I've been looking a lot of monitors lately and I've narrowed it down to the BenQ G2410HD, the Asus VH226H and the Asus VH222H and i need help deciding! =P

Thanks,

The Samsung 2343BWX is by far the best monitor to get right now. It's dirt cheap (almost free), 2048x1152, superb colour and contrast, and pretty big at 23 inches!

Depending on your video card, you may need to buy a DVI-D Dual cable as a single can't fit the bandwidth needed for that resolution.

That's the 2343BW - not sure how important the missing "x" is.

Dual DVI-D cables have 2x as many wires for video transmission. They cost about $8 on various websites, and are as thick as a garden hose haha.

Try a Single DVI-D, it should work (mine does), but if not, order a dual.
