Rcommendation for a new PC monitor

Hi

I am looking around for a new monitor, after working out how much power my current CRT monitor guzzles and the amount of hours it's on each day, (after I picked myself up of the floor) I decided that it's time to get a new TFT monitor

I have a budget of around £200.00 and would like a 24in but would also like 2ms response time, from what I have seen so far it looks like to stay within budget and keep the 2ms response time I will have to settle for 22in.

Has anyone got any recommendations please? and does any one know where I can read some comparison reports?

Thanks

    You're not going to get a decent 24" for anywhere less than £350+

    This is a fantastic monitor and just slightly over budget but it's a worthy investment

    Anything under a 5ms response time you wont see in anything greater than a 19" for under 300. But you can get a good 22" iiyama for under 200.
