Get the Acer 26" TV - accepts monitor input... and it'll save you a few quid.

The resolution is much less than the 24 monitor, and its more expensive than the ACER monitor

'Er indoors has just got a 19" Dell and it is very good I have to say.

She got it from a clearance place on eBay, refurbed by Dell. Impossible to tell from brand new for a LOT less cash...

Ok,..

but the resolution is still less

Does he insist on a massive resolution then?

If he just runs his desktop at 1024x768 the max resolution will make little or no odds...

I would think that with a monitor that big you will need to run a fairly big resolution otherwise it will look shite

which one ?

[Plotloss]

Not neccesarily.

Most people dont like looking at a desktop of over 1280x1024 which is the usual max 19" TFT size.

It's a Dell 24" widescreen.

Got an Acer 26" widescreen at home, but can't remember what res I'm running at...

[roadsweeper]

I have the Dell 24" WUXHA screen running at 1920x1280 at it is utterly awesome.

[rebelstar]

Me too. It's great. Plus a 20" 1600x1200 next to it for a super-wide desktop

[FrenchTVR]

I have a pair of 20.1" Viewsonics running 1600x1200, excellent

The answer to your question is don't buy from Dell direct.

This is a bit more like it:
