Mr Bump is right. Buying a monitor for the purpose we here use them for needs a bit of careful thought. It would be easy to get sucked in to buying a pro monitor for editing. When I purchased my monitor I knew that the cheap end type were fine for surfing and for office use, but totally unsuitable for serious image editing. Why I like the HP w2207 is that if I move my head from one side of the screen to the other I get no distortion. This means that the peripheral view stays exactly the same as the tunnel view when I fidget in my chair. The downside (if you can call it that) is the glossy screen can be annoying if you have window light coming directly over your shoulder. You certainly need to position the screen away from direct window light.

I paid a little under 300 quid about two years ago now, so not cheap, but not expensive either. Good hunting.
