got an ATI RADEON 5750 1GB HD, so i am buying a HD tv/screen for my pc.

Shall i get the:
IIYAMA E2271HDS 22" LED WIDESCREEN <<< 139£

or

IIYAMA E2472HD 24" LED WIDESCREEN<<< 179£

or something else?

 

[Rakk]

Well, I've got the 24" Iiyama and I definitely like it.
Depends what you can afford really, but I'd go for the best I could get for what money I had.

 

[PringlesInside]

selling ps3 and its stuff, so i will get 200 quid. lol comparing the 22 to 24inch , big price. btw can you take a picture of your 24inch iiyama screen?

 

[Rakk]

The Iiyama is the one on the left, the one on the right is a generic 22"

 

[PringlesInside]

thanks! , is there much difference between the 22 and the 24 ? same reso... only wider by 2inches . hmm

 

[Rakk]

Well for the same resolution it'll just make things slightly bigger and easier to see.
For me it made a bigger difference cos my 22" can only do 1680x1050 rather than 1920x1080.

1024 x 768 ,is my current reso. :O

possible to put an image up(any time dw) of both screens displaying same thing, for e.g both got a game up? wud be cool to see difference

 

[Rakk]

Given that the only camera I have is a 4 year old phone with crappy resolution, you're lucky you got a picture that you could see anything on at all, so no I can't help you there.

 

[PringlesInside]

just wondering, for a big screen such as 24inch / 22 inch , wudnt u need a very good graphics card? and my graphics card will be fine?

 

[Rakk]

Well, I'm happily running both the 24" at 1920x1080 and the 22" at 1680x1050 on my single 1GB GTX460 with no issues. You should be absolutely fine.

 

[PringlesInside]

+

are they HD ready 1080p ?


+
the 22 and 24 have the same resoultion..1920 x 1080 ...
so the 24inch will just be streching more?

 

[PringlesInside]

also... 2ms on the 24inch and 5ms on the 22 inch!!! :S

 

[Phoenix]

I don't think anyone can tell the difference between 1-5ms it's pretty much the same and still pretty bad compared to ancient CRT monitors.

 

[PringlesInside]

ok, thanks. 1 ) is there a noticeable size and quality (if any) difference between the 22inch and 24inch? 2) are both the 22inch and 24inch full HD ready 1080p ?

 

[Rakk]

Well, both the monitors you are look at are the same resolution (1920x1080) and both claim to be full HD.
The 24" will be slightly larger and therefore things will look slightly bigger, which should mean less squinting at really small things , the quality should be roughly the same for both monitors.

 

[PringlesInside]

ok tthanks! ive decided il go for 22inch beacuse il be close to it and dont want my eyes dropping off. how do i go about ordering it from here, pcspecialist? also its 1080p right? . will be ordering this soo

 

[Phoenix]

I think you just need to call them on 0844 499 4000 and have your ID number ready to quote from a previous order, yeah it's 1080p.

Nice!
Things to note, since I've got the same monitor, the brightness on mine when I got it was set at some humungously high level, so you may have to turn it down a bit when you get it.

ok. Will look out for this, as soon as i get it !
Do i need to install any drivers or something, for this screen? or just plug n play.
