    Need new display

    Had to give one of m monitors to my in-laws so I'm in the market for a new display.

    right now I have an ASUS VW266H 25.5" 1920 x 1200. I'm trying to match another one to it problem is they don't make this model anymore.

    So I'm trying to decide if I buy a similar size one that runs 1200 x 1080 and lower the resolution on mine of find a slightly smaller one that runs at 1920 x1200. I'm trying not to spend a heck of a lot and most of the quality 1920 x1200's run upwards of $1000.

    NewEgg has these 1920 x 1200 models for a somewhat reasonable price HP LA2405wg for $280
    The Hanns-G HZ281HPB 27" for $279

    I could get this ASUS VE258Q Black 25" 1920 x 1080 for $249
    I could also get this ASUS VE278Q Black 27" used less then a yr old for $250

    Any opinions? Experience with any of these?

    Thanks

    I have the ASUS VW266H too, but I need to RMA it. I was also looking at the ASUS VE258Q to replace it, the user reviews are outstanding for it. I was wondering how much of a difference the resolutions would look like between the two.

    The Ilyama ProLite E2607WS is a contender too. Stand is a bit limited (as it tends to be on cheaper monitors), and the default settings are pants, but once you've adjusted it then it's a good screen. I use a pair of them.

    Re: Need new display

    I dont know much about displays but I just picked up the ASUS VS248H-P $209 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236153

    I picked them becuase of the LED, 2ms, thinish bezel. Reviews seem decent. I have been a Samsung loyalist since 2001 but their recent LED offering have been lacking DVI. I will let you know how the ASUS looks.
