Looking for a new 24" monitor.

[mokresh]

Hello guys! I built a new PC a few months ago and now I'm looking to buy a new 24" monitor for it. I searched around a few shops and are some good offers but i reall don't know much about monitors. So far I liked this model the best:

A read a few reviews of it and they were mostly positive, but some guy said the colours were a bit dull and it shipped with a few dead pixels so he had to return it which concerns me. Overall i think it has good specs for the price but then again i don't know much about monitors.
What do you guys think about it? Any suggestion in this price range - 130-150 Euro. I don't have any brand prefferences, but I'd like it to be at least 23.6".

What about this one? Asus IPS monitor with built in speakers and 2 HDMI ports and VGA. IPS has the best picture quality overall. It is 23 inches though, but still pretty close.

Edit: There are some others near the max budget of £150 but some don't have HDMI or is less than 23 inches. Unless you are absolutely sure you won't use HDMI, since it is so common with so many things.

The one i posted has HDMI, and I'd really like HDMI as well. Also there's quite a difference betteen £ and €, the one you posted costs way out of my budged in my country. However I guess I'd sacrifice HDMI in the name of price, the difference between DVI and HDMI isn't so great i think. Also i don't really care if it has built in speakers, because I mostly use my headset and i already have speakers.

Oh, lol, oops, hit the wrong money icon What about this one then? It has HDMI, DVI, and VGA and it is 24 inches with 2 ms response time. I chose Italian just for the money sign, so just ignore that, you can change it to your country on the top right corner if it is there.

Edit: Strange how it is in different price in pcpartpicker for the monitor you linked, but the specs are not bad either, just 0.4 inches shorter and with 1 less connector if you want to get that one instead.

The GL2450HM by BenQ is definitely a great monitor for your needs OP.

Strange, I liked the BenQ GL2450HM but in my country there is only one shop that sells it and its REALLY overpriced (about 180 euro which is outrageous). Well I guess there arent many choices in that price range. I found BenQ GL2450 (without the HM) as well as BenQ GL2450HE for that price. Are these any good?

Nevermind, i found out that they are lacking HDMI and have a bit higher response time.

That one is not too bad, but it is a TN panel, I'd stick with IPS if you want the best picture overall.

What do you guys think about Acer G246HLBbid?
