Monitor for Xmas

[Colonel Mitch]

1 thing i should point out is aldi buy wholesale from big companies like LG and rebrand so if u buy a tevion, medion or gericom display your likley getting an LG. I know my plasma tv and my nans LCD's are all LG's really even though there branded Tevion. So you should expect something good from aldi on that front, not sure about other makes but we have severak different generic monitors here and there all fine.

I know about dynamic contrast ratios, theres a monitor on OCUK that boasts 50,000:1 contrast ratio, but they never show the 'true' contrast ratio in the specs. By all means go with a budget monitor, and you probably won't ever know the difference unless you put them side by side. But seeing as you aren't buying it Trigger, I'd stay away from 24" monitors that cost £150, unless it has good reviews.
