A nice monitor?
Hey Guys,
Just with regards to non-gs questions, I'd like to ask do you guys have any suggestions for a monitor under $200? (Available in Europe - Preferably) one with nice graphics and preferably a nice brand like Samsung, HP, Dell or LG...
My old cinema display has gone to the death-bed I'm afraid so Its time to get a nice new display for my Macbook pro, So it would be nice to get suggestions,
Thanks,
Jack - LeonardDev

You've probably checked here, but...

theyre both from top rated plus sellers, brand new, and one has 3 year warranty and the other has 60 day warranty.
Theyre both 1080p, and the 22 inch is HP and 27 inch is Samsung, and are priced at 98 and 200 dollars respectively.
Oh, and they both have HDMI ports (and no thunderbolt ports, obviously) so, unless you have a Retina MacBook Pro, you will need a thunderbolt (or minidisplayport, check your MacBook Pro model) to HDMI adapter, to use it. This cable supports both ports for 5$

I recommend the 27 inch, by the way, for the screen size.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the advice - Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of iiyama,

Thank you every so much for your long post on this, It was a big help to me I found: http://www.pixmania.ie/ie/uk/11791035/art/samsung/s27b350h-syncmaster-27-fu.html?key=0&srcid=10538&partenaire=google_ppc_ie&mctag=gg_goog_1432&nopopup=1&CodePromo=oui&gclid=CMDGvrHahrQCFUc72wodCWIATg
Its a little bit more expensive here - But I think this should be okay, - I took your advice on 27inch... My old cinema display was that size and its well worth it,
Thanks Mate
