Any recommendations on monitors? (preferably Maplin/Argos/ Other high street stores rather than online order :P, preferably under 150 pound a piece and 22" or 24" idc about rest)
Monitors. Why do you need 2 though?
Two's better than 1
To dualscreen :8Quote:

2 Monitors isn't great, I tried it. The gap between them gets in your way and hurts your eyes when you look at it for hours, moving your eyes a lot.
Staples sell monitors for a reasonably good price. You can go on their website to find the prices, but I recommend the Acer ones, the 22" monitors are under £190 I believe...Quote:

Not really, a small bit of plastic if you get the right monitors.
I've used dual screen before theres no problem with a small bit of plastic in the middle, as for acer nty ryan :P
:O! Why not? Acer monitors are really good for their price!Quote:

Errr i guess i just saved a bunch as i read the magazine and it was £129 for that monitor, but think this monitor is ok?
I'm considering getting two of them (£201.05 from discount + postage)
Gud deal? :P
Good Luck
Check your graphics card will support it before buying. I beleive you need a 1680x1050 resolution.
One bad thing about that monitor is that is uses a VGA connection, DVI is in most new graphics card, if the monitor you buy has DVI, you wont need to buy any adapters.
Er, no you don't thats the maximum......
If you're going to buy a new monitor, its best to run it at the maximum resolution for the best image quality. Of course, you don't have to.
Which is another point that you didn't even read it before attempting to post.
"I beleive you need a 1680x1050 resolution." Failed.
Anyone elses views on the monitor please? :)
I apologise for that. I was supposed to put "I beleive you need a 1680x1050 resolution for the full quality this monitor can offer".
Also, i'd recommend having 2x22" if you are not sitting with the monitors directly in front of you, you will need at least 30CM of space to stop your eyes straining. I was sitting about 20CM away with 2x19" monitors and my eyes were straining as they were too close to my face. When I moved them to 25CM, my eyes were not straining as badly.
:rolleyes: i've sat within 20cm of my monitors for about 7 years now, it's never strained my eyes.
I guess I have poor vision then :(
Sorry about that
What do you do that requires you to have two 22" monitors :P?Quote:

Good luck finding a decent pair of monitors?
are you planning to run them at their native resolution?
1280x1024
Lol, you're silly.Quote:

2) You've not even chosen a widescreen resolution, so it's going to be a stretched image as well as blurred.
