HDMI monitor recomendation

[meddyliol]

Can anyone recommend a relatively cheap HDMI monitor? I am fed up of trying to get a decent picture AND sound. With my VGA monitor I can get a good picture but no sound and with my Logik TV I get crap picture and good sound. I have tried everyones suggestions so far but cannot get a display with sound and good picture.

Thanks

Brian

Have a look at the Philips 227E4LHA, I got one some time ago from PC World. I think it has everything you are after, and isn't expensive.

Anything with a DVI-D interface is good. I 100% adore my Philips 190V4LSB (although it's only 1366x768 not 1080p).

8 bit per pixel true color MVA panel. Not vivid near natural colors. Non screen glare. White bright not harm eye like others. Very good contrast. Good deep blacks. Normal for high white. Good viewing angles.

Its not have pixel response like TN panels. But we have not ghost problem with fast fps gaming.We can get more detail specialy for gradient like light source graphics. Like scene sample:

If u try good natural scene picture on your background. Result is like wall picture wall painting. Colors not vivid but realist. (We get best result with custom color option. With maxed all rgb. There is options sRGB, ...., .... U can select best one for u)

While I agree that you will get a good display with DVI-D, the OP also wants decent sound and DVI-D doesn't carry audio, so your solution is (for him) no better than the VGA monitor he already has.

4+ years ago bought a Hannspree 23" 1080p Freeview TV (UK) good picture with HDMi, sound crap but remidied by using the headphone socket to Logitech 2:1 Speakers, well under £200.00 at the time.....

That Philips monitor has an analog input and comes with a double ended 3.5mm lead. It's not HDMI sound but good enough for listening to MPD/MPC.

Thanks for your replies. I will inwardly analyse and digest the info.
