Hey, since my HP pavilion monitor decided to stop working, i think its time to invest in a new monitor :]. I'm looking for around 20" decent size, I'm willing to buy on-line on sites like Amazon and ebuyer, but would prefer to stay away from ebay as guarentees are dodgey. I'm looking for a good priced one too
Thanks for reading :P, +REP to any usefull soloutions

Is this one any good, value+performance wize also?

Kevin

like 100£ - 150? But you also gotta remeber, if im buying off ebuyer, the postage is
Delivery to Eire £12.99
7am - 5.30pm Within 2-3 working days
12.99, so thats a fair lump also,

Are the actual specifications of this screen good? also, CIBOX, are they a trusted make?

The screen is very good - great plus that they have speakers built in, although i've only tested them, restof the time it goes through my own speaker system

Cibox isn't a well heard of make , but are very good... i'm Happy with my screen infact end of sept i'm buying a second.
But as you can see on ebuyer its had quite a number of reviews and still has a high star rating

and if you don't mind waiting a within 5 day delivery is free.. what i decided to go with on that purchase and got it within 2 days of ordering anyway!

It's because im in ireland the postage is so high, its not to do with the wait, its a flat rate for ireland i think

Also, does anyone have any voucher codes for Ebuyer, or does anyone know if i ring there hotline, how much roughly will i be charged per minute, because i cant find it on there website

Sadly no vouchers for ebuyer exist! , you can search the net all you want but their coupon code box has nothing to fill it

I'm inclined to suggest the Acer 22" monitor. They're for sale in most Staples shops and aren't too expensive.

The LG has 8 ratings, where the other one has like 55. is the quality really that much better?

Is the price better than all high street retailers? how much would this screen be selling for on the high streets

The high street will sell them for at least £10 more.

:O! I thought they existed in Ireland! You could try ebuyer for it, I got my 19" monitor which is the same sort of model for cheap from ebuyer, so worth a shot :)

EDIT: What monitor did you get?

I got an LG 22" after struggles with payment issues. not on my end, made another thread about that, but off topic on this one.
