Which 24" monitor should I buy for watching internet tv?

googles_2

Anyone any ideas - preferably based on personal experience - as to which monitor I should consider buying for the sole purpose of watching internet television?

I'm considering three models but don't know if there may be hidden problems with them. These are:

ViewSonic VA2448-LED 24 inch LED Wide Screen Monitor (price: £132.84)

HannsG HL231DPB 23 inch Widescreen LED TFT Monitor (price: £109.84)

Acer ET.UG5HE.019 G245 23.6 inch Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor (price: £128.55)


Should anyone have any good advice to offer I'd be most grateful to hear it.

Not sure about those models, but I'm really pleased with my BenQ G2420HDBL. It's an LED-lit LCD panel, and I've found it great for minimising eyestrain. It gives a very sharp, clear image. I've had it for about 18 months and haven't had any problems with it.

Except for minimal stand adjustment, the only slightly negative point would be its colour accuracy. For general computing and watching video, it's not something I've really noticed, but might be a problem for expert photographers. Also, there aren't quite as many settings to adjust as you might find on a more expensive monitor, but the "image type presets" (standard, movie, game, photo, sRGB, economy) work quite well.

I use the same monitor. I calibrated Standard for everyday browsing, which minimises eyestrain and use RGB for watching Full HD films. Crisp with good colour accuracy.
The other settings aren't much good to me. Happy with the monitor.

Makes no difference what you buy because the quality of the source is usually poor anyway.
