Thanks so much for the advice, it's really appreciated. I think I'll go for the HP... or the Dell haha! I do like the rotating stand idea... really neat. I was using a LCD 19"... really bad reflections on it in day... but then again I do most of my editing between 1 an 4 am!...
Budget is really tight... I saw a HP w2408... eBay... 100 pounds... sadly it's pick up only from 300 miles away! Oh well... I'll keep hunting and when we finally get a new PC and monitor I'll be reporting back here with all the details and the photographic results!
