need a new computer monitor

spaceboy

My old Iiyama flat screen has stopped working. There's something wrong with the power input section and it keeps switching off and on again every couple of seconds.

Dont want to spend too much on a new one, around £100. Any recomendations?

If you see one you like on any site, it is worth searching amazon for it to see if there are any reviews

How old is your monitor & have you tried to get it repaired?

About 5 or 6 years old and no I have not. It would probably cost quite a bit to repair it though - doubt it's worth it.

Found this one that looks good, only downside is no HDMI socket:

Apparently converting HDMI is not a good idea

" hdmi is useless if you convert it, its like taking a fiber connection and slamming it down into a telephone connection, vga just cannot handle the bandwidth, neither can dvi, thats why they made hdmi for high bandwidth applications, you convert to it and it is just a waste of money "

LED backlit look better than the low priced one's without the feature.
