Monitor Help

I'm planning on buying two monitors to have a dual setup with my macbook (until I get around to building my gaming pc).

I'm thinking of getting two of these http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computi...01709-pdt.html

I don't want to spend over £130 per monitor, and they need to be wall mountable. Do you think the one i've linked looks decent? If not could you link me to some better suggestions please.

Apparently this one is quite good http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...rd_i=428652031

Presume your doing this through HDMI? I am a bit confused?

Which Macbook do you have?

The Highest End 13inch Retina one (from the current cycle)

Any specific requirements aside from being wall mountable? ie. size/resolution/type of connection?

Generally speaking, you can get a 24" acer for <100£ ( http://www.ebuyer.com/612426-acer-k2...r-um-fw3ee-001 ). Alternatively for 10£ over you budget you can go all in for 27" http://www.ebuyer.com/612427-acer-k2...r-um-hw3ee-001

Only downside is neither of the above support HTMI, although you can always pick up a DVI/HDMI adapter for a few quid (assuming you don't want to send audio over the cable).

Looks pretty decent, although it has a 5ms response time which is a tad high.

Whilst it looks nice it doesn't have built in speakers which always come in handy. The response time is 7ms which is over 3 times that of the one from my second post.

Thanks for looking everyone, but i've ordered two monitors already (the ASUS VE247H from my second post). I'll post pictures once they're delivered and setup.

Nick i've just received two of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002Q0ZCNC/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_dp_1

It's a much easier way of connecting the monitors to my macbook. You just plug them into the thunderbolt ports on the left hand side and they attach directly to the dvi cables from the monitors. I did consider buying the official apple ones but they're £25 each whereas the third party ones are £5 each, I couldn't really justify paying an extra £40 for essentially the exact same thing. They've already arrived too (bought them yesterday) and they seem quite sturdy.
