Hi Guys

My monitor died...:( so I'm using my mates 17inch samsung CRT until I can afford a new one.

I want to buy one this weekend. I have enough for either one of these monitors....A BenQ or an AOC...Not really sure which one I should go for.

Here are the links -

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=558_565&products_id=12722 - AOC

http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=558_565&products_id=12310 - BenQ

My mates say to go the BenQ as they think AOC is a 'crap' brand...But I like the look and warranty on the AOC..

What do you guys think?

Cheers

My budget is 'cheapest 24 inch LCD at the local store'. Haha. And these two fit that budget...

In a state of flux...
The BenQ I have is a great monitor, far better than the Acer I have and they both cost the same.



Out of the two you listed, the BenQ is by far the better of the two and that would be my choice. :)
