so?, should I get the Acer, which I hear is one of the best monitor manufacturers, or, get the Samsung with a much faster responce time, DVI input, for £50 more ENFO NEED HALP.
edit: I haven't made a poll in so long, so just vote for the top two, or whatever, I'll just count both the samsung's as one.

My personal experience:
I use Acer (on my PC, obviously, not my iMac), and am quite happy with the results, although I don't see anything mindblowing. My previous screen had DVI and it was, at least for my flying piece of shit that calls itself a computer, far more trouble than it's worth. And 5 ms is, at least for me, far better than I need already. Don't go and buy one with 20 or 18 ms, you'll regret it, but if it's between 5 or 2, it doesn't really matter. For these reasons, I say Acer. Your Mileage May Vary.

I have a 19' ACER AL1916W and so far no problems, I use a VGA --> DVI plug and it works fine. Monitors these days should work with DVI so you should find no problems.

This is my setup.. I like it especially for using notepad. no need for wordwrap anymore!
but seriously.. I just bought two 22" AOC widescreens for $700AU (350 quid UK.. I guess.. pretty cheep for 2 monitors)
cheep as chips but they are sweet really.. money gets you a nice black screen.. like proper black... thats all.. its not really essential for general gaming and internet.. more of a movie essential.
