Since im thinking of selling my 8800gts and getting either a GT or a 3870 or even the new GTS i was also looking at a new screen since my 19" (1280x1024) is a little small. =)
Found a bargain on the net and it seems to good to be true, been looking around the internet for reviews but didnt find any. (Well opinions from the very site that sold it...)

So have i missed anything in the specs or is this a good buy if you play alot?
The resolution i want on a screen about half the price of a 24".
Im mostly impressed with the resolution on that screen, how does 1920x1200 look on a 22" compared to a 24"?

(It says graphics & displays but displays isnt a subsection?)

Yeah im not very good when it comes to LCD screens thats why im asking the questions, but to me a 22" @ 1920x1200 for £159 seems like a better deal then a 20" @ 1650x1080 for £140.
That is if the first one can handle games that is, a lesser known brand doesn't bother me that much.

Thats why im wondering if anyone seen anything wrong with the Daewoo that i might have missed or if they know anything about it.
How does a 22" compare to other screens that handles 1920x1200 like the 24" ones?
As i said i can't find any reviews about it, is it named differently in other parts then europe?

(Just did a search and got this thread in the top 5 on google...)

No one has any opinion at all?
There must be someone who has a a clue about 22" vs 24" @ 1920x1200 or atleast think its a good buy or not.
I mean its cheaper then many 20" screens even, so is it something "wrong" with it?

Anyone?

Personally I would never buy a monitor without viewing it in person. The colours on a cheaper screen can be significant worse. For example when I have lan gaming sessions with a mate we both have 22" screens, mine is a samsung 226BW and his is a cheap philips. next to each other the colour display on the samsung is noticably superior, far more vivid colours, everything just looks so much sharper aswell. Id recommend if possibly try and find it in a store near you and demo it then buy online for the cheaper price.

p.s. Response time seems a bit slow but that may not be noticable.
