22" LCD Monitor

It will be well worth it, my father is trying to do the same thing. The only deciding factor at the moment is his old (800MHz) laptop won't support it at it's maximum resolution. The desktop displays but the monitor overlays an "out of sync" message. I seem to remember someone here discussing it with me and saying that it was one of the better "types" of TFTs because you can view it from any angle but darned if I can remember which one it was :doh:

Well the decision was made for me. The store was out of stock of the Asus. As you and any other CP regular should know, I have the patience and attention span of a 2 year old. So I bought the ChiMei and the snuck it into the boot of my wife's car. The kids just gave me my Fathers Day present early. So you just know that I am going to install it tonight and you will see my I Got A New Monitor post in a few hours.

So anyway, it's Fathers day this Sunday and I have been squirrelling money away for a new monitor. So I thought what better way to get a present I want and fast track the purchase than to throw what I have at it and let the Missus and kids throw in the rest. So while I would love to have the cat's arse of monitors it's going to be a compromise I what I have to spend combined with what I can find. The following monitors are within my price range and are availble at stores nearby. AUD$329.00 ChiMei 221D[^] AUD$329.00 Proview FP222AFW[^] (Can't find it on the site) AUD$335.00 BenQ FP222W[^] AUD$335.00 Acer AL2216WD[^] AUD$295.00 V7 L22WD[^] Does anyone own any of these models? What are your thoughts? Even if you don't own one, if you have any knowledge, please have a look at the specs and tell me if there is something else I should be looking for. If you have a completely different make/model you're happy with that has the same screen real estate give me your recommendations. Thanks in advance.

I have the Acer AL2423W (24" TFT, 1920x1200) and the contrast on it is superb. If the 2216WD works as well, you will be very happy with it. :)
