddieSG Honorable Jun 18, 2012 35 0 10,530 Aug 21, 2012 #5 Thanks, but is a 14ms response time a worry? I don't know much about monitors but other monitors in the price range offer around 5ms.

Edit: But when you look on the global site... it says 14... idk... It looks like the UK version is different? http://www.asus.com/Display/LCD_Monitors/VS229H/#specifications However, whenever it says 5ms it specifically says gtg. I wonder if the 14ms is the full response time?
