I have to say I don't think this can be beaten in terms of quality vs price. You have to catch it on what Aria call a super special to get it really cheap but 19" TFT with DVI.

However I assume this has already been covered on another thread

I have found 19" TFT with DVI cheaper, £180.70 delivered at https://www.ebuyer.com

It is the "benq FP931". Type in 63390 in the search box on the site

Yes, the Benq FP931 may be cheaper, but it doesn't have the same spec as the Medion one. The Benq has a slower response time (16ms), less bright screen (250cd/m2) and less contrast tones (500:1). Still, it's a good screen.

Don't always believe TFT monitor reaction times, because there is no standard of measuring them.

One manufacturer may use colour to colour, one may use black to white, another may even use light grey to dark grey. The push to make sales means that you can almost never trust a spec that looks too good (and at this price, it does.)

The only thing I would personally trust is reviews from people who know what they are talking about. I usually refer to PCFormat myself.

For gaming, you absolutely cannot settle for second best when it comes to reaction timings and contrast ratios. If you want to "R0X0RZ 7EH B1G ONE11!1!!", then this is probably not the monitor for you.

However, for general use you could certainly save a lot of money on this monitor.

20ms is no good for FPS / gaming.

the aldi one at £20 more looks very good spec for that price.
