Dell are doing a recycle scheme at the moment, worth a look

I bought the 21" screen and got £60 back with the return of some old thing I had lying about

Came in to suggest HannsG for what you want.

I bought 2 28" widescreens a while back when there was a sale on and they are perfect, haven't had a single problem and relative to the price of other monitors I fink dey wok

It's the opposite of low cost, but the 30" Ultrasharp Dell monitor I bought is my single best poker purchase.

Looks OK for a basic 22" 1920x1080 monitor.

Someone else is selling them for £87 delivered - http://www.crescentelectronics.co.uk/node/287399

Crescent are selling them for £87 direct from their own site.

I'll only really be using it for grinding as a primary monitor alongside the one I've got. looks like I'll be purchasing it. Thx guys

PS 1920x1080 on 22" is going to be v. small - hope you got good eyesight.

What's your current monitor size/resolution? Our desktop is 1440x900 on 19" and I find it too small. Then again i had my eyes tested today and can't see the biggest letter without specs  :o

PC World is the worst, google whatever one you want and I'd be suprised if it wasn't cheaper elsewhere.

If I'm reading it right it's £78 after trade-in.

If so, /thread.
