    Note that it is 1920 x 1200. High res and good vertical space.
    But almost twice the price of this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-S24A.../dp/B0060KBY86

    For that price I could get two of the 1920x1080 ones and put them side by side.

      Got a cheapie Samsung 26" TV for my desktop and the picture quality was decent, I'm sure it's similar to yours

      It's better for gaming than my mates dedicated computer monitors, and as I'm sat right next to it buying another big screen would pointless

      For smaller screens like that you don't have to spend much if you shop around

        Yeah, got three Dell Ultra 24" and one 22" on a Nvidia Quadro - doubles as a tanning salon.

        Have a 30" Dell Ultrasharp for games.

            Had my 24" screen for 5 years, is a Dell WFP2407 I think, very happy and still running fine. Now my second PC, my main PC has 2 x Dell 27" screens on it.

              I've got 3 Samsung 24"s - good monitors for the price.

                If you're going to buy one then ensure it's got HDMI inputs.

                  This should come as no surprise.

                  Do they sell LCD screens that don't double as mirrors now?

                  Having spent much of the 80s getting shot of monitors with crts like that, it seems like a very dubious selling point for LCDs.
                  there aren't that many desktop LCD monitors with that problem, at least I haven't seen many.

                  laptops on the other hand....
