Windows 7 - Recommendation for a new monitor?

biggles1000 · 08-26-2011

Just asked this question on gdgt:

"I am looking for a good 23"-30" monitor (preferably closer to the 23" end) to compliment my new computer (my old 16" Sharp monitor (Sharp LL-T1620) is rather useless nowadays, to say the least).
I am looking for a preferably matte finish, don't mind about widescreen or not, preferably still manufactured/supported, must have HDMI and VGA ports (perhaps DVI instead of HDMI if it's an amazing monitor otherwise).

I would like it to be relatively affordable and a 'quality' brand such as LG, Sharp, Panasonic etc.
A recommendation from a first-hand user of one would be greatly appreciated."

...but then realised I would probably get a better and friendlier answer here

So, anyone got any recommendations?

(My 'uses' are typical computer usage (work (mainly designing some future websites for me) and web browsing), gaming and watching videos (films, tv shows and web tv networks such as Revision3 and TWiT)
