    I need a new monitor for use with my laptop (VGA) and PS3 (HDMI).

    This monitor has both of these ports, and it has been reduced.

    What do you guys think as to the quality and features of this monitor? I think it's great value, and looks like an excellent monitor.

    If you are using the PS3 with it, you may want to think about getting a Full HD monitor.

    And what exactly are the full specs of the pictured monitor? And how do you intend to use it?

    cheers ...

    I do not need full 1080p (plus I do not have the money!). All I will be using it for is general computer usage, gaming (ps3) like COD6 etc. so I don't need a fantastic monitor, just a decent one. If you could recommend any good monitors at a cheap price that would be great...

    The monitor pictured is linked by blue text in the original post.

    But the PS3 runs at 1080p.

    If possible, try and get an IPS monitor rather than a TN panel. IPS will provide superior quality.
