Title: Monitors
Post by: T_J_G on 01 January 2012, 15:11: Right I'm after a monitor for the study to use with my MacBook. Needs to be widescreen and 18.5 inch +

Don't really want to spend a great deal if I'm honest, any bargains out there? What should I be looking for?

That Asus is more than I wanted to pay, won't be used a great deal only when I'm studying. Anything bigger wont fit on the desk.

Mac pro and is brilliant for graphic design and gaming.

Ta anyway people!

You need to speak to Chris, he does not always have them in stock but gets them regularly/to order.
We bought a 50" plasma off him for work and I nearly had one off him for home but I could not get my cable tv to work properly although the computer was excellent. they sell in the region of £150 + delivery if you are not local
