Would this one be ok for my little sister?

Seems to be an ok/middleish range one. She doesnt play games, but watchs a lot of video clips.

Other than that word.

Cheers guys and gals

you can get a branded 17" TFT for around that price, I have a Samsung SyncMaster 172v and it does a good job :thumbs:

[LiGhTfast]

its £233 on the specials page
http://www.aria.co.uk/specials.asp

i was thinking of getting one

[Gavin01]

Well it probably is a brand as i doubt aria have the resources to make them i just wonder which?

Anyway all the user reviews seem ok

[iammaz]

Brand is DIGIMATE- excellent monitor for the money!

[Gavin01]

Well ive ordered one for my little sister anyway, will let you guys know what its like when it arrives:)

[locutus_uk]

Was looking at this so would be interested to hear your opinions

[Gavin01]

will do mate, should be here tomorrow:)

[Gavin01]

ps there is some one selling one for £200 on ocuk forums

[Gavin01]

Received it this morning, very nice looking monitor, solid metal base construction. Very stable. Only bad thing is the buttons are a little loose. But then for £245inc its not going to be the best quality

Picture quality is very good, with no blurring during games or dvd watching. In fact its so sharp it makes the divx films she has look very poor quality. Will post later with any more results.

[LiGhTfast]

Anychance you can take some pics? the one on aria isnt the best and this seems pretty good from the reviews on aria

[Big A]

I'm interested in this, some pics would be good if you can

They deliver VERY quickly don't they:eek:

[Big A]

[Gavin01]

[Samba123]

Thanks for flagging this up - been looking for a budget TFT for a while so couldn't resist. Will let you all know how I get on as well.

Perhaps worth a post in the Bargain forum too?

:)

[locutus_uk]

Nice TFT but I just ordered one of these (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/ProductDetail.aspx?TabPage=overview&sku=320-0697&c=us&l=en&cs=19&page=external) off Aria for £280

Can't wait for it to arrive :clap:

[Big A]

Thanks Gavin, i'll probably still order that one but looking around stil...

Are Samsung a good brand for TFT's i can get this one for £250 delivered

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=4450

[Big A]

Gavin01, could you tell me where the three point AC plug is on the back, i know some monitors have them on the side which irritates me,

A pick may be nice :D

thanks in advance

[Gavin01]

Samsung are good its just the cheaper ones have a high response time which equals blur duing games and dvds etc.

PIcs coming up

[Gavin01]

http://www.gavinprosser.btinternet.co.uk/tftpics.zip

Zipped up the pics as they are high res, i dont know if u can make out the pic on the back but it uses a transformer anyway so all u have on the back is the monitor lead and a small jack lead plus the transformer but the lead is long enough so u can put it where u like. SO no thick mains lead on your desk:D

If u want pics of anything else let me know:)

Hope that helps you

[Big A]

Thanks Gavin, much appreciated :thumbs:

Where's the cheapest place to get an IIyama 431 and is the only diff between that and the 430 the fact that the 431 comes with speakers?

[Faythur]

www.new-monitors.co.uk AFAIK.

Dunno about the differences - I have a 431 :)
