That way I should be able to afford the more expensive 2.4GHz Macbook. Enough with the chat, I've browsed around at a local store and here are the displays that caught my eye:
- Samsung 2223NW - 22'' - 1680*1050 - 169 euros
- Philips 200CW - 20.1'' - 1680*1050 - 159 euros
- AOC 2215Sw - 21.6'' - 1680*1050 - 159 euros
There's little information about these monitors on the web. Just the one PC Pro review for the Philips monitor (
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/labs/206880/philips-200cw.html). The Samsung and AOC monitors only seem to support D-SUB. I'm not sure how much of a problem this might be for my limited requirements. Additionally, I'll probably want a VGA adapter for connecting to overhead displays. So even if I bought the Philips monitor, I might still opt for using D-SUB anyway.
Is anyone here familiar with these monitors? If not, I'll probably go with the Samsung because it's the prettier one.
