Hi All,
My normal computer monitor has died, however this gives me the perfect excuse to buy one of those flat FTF monitors. At work I use one and the quality is bad, picture is not very sharp and it has a shadow effect when you move or close things. The work one is over a year old and when I look in Dixon’s at new ones they do look a lot better, however I use my PC for games so I need one that will do the job without any problems. Can anyone recommend one or tell me what to look out for when buying one as there is usually lots of technical info like pixel size and things like that but I do not know when they mean exactly.

Thanks

The AOC range of monitors provides excellent quality as well as cost effectiveness, ive had my 17" AOC flat screen for months now and I dont have a single bad word to say about it... Special reserve stock the 17" version...go for it...

Is it as good as a standard monitor?

Oh yes easily, Ive not noticed any of the "blurring" that people associate with TFT monitors the response time is quick and if you turn on "clear type fonts" in windows appearance settings - everything looks fantastic as its a format designed for TFT monitors.

I also play games on it, fast moving images do not upset this baby
