    That has quite a high native resolution for such a small display. Are you sure you'll be able to read anything on it? :think:

    If you're willing to compromise a bit, you could get a MESH. That's what I did last time around.

    noOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MESH have gone SO downhill that they shouldnt be touched with a bargepole!! Have a google for buyer complaints - forums for them - my second MESH spent more time at the workshop than on my desk - coming back with more wrong than it went away with sometimes - I gave it away when it was 2 years old, it was causing me so much grief I didnt care about my 5 year guarantee.

    When did this happen? I've had mine for about three years now.

    Wait for prices to drop? Your 20" Pebble should be fine for the time being.

    I was thinking that, but such a shame to get a £900 gaming rig and have it on my tv:D

    To be honest it don't look a great tv, not sure why so many like it. But guess could put up with it till save a few more quid and get a decent one.

    By the way what brand should i get when got abit of money?

    That 'TV' has a native resolution of 1680x1050.

    As for potential replacements, there's no one brand that consistently beats the competition; the panels they use are often made by other companies anyway. I suggest you refer to the following: Pay special attention to panel type and whether it requires calibration before use. It's no use getting the best monitor in the universe if the default settings aren't up to scratch, especially if you can't afford a colorimeter.
