I bought a new laptop a month or two back, and the old monitor I had didn't really support the resolution or widescreen. I usually hook the monitor up to my laptop and my work laptop, with a KVM switch, so that when I'm working at home (most days) I can flick between my own machine and the firm's.

Didn't really want anything too fancy so I bought an AOC monitor, 20" LED, nice and slim, etc - but it's just noticeably not as sharp as the laptop screen, and I can't live with it - so it's going back.

But what to replace it with (without spending mega-bucks). A mid-range decent LED (ie slim, wall-mountable if required) monitor, 20" or so, no other bells or whistles required!

Thanks.

Samsung or Dell are the only half decent screens I come across at work and they seem to outlast the IBM/Lenovo stuff... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I've used a 24" Benq in just this way for years and I think they are all lots cheaper now.

It's not a recommendation as I haven't ever owned another (so nothing to compare it with) since the days of the CRT  Geoff

Maybe another solution is, a Logitech keyboard/laptop stand (Logitech Alto). I have used one for years with my 17 inch HP. It brings the laptop screen to eye height and the keyboard itself is a "normal" keyboard, plus some handy buttons like volume control etc.

Next to that I have my work laptop (Elitebook 12 inc) in docking station with a 21 inch screen (HP) on a monitor stand and separate keyboard plus mouse. That way I can quickly go from work to play when at home  MY 2010 5.0 SC Galway green and sand interior!!

I have had a HANNSG 24" hdmi, hd & 1920x1080 for the last couple of years. Excellent and only cost £140. .
